Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The death-ray shot is quite something, but the corrected one is hardly reassuring, which is what was supposed to be going on according to the caption.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anyway, throwing banana peels was definitely below my dignity. I was a very dignified child.

I am reminded of the picture of the young, disconsolate, jealous flea at the arrival of the baby nuttykin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just called to cancel my physical therapy appointment (the pharmacist informed that I'd already committed a drug interaction no-no and couldn't take any more of my migraine meds, so it's narcotics or muscle relaxants from here on in, and I still can't drive) and sounded so pathetic to myself I almost started to cry on the phone.

I'm so fucking beat, man. And I have a work call in fifteen minutes.

About that Condi picture. Sure, she looks like Gollum in dominatrix gear on a good day, but who the hell thought the "cleaned up" picture was an improvement? It was an editorial choice in and of itself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, ita, poor thing. Migraines that won't quit (and keep coming back) are horrendous.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was wondering what Msbelle just asked.

If I weren't at work and/or 500+ miles away, I would take you.

I wouldn't take her, I'd go take care of her. she needs to stay not moving for a while.

Nah, but there's nothing anyone can do.

I'm going to pretend to be conscious on this call, and then just go to sleep. Hopefully I've taken the muscle relaxant early enough that I won't have a hangover tomorrow.

But I haveHAVEhave to be on this call. It's part of the whole come to Jesus talk I had with my manager last week. I don't have to be useful, but I do have to show up. And hopefully stay awake.

I did get a decent amount of work done from home today. Especially considering. So I'm printing the required docs to PDF, loading them onto the Powerbook, and attending this meeting from bed.

I suggest an icepack on the forehead as well, ita.
