Tomorrow’s the trek into Vegas – and I’m hitting a piercing shop somewhere.  I’ve had several recommendations from George of  The High Priestess Piercing shop in Eugene Oregon but so far they’ve been a wash.  Then it’s off to enjoy the miralax cocktails and live in the toilet, before I hit the ambulatory service for the upper GI and colonoscopy which is the day after which makes this the day before the day before.

I have to have my ear piercing  jewelry removed before the upper GI will be done.  UGH!  The inner conch is still sensitive and I’ve been told they are 12 gauge barbells, now that they’ve began to get really reasonable as far as irritation goes, I need to have the barbell shortened.   Of two shops I’ve checked with they say they can’t order them…I call BS on that but there’s no arguing about it, if they won’t do it, they won’t do it.  In the meantime, I have acrylic inserts for the conch piercings and all of the piercing jewelry has to be removed and the plastic acrylic inserted.

Today Tony G is going to face off with Isildur1 in the SuperStar Showdown at PokerStars.  Tony G is one of my favorite people.  Many in the poker world think he’s a noisy loudmouthed brat at the tables, and to a degree he probably is, but those that look at the whole picture really enjoy his sense of humor and how he approaches the game…I’m one of those.  His blog post up today has a picture of his new ride and some background on the Isildur1 match.  Check it out!  Whoops!  His site is down but should be back up shortly.

In the meantime I have things to do and can’t for the life of me figure out where to start.  Hope your New Year is starting off well.
