Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just get caffeine pills, Cash. They get absorbed pretty fast.

I had a long and elaborate dream about preparing for an alien invasion, plus then tracking on a map as media outlets cut out and not being able to reach anybody on B.Org on the West Coast!

The fact that I'm having a lousy job hunt has probably got nothing to do with the dream subject matter/angst... right?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Ugh. Timlies and gronklies. Going on day 7 of the summer cold o' doom. I swear I've thought this thing was done 2 or 3 times now, but the symptoms keep coming back with friends. Started in the throat/chest with a sore throat and hacking cough. (though I now suspect that my CPAP machine may have been the culprit for the rapid onset - I think it took all the crap that was forming in my head, loosened it, and pushed it south in concentrated form). That faded a bit, then it came back with sinus congestion (but clear nasal passages). That faded a bit too. Both of those came back, this time with the nasal passages clogged (oh, and there was a fever in there somewhere as well, but Mr. Fever seems to have left the party for good - I'll take my small bleesings where I can get them). Faded again, then everything but the fever came back, and this time my ears feel clogged up. Kinda faded again.

And then, on top of everything else still lingering, this morning's winner in the "what fresh hell is this?" saga - my right eyelid was somewhat stuck together this morning when I woke up. Intiate panic mode.

So far no massive reddening of the eye that I can see, and it wasn't so stuck that I had to pry it open, nor does there seem to be any gunk accumulating now, but still pink eye/conjunctivitis would be just so of the suck on top of everything else I can't even process right now. I'm breaking down and making an appointment. I never go to my doctor for anything as mundane as a cold, but it's not fighting fair at this point.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Am I in the right place for the "Holy shit, Alberto Gonzalez is resigning" party?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Am I in the right place for the "Holy shit, Alberto Gonzalez is resigning" party?

Dude, really!!! Best Monday news ever!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Holy shit!!

Suddenly not feeling so bad. Heh, and Stewart and Colbert just went on vacation for two weeks. Coincidence, or not? The only way I'm going to be able to stomach Shrub's inevitable "Heckuva job, Gonzo" sendoff speech (with medal, or will he wait and do that later?) is through their filter.

Huh! And not an hour ago, I took my morning scan of Google News and there was no mention. About goddamn time, is all I can say about it.

Apparently everyone was still denying it yesterday. The NY Times broke it this morning.

I have a Coke chilling in the freezer. I can accomplish nothing until it's cold enough to drink. Need the caffeine to battle the gronk.
