I don't have a migraine this morning! It's very exciting.
YAY
I'm watching a pilot land a jet at O'Hare without any nosegear.
YAY for good pilots.
I am also up too early, but I think I shall be going back to sleep at 7:03, rather than trying to do anything.
eta: ita, you said that Pesto makes your head hurt. Any chance you could be allergic to basil or pine nuts? I am pretty sure I am.
Wow, I just watched that video Tom. That was some smooth landing. Well done.
Perkins, you ARE up too early. I emailed you though.
Perkins, give it time. Pretty soon you'll be able to wake up 5 minutes before the appointed time and be back to bed within 10 minutes!
I think so, Sarameg. I am pretty good about the afterwards part already, but need to work on the before part.
How is your AC doing?
Nora, back flung.
Does getting massages count as a hobby? I could totally take that up.
That does sound like an excellent plan. Or how about watercolors? I don't remember them having any smell. Of course I could be wrong. Ooh! Colored pencils!

Not sure. I have developed a strange sensitivity to olive oil--it's okay in small quantities, but when there's enough that it's really part of the flavour, it makes my head hurt. So I'd been writing it off as that.
Wait--definitely not allergic to basil. Allergic to pine nuts would be okay, since pesto's the only time I encounter them.
Also, re: sleep and shots, listen to sarameg. She's a pro.
Colored pencils!
Nice idea! I can easily factor in collecting as well as using.
Stonehenge pocket-watch predicts solstices
This amazing Stonehenge pocket-watch lets you "tell time like a Druid" by aligning the miniature circle of stones using a built-in compass and then looking at the shadows. As a bonus, it also predicts the winter and summer solstices.
Huh. "I tell time like a Druid" might be a good line for an online dating profile....
Are those stones in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
