Complete Record of Bowel Movements (with Occasional Commentary)

I don’t think I’ve pooped in days, so now’s a great time to start a new list. I plan to update this post faithfully as necessary, which I’m sure you’re all thrilled to hear.

UPDATE 2007.07.27: I’ve decided that it’s too much of a pain in the ass to keep track of my shit. You can see that after recording 22 consecutive craps, things are going swimmingly and there’s no need for further updates.

  • 2007.07.25 - 23:20 (Type 4 followed by a bit of Type 5)
  • 2007.07.24 - 18:20 (Type 4.5)
  • 2007.07.23 - 22:10 (Type 4)
  • 2007.07.23 - 14:40 (Type 4.5)
  • 2007.07.22 - 23:20 (Perfect Type 4)
  • 2007.07.22 - 16:24 (Type 5.2)
  • 2007.07.21 - 23:20 (Type 5.4)
  • 2007.07.19 - 16:55 (Type 5.8)
  • 2007.07.18 - 23:20 (Type 5.5)
  • 2007.07.18 - 14:20 (Type 4, but not easy going)
  • 2007.07.17 - 08:15 (unsatisfying)
  • 2007.07.14 - 22:10 (recovering?)
  • 2007.07.14 - 13:40 (diarrhea)
  • 2007.07.14 - 08:15 (diarrhea)
  • 2007.07.14 - 04:50 (sick, food poisoned or Chivas/tea cocktail overdose?)
  • 2007.07.11 - 20:29
  • 2007.07.11 - 16:30
  • 2007.07.10 - 17:09
  • 2007.07.08 - 22:14
  • 2007.07.08 - 15:38
  • 2007.07.07 - 19:23
  • 2007.07.06 - 17:50

    Are you trying to lose readership like, when Bob Dylan released Nashville Skyline to try to throw off the media image of himself?

    Does this have something to do with those people who were trying to buy a post?

    Anyway, drink more water.

    @Pradeep: Thanks for the link.

    @DT: Is it obvious that the Ex-Lax people made me an offer I couldn’t refuse? ;-)

    Looks like Maoxian.com has gone to the crapper.

    […] According to her though it is incredible stuff. It gives you lots of energy, cleans your system, and full of vitamins. Guaranteed to keep you regular. Or as she puts it, ‘you will eliminate first thing in the morning’. Thankfully she doesn’t elaborate what exactly is being eliminated. […]

    Why nearly a 2 day gap in crapping?

    Tom: That’s just the way it is … start keeping a record yourself and see how it goes.

    I’m super regular, even hyper regular at times. No need to keep a poop-o-meter running.

    This reminds me of a similar venture several years ago:

    My admiration for your candor has reached new heights. To make this as scientific as possible, I suggest you use the Bristol Stool Scale to standardize your descriptions.

    Also, though I realize you’re in Beijing and not Mumbai, you may want to use your observations to help dial in your Ayurvedic type — Vatta, Pitta and Kapha. Your BM’s offer clues!

    David: Thanks for hipping me to the Bristol Stool Scale which I will print out, tack to the wall, and refer to in future updates.

    I have a date this week with my friend Shweta who may know something about Ayurveda (I’ll ask her), but on the surface it looks like a pile of shit to me. ;-)

    Kudos for adopting the Bristol. As it turns out, one of the iPhone’s many features is a built-in Bristol applet. You just smear a sample on the screen, and in a few seconds it tells you the sample’s Bristol type. If you don’t own an iPhone yet, just borrow a friend’s and try it for yourself.

    David: I thought you had to pack a little bit in the headphone jack to get an accurate reading, no?
