my ode to ivan and oral surgery

In the spirit of Robin Myers:

1. I have a face that is now both square and chipmunk-like.

2. I have eaten nothing but soup and chocolate milkshakes over the past two days.

3. My power is back.

I miss you all very much. I would urge you to come and visit, but I don't know if you could subsist on ambiguous, liquefied substances and derviving amusement from the throngs of people fighting over flashlights and chainsaws.
