Honestly, I hate the coughing more than the puking. Puking at least seems to arrest the coughing. Other than that bullshit, I'm actually feeling better than I have since late Friday, more coherent, less brain-coma. Which is kinda fucked, but there it is.

No snow yet. May it stay that way.
On the Baltimore weather watch and post front, I'm sorry to report, it was flurrying as I drove home about 20 minutes ago. (although I hope sarameg is asleep now and getting rid of the nasty cold!)

Hasn't hit NW B'more City yet! I'm hopeful.
Yeah, not asleep. Amazing how alert worshipping the toilet makes you. But after this post, likely closing the laptop and snuggling into my bed. With kleenex and a damned bucket.

There was a little bit coming down when I drove home. It was nice. powdery.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Mike Rowe on Jon Stewart--there's a delicious pair! And Mike brought the funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Goddamnit. I had a b.org post, and now that I'm at my computer I can't even remember what thread it was to be in.
Sara, I'm so sorry you're badly off. Are you taking Delsym?
Daybreak question: I think I sprained my brain recursively, but how does Hopper going for an MRI *inside* what would be his brain-damage-induced delusion prove anything one way or another?
Lots of fog here in LA. I wonder what the world looks like from Z&M's 16th floor ocean-facing apartment on Ocean itself. They pretty much look out onto the Santa Monica pier.
Okay. TV time, and some pills.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
heh. This was inevitable. Y'know, I'll bet a lot of guys end up with papercuts in new places next week.

ooooh? Mike Rowe as the Daily Show guest of Jon Stewart? My brain is going to sprain from the confluence of brains and character and pretty....

Our wings are not tired.
TDS is a day after event for me. It's nice that I get a preview when I read the thread in the morning.
Timelies! This whole going to the gym in the morning thing after I drop Brendon at HS means I can't drive him in my jammies anymore. Blah. The good news is that it is lighter at this hour than it was a month ago.
Snow Days for everyone! My sister may have a slow ride to work. Her town webcam [link] shows -7F. Um, much warmer here.

xkcd, how are you so awesome? Washington’s Farewell Address Translated into Everyday Speech:
Sup.
Elections are coming up, and it’s time to figure out who we wanna give the keys to. I figure it might clear things up if I take a sec to explain why I’m not running.
Now, I care about the future, don’t get me wrong, and thanks for your trust so far. I just think me quitting is a good idea on all counts.
I’ve been president twice now, and I didn’t want to do it either time. I tried to quit the first time, but the country was in trouble and every single person around me begged me to stay on.
I’m glad to say we’re pretty much in the clear now and I can get out of here without getting screamed at or letting things fall apart completely.
I told you when I started what I thought of the job. All I’m gonna say is that I did my best to set up the government right, but the more I do this the more I realize how dumb I am, and so maybe it’s okay if I let someone else take over.
It's startling how prescient Washington was.
