Are pork rinds illegal?

Christ in a Chrysler, I went to fifteen places tonight before I found a damned pork rind. I needed something that I could eat that was crunchy. Damned fools.

Meantime, the low blood sugar and lack of carbs is making me wonder things. Like why God, in his infinite wisdom, gave me nipples. No, I’m not talking about tits, I did that to myself by eating like a swarm of locusts- just, what use is a nipple on a man?

Almost time for House. Seeya later.

Surgery update

Because of the job change and the molasses like speed of the University of Chicago, and quite a few other intervening issues, I have moved to the university of Illinois. The doctor there came highly reccomended by my own doctor, and it looks like I will be having the Lap band procedure. Several reasons for this: I’m a bit scared of the complexity of the other operation- and while it looked like a good fit, there were a few “oh by the ways” that seemed a bit too risky.

So the bottomline is that I will probably have the surgery end of march. In the meantime, I need to lose 35 lbs.

This should be a piece of cake, god knows I’ve done it so often before- so I’m doing Atkins up until I get down to the line, then they have an all-liquid diet I have to do for two weeks.

Please, God, let there be a real restaurant in Ames iowa.

I have been here two days anlast night had to eat at applebees, futhuchrissakes. Anyone know of a decent eatery in the area? Someplace I can get a big slab of liver, or a real steak cooked properly? a salad not polluted with croutons?
