I'm another one working today. I told a friend I'd go to her place for a party tonight, but, of course, we're supposed to get some snow tonight. However, I can't bail on the party, since I bailed on her Christmas party earlier this month. Oh, well, I just have to hope for not too much snow and that they plow Sheridan Road so I can head down to East Rogers Park for the party.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

My girlfriend dragged me into a "sex show" bar down in Tijuana just so we could say we had done it. I think I was just over 18 at the time...was not impressed. The performer was mud ugly and all the hookers by the door were glaring at us.

I has a burrito with extra spicy salsa. Now I can only hope that I don't have a massive sneeze attack while eating it.

I have a South Beach Frozen dinner. They're really not bad, and I can feel virtuous about eating lots of vegetables.
My mom is on a sort of modified Atkins diet, where it's low-carb but also low fat. She's lost 30-something pounds, which is very exciting. I'm tempted to try it, but oh, the deprivation! No bread, no potatoes, no sugar of any kind. No beans! No oatmeal! No Luna bars! No whole-wheat couscous!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
OK, that was hysterical.
I'm picturing shrift eating a burrito at a Tijuana sex show and being glared at by hookers.

I have never been to Tijuana or a live sex show.
I have been glared at by hookers.

Losing 30-something pounds does sound exciting! However, I don't think it would be practical for me to try. I cannot live without the tasty potato. It would be an Atkins exercise in futility.

I know. She tells me the whole thing about how you stop craving things and you feel full with less food and you have more energy, but I think it's a myth, like those endorphins you supposedly get from exercising.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Shit - Does anyone have the recipe for the CI spice cake? I want to make it for NYE, but of course the original link has expired.
[eta: nevermind, I found it. Apparently I emailed it to ita a few months ago when she asked the same question.]

The only time I stop craving things is when I'm horribly ill. I'd rather not associate mealtimes with deathtimes!
I think "smaller portions" + "more exercise" - "snacking" = "slightly more feasible for me".
