Speaking of fires, they just reported the following here, with a lead-in on how karma can be a bitch: A guy was burning leaves in his yard, and somehow caught a mouse. Being a complete and utter jackass, he threw the mouse into the fire (WTF!?!).

Mouse escapes from the fire, all wrapped up in burning leaves, runs into the house, and burns the damn thing to the ground.

Sue, this is weird because I put all my vitamins in one of those day of the week/time of day pill cases last night and I'm going to try to start taking them again every day so I can maybe get some energy.

I've been doing this since October. Except I take too many for one of those pill of the week things.

I love that story so much! Go Mickey!

I need to take all my nutritional supplements. I really do. I'm so slack about it. Anything that can't be taken just once before I leave in the morning...and even then.

I'm eating like crap again, so I need all the help I can get. I am so damned bad at taking care of myself.

But I will have to check into the smoke alarm thing. My house still smells of bacon, after opening all the windows and doors and running the fan (the fan's been running all night). It's totally in character for me to space like that (I really shouldn't leave the kitchen when cooking), but usually I get warned sooner!

That mouse story is hysterical. Serves the dumbfuck right.

Okay, let me go make some tea so I can wash down the million pills.

Throwing a live mouse on a fire is terribly cruel and really pretty sick, but it probably still ended with roasted mouse, and firefighters endangering themselves to battle the fire, and at the end, people were out a home.

It looks like it happened in New Mexico (although the Chicago Trib is covering it). The guy is 81. He lost everything.

That is exactly why I have to bring mine to work, otherwise they never get taken. I've noticed a difference since I've started taking them, which helps with the continued taking of them. Also since I've spent $200+ on supplements, I have the added incentive of not wanting to waste my money.

Sometimes that happens when you do a stupid thing.

I hate taking a bunch of pills. Makes me feel infirm. Except I am. So I guess I hate being reminded of my infirmity.

I still haven't taken mine yet. Right now. Will go right now.

I'm teetering on the edge of a cold. I'd rather it go away.

Take pills.

I just bought albums for the first time on iTunes. Why is that scary?
