I HAZ HAWT WATUR!

Or whatever that form is. The wasteful person I am, I took a shower so I could finally shave.

I also got my credit card bill and nearly had a heart attack until I realized there was a trip in there, cat checkup and the dentist visits.

My brother goes by the diminuative (? Just the first syllable) of his name. He really doesn't care to use the whole thing. But he's adamant about his sons' names not being nicked or shortened. Which I do, but not to them, and usually only in writing.

But do they poop it?

Supposedly not, but since there's no video documentation of their work, who knows what the fuck they're really doing....

who knows what the fuck they're really doing....

I hope they're not doing that. Though, having had the civet coffee, I guess I've plumbed the fauna depths.

Just found an old schoolmate on Facebook.

The girls from ita's British HS she's found again:

• Political reporter for the Daily Telegraph
• Tantric sex instructor
• Con artist jailed after stealing millions of £s
• Writer of a sex blog

I feel both straight-laced and under-achieving.

Cash, I might take Liv off your hands anyway, because she's pretty cute. But I think to drive my sister properly to despair it has to be a blood relative of hers.

And I'm about nothing if I'm not about proper despair.

Do Tums leave a strange aftertaste? I can't work out what to blame, and without blame I can get no closure.

Also, next cube over needs to not play Michael Jackson I can hear tinnily. And my boss's admin needs to never say "nipply" to me again, because I'm trying to appear professional.

What kind of weird aftertaste? I always rinse my mouth after eating them.Calcium carbonate, bleah.

Hey, Aimee, here's a fun interview with Daniel Radcliffe. He apparently takes life lessons from Eddie Izzard routines and tells an interesting story about being stalked by a New York fan calling herself "Mrs. Radcliffe."

Have you been in NYC recently?

What kind of weird aftertaste?

I can't quite say. It is making my ginger ale taste a bit off. Metallic. And now I swear I smell burning wiring. I think I need to take a scent break and fill my lungs with the west side polluted sea air.

Plus I just spilt a cup of water across my desk.

Which has nothing to do with the burning smell, I'm fairly sure.

And if it does...well, I'll be outside.

I associate metallic with the various carbonates. Not sure if that is usual or not.

I actually think the Tums themselves taste quite decent. Which is why the aftertaste is surprising me. Then again, if my stomach liked me, I wouldn't be chowing down on these.

I get an aftertaste with those, too.

Cool. If it is a weird medical condition, I like the company.

Speaking of company, Yahoo bought Zimbra. I've never heard of Zimbra. My new job is making me even more out of touch with the market.

Escape plans somewhat thwarted by a cool day in LA and me working by a noisy intersection. Not exactly news to me, so I wonder how I forgot. Still outside, though.
