I drove up to Madison today to get fitted for my radiation mask. It was a little disconcerting to say the least. They put this wet plaster mesh over my face and let it dry for about 10 minutes. When they first stretched it over my face, I was almost afraid to breath because of how wet it was, but once they got it on there, it wasn't so bad. Shit's getting real folks. They want me to start radiation on the 20th. That is 5 days a week for 6 weeks I have to drive about 2 hours there, hang out for a half an hour, then drive 2 hours back. I am going to have to load my cell up with some tunes!

For those of you who have never seen a radiation mask before, this is what one looks like. It essentially holds your head completely still so they can very accurately shoot the high energy particles at a localised spot exactly the same way every time you step into the office. You can then later use the mask for your super hero rampages.
