Zane Benefits–the company I work for, and have worked for since its founding in Spring 2006–has made front-page news in the Wall Street Journal.

As many of you may know, I don’t get television in my house.  There’s just not enough good material on cable TV to warrant $15-45/mo.  Instead, I pay $17/mo for a Blockbuster DVD subscription (like Netflix).  The DVDs work out great, since they’re mostly movies, and we have a projector with a 108″ screen (mine) and a nice Boston Acoustics/Onkyo surround sound system (Tom’s) to enjoy them on.

The problem is, Tom and I have pretty much run out of movies we wanted to watch.  So I started renting seasons of TV series.  Having just finished a series of my choosing, Arrested Development (AWESOME, by the way), we moved on to one of Tom’s favorites.

Pool water in my brain

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Last night I went to a party at Lee Daniels’s house.  I had lots of fun in the swimming pool in particular.  He had the greatest pool toys ever–foam noodles that concealed pump-action water bazookas.  The bad news is that I was shot in the ear.  Ever since then, my left ear has felt and sounded like it has an earplug in it.  After a few hours, it was really bothering me that it wasn’t clearing out like my other ear.

I didn’t sleep much at all last night; I just rolled over and over and shook my head around and banged it against my pillow trying to clear something out of there.  Now it’s the next morning and I’m still at about 40% volume in the let ear.  Any advice from my loyal readership?
