How manly am I?
I notice it didn't ask if I knew how to run a Wing T defense...
I just fell again. This is very tedious. At least it was a quasi-directed fall, so I only hit my neck and not my head (I fell in the foot between my shower's glass door and the counter of my sink, so odds were not on my side).
I think that's a sign I should go into the office before any other mishaps hap.
Damn. Try not to break that noggin of yours, OK?
Good Lord, ita! yikes. Is the air quality affecting you?
Not so manly. But not filled with caring about it either.
Headline of the day?
Elephants electrocuted in drunken rampage
GAUHATI, India - Six Asiatic wild elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking rice beer in India's remote northeast, a wildlife official said Tuesday.
Nearly 40 elephants came to a village on Friday looking for food. Some found beer, which farmers ferment and keep in plastic and tin drums in their huts, said Sunil Kumar, a state wildlife official.
They got drunk, uprooted a utility pole carrying power lines and were electrocuted in Chandan Nukat, a village nearly 150 miles west of Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya state, Kumar said.
"There would have been more casualties had the villagers not chased them away," said Dipu Mark, a local conservationist.
The elephants are known to have a taste for rice beer brewed by tribal communities in India's northeast. Four wild elephants died in similar circumstances in the region three years ago.
ita, please to come to Ireland where I can keep you safe and feed you tea.
Is the air quality affecting you?
Oddly enough, the air was redolent of jasmine last night. You can tell something's up here, but I'm sure we have the least of it in the SoCal area--closish to the water, but not that near to Malibu or San Diego.
This fainting/collapsing thing is for the birds. How can I be manly if I keep swooning?

Now, somehow tea just makes the offer.
