So I'm overjoyed to have a lovely infection in my right ear.   I'm sure some of you know that I have chronic ear problems, not the least of which is notable deafness, and ongoing tinnitus.  I often enough say that the reason I mention as my current music things like "Furnace: Running" because for me, there really IS music in the sound of the furnace, between the various tonality of the furnace itself, and the notes of the tinnitus, there are enough notes that my brain puts it together into music.

For the last few days though, the tinnitus has gotten progressively worse. At first I thought it was in both ears. See... Tinnitus isn't a real sound, so it's hard to interpret where it's coming from.  Now though, since last night, it's gotten loud enough, and has enough notes in the white noise that there is no doubt that it's in my right ear.  Also, at some point yesterday my left ear cleared completely (having my ears clear, where they feel clear is rare... they almost always feel like they are plugged) so that I was more acutely aware of my right ear ringing, and also it seems a little sore.  So... just yay...

Desktop Meme

I swiped this a long time ago from indigocub But I wanted to finish my Apple
Green Trilly Skin before I displayed.

Da Rulez!
1) Take a screenshot of your desktop.
2) To capture a desktop:
For PC: Press "Print Screen" (prt sc) button.
For Macs: Shift+Apple+3.

Actually, I use a program called Image Grabber for this, because it captures EVERYTHING, including my widgets and so on.)

3) Open your graphics program-o-choice.
4) Press CTRL + V or select edit & paste.
5) Save image as a *.jpg, *.png, or *.gif.
6) Upload the screenshot to your image server.
7) Post your screenshot in YOUR blog (not mine) along with these instructions.

I'm going to shrink this down to a size that it will fit my layout, and give a link to the full size image if you click on it.



So I'm sure you all know I love FMA, so there's the proof. Funniest thing about this desktop is that My!Ed... from Chasing the Trail claims he doesn't actually know how to ride a bike. But I still love this drawing.  See my widgets? Yay!
