More head swelling.

And this time it's not a mystery black eye.

Around the middle of yesterday evening, the right side of my neck started hurting. I ignored it, as I'd been awake since the previous day and weird, non-existent ailments sometimes pop up in situations like that. I woke up this afternoon with it throbbing, and I wound up laying in bed most of day trying not to move it. There's no bruise, but it's swollen under my right ear, not so much that you notice, but plenty so I notice. I can't tell if it's a gland, or if I've tweaked it doing something. Considering I don't do much, that last one seems unlikely. I have been sort of under the weather with a mild sinus infection [a side-effect of me not staying on top of my allergies], so I guess it could be from that -- but I've never had anything like it crop up before. Who knows? Currently, I'm filing it under my "mystery black eye" category, and just hoping it goes away in the next couple of days.

You know, I didn't think about it until now, but it's posts like this that are going to make it near-impossible to ever have a girlfriend again. "Oh, there's this guy I kind of like, let me check his blog to see if -- neck growth? ... Depressed? ... Rufus Wainwright fan?!" Starting to think all those people who say I sabotage myself might have a point.

Actually, that probably deserves more thought and less flippancy than I gave it just now. More later. Or maybe less? Hard to say.

Some work-related stuff. Justin has put up some of his work on the comic [Re: Calamity Cash and the Town with No Name] here, and don't forget to click on the "BIFF!" when you're finished for a little extra. He's been pretty busy lately, but he's still getting work done.

Also, click on this. What you're watching is a deleted scene from the Kevin Smith movie "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," and from 1:53 to 1:57, Kyle makes an appearance clapping for the title characters in the left hand part of the screen. Of course, we've known about him working on it for a while, but actually seeing it is another thing all together. Congratulations to our "Trendsetter" director Kyle -- let's hope TS will be joining this on his IMDB page soon.

Shalom.
