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.

Mystery! is a separate show, isn't it?

eta: well, sort of. Anyway, it is the same Mystery referenced in the article. So it is basically 2 new distinct categories.

I cleaned out my wallet to pay for my lunch at the cafeteria today, and still shorted them by eleven cents. Oh, well, I'll pick up some cash at the grocery store tonight and pay them back later this week.

I'm taking tomorrow off to head down to my dad's near Joliet and will probably run into the sleet/rain/snow storm that's supposed to start overnight. Damn.

Here's hoping that at least the elevator at my apartment building is working by now--they shut it down on Saturday due to severe shuddering and noise-making issues, but the management people don't know if it's been fixed yet (they saw the repairman's van earlier, but he never called to tell them the status). At least I'm only on the third floor, but I'd rather use the elevator when I have to schlep my groceries home tonight and do laundry later this week.
