I stayed up way too late last night for no real reason, and so it's completely my fault that I am too cranky to live. It's just -- woke up late, sidewalk made of ice, some dude sat next to me on the bus and made me sit funny all the way to work to accommodate his dumbass broad shoulders, people keep getting in my way and stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, and if ONE MORE DUDE hocks a loogie while I'm walking past him, I will TAKE HIS FACE OFF WITH A STEAK KNIFE.

God, Daisy, me too.

Why do people have to suck so very much?

if ONE MORE DUDE hocks a loogie while I'm walking past him, I will TAKE HIS FACE OFF WITH A STEAK KNIFE.

One of my best friends has some sort of sinus issues and she does this all the freaking time. I understand there are medical issues, but it doesn't stop me from walking in front of her like I don't know her.

Great headline in Modern Mechanix:

Death Ray Effective On Snakes (Aug, 1936)

A DEATH ray which proved its effectiveness before a San Francisco jury has been developed by Henry Fleur, Pacific Coast inventor. The apparatus which employs a light beam impregnated with infra-red rays successfully killed a snake in 8-1/2 minutes. A lizard was put to death in less than 6 minutes with only 30 seconds required to kill certain termites. Mounted on an adjustable tripod, ray can be aimed at objects in the same manner as a searchlight. The beam transmits a stream of high frequency vibrations.

Of course, you'd have to prevent the snake from escaping during that 8 1/2 minutes....

My head is throbbing intermittently, and I've about convinced myself that I have head cancer.

I am so very tired right now. I have no idea how I'll make it through the rest of the afternoon. I'm trying not to have more coffee.

I need a weekend from my weekend. Or at least to go back in time and choose not to go to a Korean karaoke joint until 5 a.m. Friday.

I am having a second lunch. I am not sure what that is all about.

me too, msbelle. In my case, it's because free leftover pizza appeared after I finished my lunch from home.

I've just put rice in the steamer. I'm making fresh rice to make fried rice with my left over Beef in Garlic Sauce from last week.

My living room is almost 60 degrees! That triumph of heating is because it's like 28 degrees outside. (Warmer than predicted.)

And my cat Ivan wanders around the apartment, then comes back to me to snuggle and get warm and snack on my wool sweater. (Weirdo. He likes to eat hair - his own, the other cat's, mine or the random sheep that provided the wool in the sweater.)

Oh, and I meant to post this: PBS is going to split Masterpiece Theatre into 3 different shows with three different hosts: Classics, Mystery! and Contemporary. Gillian Anderson is going to host the Classics part.
