Pete sent me a new toy to play with, and as you can see it had a little difficulty making it through Australian airports. That reminds me, at the end of next week Tom is doing, for the third time now, my uvula piercing. Marty is getting his done too, but we were thinking of making it silly and setting a record (“most uvulas pierced in one day”). Anyway, if you're interested, drop me or Tom a line.
"I was driven to have the uvula piercing because it reflected the mind. When you put a pair of forceps on a uvula, it feels like you've grabbed the center of the mass of the inside of your head — if you cough up a piece of rice and it sits in the back of your sinus passage, you understand that spot. Psychologically it feels like you're getting the center of your head pierced. That is so live, so real, and the risk inherant only added to the psychological imperative, and I was just driven to have it. Again, not a rational action, but that's not the point."
