Tacky in a pretty sort of way

[clevermanka]

I'm sending today's xkcd to the people who manage KU's website. Yes, I am. I just have to figure out who the fuck they are. I sent it to my contact in University Relations (who loved it and passed it to her web guys), but not even she knows who "flies the plane these days" as she put it. The search continues.

Acupuncture last night was an interesting and new experience. Kiva started a treatment to help with my metabolism issues. This involves putting little gold tacks in my ears and leaving them there until they fall out all on their own. She warned me that it would hurt a lot, but I was all "eh, it's ears! how bad can it be?" and really, it wasn't bad at all. The tacks do go down into the cartilage, but I tell you what, it wasn't half as bad as when she puts needles in my toes and it hurts so bad my opposite foot starts to cramp.


There are seven in each ear. One has TwoThree have already fallen out. All from my left ear. =(

Much worse than the discomfort is the issue that I can't sleep on my side. Or wear earplugs. Last night was incredibly unrestful. It was, in fact, pretty damn miserable. But don't they look awesome? So pretty. I hope they help.

Because I was awake way early enough to do my workout this morning, I did. It wasn't as wretched as Day One by a long shot. Although it's possible that I'm just better at these particular movements, I think the ease factor is on purpose. My jump-roping this morning sucked balls, though. Work-out write-up in a separate post.

Edit: Oh! Oh! I forgot to mention, about the ear tacks. Kiva said I was her first patient ever who was able to tolerate having all fourteen tacks put in during one session. Most people only can handle two or three per ear before calling in quits. *preen* I'm special!

For. Real.

And I still haven't figure out who manages the KU website. *sigh*

Thank my Geek Skills, which are stratospheric.

Alas, I know both those people, and neither of them are web designers. =(

Am I a web designer? Was John Daniel? If you can code HTML, you can become a web designer. It's not rocket science. The tech guy may have designed the site. Maybe his girlfriend did.

Unless you ask him, you won't find out.

Um...what? There's no way in hell I'd want to be a web designer. I was wondering who it was so I could send them that cartoon, not join their ranks! HA!

Good god, no. *shudder*

I will also note that while the main pictorial and headline material is XKCD-like, a great deal in the other circle of the diagram is also available on the front page of the KU site -- or is it that I see the other stuff because I am a geek?
