It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That reminds me. I've had this tag for forever. And like four times last night I heard a 30 Rock quote I wanted to tag. But I wanted to mention that in case it seemed I suddenly changed it for some sinister reason.

Anyone interested in talking AI? I saw the last ten minutes of the results show last night, and "I shouldn't have scatted...America doesn't like jazz" was funny. But I totally think that trying to cover Nina Simone should get people kicked off just cuz. I mean, I gotta hear substandard Feelin Goods four times in a week? I need to play the Simone version six or seven times to get them out of my head!

I had to go Google David Hewlett, because I knew for sure that you all were not that deeply involved in printer manufacturing.

No, I don't have cable.

I'd love to be watching American Idol, but I can't. I just Youtube the ones people say are good. Which means I've been earwormed with "And I am telling you" for the last week, but at least a good version is in my head.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

David Hewlett could make printers if he wanted to. He's just that cool.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You know what finally cured them? DUCT TAPE.

I am trying to picture this, and... what is it about the duct tape that does the trick? Do you tape your feet to the floor so you'll never see those warts again?

signed, is only so creative with duct tape.

You put the duct tape over the warts. You change it every day. The warts die. It works. Nobody is sure why. The body is weird. (Or: Duct tape is awesome.)

I hope neither of you had any plans to blow up the world today, because I'm pretty sure it's my turn.

The planet buster is all yours. My towering rage has been downgraded to mild aggravation, mostly because the wind is turning the snow into an ice whip, and I'm actually too busy to write porn at work today.

I did end up getting that (small!) cup of soup--it was pasta e fagioli, very rich with all the pureed beans, and veeerrrry filling. I'm now stuffed!

I also bought a package of cashews and put them in my desk for next week, since I don't see me needing them today. Those are also going on the shopping list. Oh, and I'm tossing out the box of instant oatmeal envelopes that I bought for the desk last spring and hardly ever used--they have too much sugar in them to be any good to me.

From what I've read, the effect of duct tape is indirect. The adhesive in the tape irritates the wart, which changes the wart in a way that makes it easier for the body to recognize it as an intruder and destroy it. In any case, there are very good studies showing that it works for common warts.
