I learned a lesson today. If you worked with jalapenos and handled them barehanded, it doesn't matter how much you've washed your hands, for the next 5 hours, do not put your fingers near your eyes because you will regret it.
Aw, poor Kat.
Just watched part one of Himalaya and would like to announce that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michael Palin. Again. As always. Okay, I never stopped.
How about a casual boyfriend, one who's lots of fun, and always there when you call but not pining when you don't?
Ooh, I'd take one of those!
Me too!
me three!
Yeah, so, I know I'm a little late to the party, but whoever's got this list, please add me.
I've never heard of such a first day. It's one for the books.
Um, so, the revivification of dogs... and they're expecting to test the procedure on humans. That's for real? Because, I will happily add a "NO ZOMBIFICATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" clause to my living will. Just like that, in asscaps.
Msbelle's new job sounds a lot like mine.
I got paid the first week I was in the Menlo Park office, they give us lunch twice a week, and there is always fresh fruit around, plus sometimes breakfast stuff like english muffins and yogurt.
FYI, if you wear rubber gloves when working with peppers, best to just throw them out afterwards, but it will save your hands.
ok, me to bed. hopefully, I'll be checking in tomorrow with another good report.
Robin, where is that being broadcast? I've enjoyed his travel documentaries so very much, and I don't want to miss this one!
On the Travel channel.

Where were you to help me 3 hours ago?
Tailless Gibralter Monkeys!
GIBRALTAR - Legend has it that as long as the Barbary apes roam the rock of Gibraltar, the territory will remain safely under British rule.
The British have embraced this particular piece of folklore for centuries; not even Churchill, in the throes of World War II, dared to disregard it. In 1944, with British morale battered by the war and the Rock's monkey population dwindling, he took no chances. He ordered a shipment of Barbary macaques from Morocco, a short hop across the strait.
Little did Churchill envision how big the monkey population would grow, nor the shenanigans that would come along with it.
Monkey shenanigans are the best kind of shenanigans.
eta:
One of their favorite tricks is swiping ice cream cones from children, leaving behind a trail of crumbs and tears. (Not surprisingly, the monkeys now suffer from tooth decay.).
Nobody is supposed to feed or touch the monkeys, which carries a fine of nearly $1,000.
Oops, and just under the wire on my coast...
Happy Birthday, JZ!
