grinding the nosestone

Sleeve's back at the University, having taken on too many credits with too few minutes free in a week, as expected. Thus, this little relatively frantic blogging period may end or get question marked anyway. I'll try to dribble herein little bits of academic idiocy I believe warrant admission--such as the following, assigned for a class on the history of psychoanalysis:

It is well known that gastric pains occur especially often in those who masturbate. According to a personal communication made to me by Wilhelm Fliess, it is precisely gastralgias of this character which can be interrupted by an application of cocaine to the "gastric spot" discovered by him in the nose, and which can be cured by the cauterization of the same spot.

--Sigmund Freud, Fragment of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria ("Dora")

Gesundheit! and cheers, sweet everyone.

    Fantastic discovery, Sleeve! Perhaps a small application would aid in the cure of my chronic hypochondriacitis (which has nothing to do with my hysterical condition, of course).

    And cheers to you for embarking on another quarter of higher education!

    With much love.... oomingmak
