So I feel like Nelly with the little Band-Aid on my face. I had a birthmark removed today during lunch and half of my face is numb. Well, actually it is just starting to wear off and hurt like hell, but that should go away soon.

At first my right nostril, top right lip face, and teeth were numb. I looked like I had a stroke because my lip was all droopy on the right side. Well, this is quite a change. I’ve always had this one bump next to my nose and now it’s gone. There is this Nathaniel Hawthorne story about a Man who tried to remove the only imperfection from his wife ( a birthmark ) and it kills her. Interesting read.

I think I am still recovering from the concert. I am really tired today, even though I ate well this weekend and got enough sleep. It is hard to keep my eyes open at my desk, especially because I have been daydreaming about mummies; I watched a thing on the discovery channel yesterday about mummies. So I get to day dreaming about these archeological finds and how today I read in the NYTimes that there was an artifact discovered that could be the earliest known written reference to Jesus. And how lately everything I’ve been reading and watching has tied together in some way.
