    I was about to get lithotropsy 2 years ago for my 5mm stone but after giving me all the fun drugs, they found the stone had moved between my pelvis and couldn't get to it with the wand. (without potentially damaging my pelvis/spine) So I can got discharged and had to pee it out.... which was not painful at all, just weird.

    I just finished reading Times Arrow by Martin Amis after hearing a recommendation from Adam Savage on one of his videos. The concept is, to me, very unique and a challenging read. Towards the end I felt it dried up and was rushed. Didn't give me a book hangover at all.

    Now I'm reading Magician by Raymond E. Feist after being recommended by a colleague. Within the first chapter I was hooked. I always read at night and have conditioned myself to fall asleep reading... and now have to break the habit so I can actually get some quality reading time in for this novel.
