More Machine than Man Now

So, I picked up my CPAP on wednesday (and am scheduled for a followup sleep study next wednesday. Joy). I've used it for the past two nights using the nost plug head mask.

It's an interesting device, to say the least. The first night I seemed to wake up a couple times, possibly because I needed to adjust my headset (I think there was air leakage). Last night's sleep went much better. I got the headgear adjusted first and just drifted off.

I think I may have been sleeping in an awkward position, as my neck was a little sore when I got up this morning.

I can foresee the device being nothing but a massive pain in the ass for the rest of my life.

I was reading the AV Club Comics thingy, and they had a review of "Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats!".

It's a softcover publication of an online series of comics playing with the concept of photos of cats who have cute captions on them (occasionally these cats look like fascist dictators) by presenting them as the offspring of a several decades old comic strip, presented in the same paperback format as every other newspaper strip used to be released in. To be honest, if it were any more Meta it would kill someone.

From the Onion review.

In the intro, Koford claims that "Laugh-Out-Loud Cats" originally ran in a few newspapers in 1912, and featured leaf-loving, happy-go-lucky Pip and his pal, duck-hating, cigar-chomping Kitteh, two vagabond felines who unaccountably speak in 21st-century net-slang. (Sample panel: Upon tasting the evening's hobo stew, Kitteh says, "Fail has a flavr.") The front of the paperback reads "First Time In Print In Over Sixty Years," and the back bears a stamp from the "Inland Empire Municipal Library System," creating the illusion that this is an artifact unearthed from some used bookstore or rummage sale. The multiple conceptual layers aren't necessary, exactly, but they do add some value to the reading experience, enhancing the timeless quality of Koford's cute, lovingly drawn little cartoons.

Neat. I might just get a copy.
