It is a testament to my newfound passion for dailyfying this blog that I'm posting. Long-time readers of this blog may remember that several months ago I had a couple root canals, and while in the dentist's chair I found out that I had won some Cuffies Awards from Publisher's Weekly.

So anyway, because the root canals didn't really work, I had to have something called an apicoectomy, which is where they cut open your gum and scrape infection out of your jaw. I cann't recommend this surgery to you highly enough, provided that you are the kind of person who likes to experience intense pain in the lower half of your face for several hours once the numbness wears off. (Incidentally, the numbness has just worn off.)

Anyway, I was hoping that I would find out about another Cuffies Award or something while sitting in the chair, but no dice.

So I may be out of commission for a couple days, delaying the announcement of the Contest Winners. (Also, please remember that you still have five whole hours to send me your submissions. sparksflyup at gmail.)

Oh, and this: Dude, did you know there's an MTV show about Hoover High School football? And did you know that I went to high school like ten miles away from Hoover High School? Maybe it's the Vicodin talking, but that sounds fantastic.
