It's a really bad picture of an old man, if that helps too. I saw him first, but the mermaid is much more clearly representative.

My stomach hurts. Now, I know it hurts because I haven't been eating for the past weeke, but it makes it harder to eat, rather than easier. Doc said he'd pumped me so full of drugs that there was no point worrying about the lack of eating and the subsequent weight loss.

But I would like to like to eat any time soon. This past week has been pathetic.

I have a cute new neighbor. He marinaded chicken for me last night for supper.

I think he's bad news. He was wearing a ring last week, and when another neighbor inquired, he said he was separated from his wife, she hated LA, he wanted to stay to continue trying at television writing, blah blah the short story.

This week, no ring, but an obvious tan line.

Bad news.

Even single, he's bad news. Stay away from people you live with. If it doesn't work out, it's AWKWARD.

ita, I've found that when I'm sick and have little appetite, tum yum (lemongrass) soup with no meat or tofu works pretty well to sneak a bit of food in. Not super nutritious, but it's a little better than drink-type fluids.

I wish I could drink. I'm looking at my water with distaste. I swear, last night at dinner I filled up on my meds. Which reminds me, shit, I haven't had today's yet.

There is Thai near here, so I will cross my fingers for the soup.

Good luck, ita.

Seriously -- I have a friend who had to move after breaking up with the guy downstairs.

I'm assuming tum yum is the same as tom yum? Which is in fact yummy. Usually it's at least somewhat spicy.

But she wants to move ANYWAY!

Go for it. He marinated for you.

Kingdom, Phylum, Class... Meet Giant Reptilian Worm Monster

One mammoth example of an organism improperly classified by Linnaeus' ranking system is the Amphisbaenia or wormlizard, a creature resembling an earthworm but more closely related to lizards.

Ewww... don't click on the link if you might possibly think a giant worm thingie is gross....

I HAVE MY BOY LOLLIPOP STUCK IN MY HEAD. If memory serves, that's Hec's fault.

Well, took the morning meds. That's a start. Steroids really supposed to make you go off your feed? Or is it the Percoset?

Oy. I would truly like a FF button for today. Not to rush towards anything fun, mind you. Just something I want done, and I would like to stop thinking about doing.
