When I was very young, one of my grandmothers got a facelift. Actually, they probably both did, but this anecdote is just about one. When I saw her, I asked her to change it back. I loved her and it terrified me that my uncle had made her look different with a knife. I didn’t understand that it wasn’t the sort of thing you could return to the department store. I thought of that recently and it made me feel really terrible that I said that to her, even though I was just a little kid and didn’t understand the concept of plastic surgery. I just wanted her old face, the face that I knew, back.

Oh yeah, I went ahead and got the cortisone shot in my ankle this morning. The shot was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less horrible than I expected. I’m really sore now as expected, but it really didn’t hurt going in. The doctor was awesome. The mood side effects, one would expect from this type of injection, do seem to be in effect. In an ideal world, I would not have access to any mode of communication with others while recuperating. And yet I have access to the world 24/7. Isn’t the internet grand?

Ladies, you can booze it up to your heart’s content and shove the entire nation of Columbia into your nasal cavity if you want and I have no problem with that, but could you please not do it the night before you have a photo shoot scheduled. It makes you all cock-eyed and swollen and then I have to throw out images and photo sets where there is nothing wrong with Forrest’s and my concepts, composition, and lighting. My inclination has always been to just work harder to make someone look great. In the future, I think I might just cancel anyone who shows up looking like last night’s backwash. Why should I have to work harder because someone else partied harder?

So, as many of you know, I injured my ankle a couple years back. Two years after the break now, I still can’t use it normally or for any length of time, even when I ice it regularly. I’ve decided to try getting a cortisone shot tomorrow morning. Apparently this involves sticking a needle deep into the joint of my right ankle and pumping the medicine in.

I’m kind of nervous about the procedure, but optimistic that it could work and let me return to normal activity.

I would love to hear from any of you all who have had cortisone injections and what your experiences were.

Food finally arrived. I’m going to eat about two bites and fall asleep on the couch.

There is a delicious new outdoor series, by yours truly and Forrest Black, featuring Sara X and a monument relating to (I think) holistic medicine. Let’s hear it for Sara and holistic medicine (and of course Forrest’s and my brilliant photography)! Naughty part of course on BlueBlood.com

I never trust any woman who lists Sixteen Candles as one of her favorite movies.

The most fundamental flaws with society today can all be traced back to 80’s teen movies, specifically the work of John Hughes. I hoped, when I moved to Hollywood, that I would someday get the opportunity to tell him so in person. I’ve been here a while and haven’t run into him yet, so I thought I would post it on a nice busy site and wait for him to find it while ego-searching.

The message of pretty much all John Hughes movies is that you should hate successful people, while coveting what they have and having the exact same sucky values that the people you hate have. If you hate someone, why would you aspire to be like them? I understand that sometimes one can take a wrong turn in life, but who actually wants to become something they themselves hate?

TC is AWESOME. That will be all.

I’ve had a sort of a low-grade cold or something the last few days. There were a bunch of things I wanted to do and didn’t get to and I’m feeling peevish about it. Tomorrow is a big work day and marks my first day of return to a gym with other people in it. Not feeling the energy, but I guess I’ll have to. Stuff is mostly fine at the moment, but I’m feeling all uber-gothic anyway about the smallest things. I think I had some insights I was going to share, but I don’t feel up to it. Blargh.

Tune in to Playboy channel 198 between the hours of 4pm and 7pm Pacific/West Coast time today. Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn will be interviewing me and Forrest Black on Night Calls some time between 5pm and 7pm.

So you all can ring toll free 1 (877) 205-9796 to ask me and Forrest all the Blue Blood-related questions you’ve been dying to know the answers to. Breathing heavy encouraged, but please be nice ’cause I’m a delicate flower 😉

Why am I near a computer right now? My birthday is tomorrow, but, as I’m going to a couple things tomorrow, I’m supposed to be celebrating today. Computer be gone.

So should I be worried that apparently all my friends cook naked?

Note to self: Don’t cook bacon angry.
