A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Do you have a fever, DJ?

I did. It broke earlier. I'm going to check in a minute to make sure it's not back.

I'm sure I caught this at the office because just about everyone was out with it last week.

My brother and the boys have had the flu that's going around. Basically a week of fever & the accompanying ick that entails. Doctor has pretty much said fluids, tylenol/advil and sleep a lot.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

sleep a lot

the one thing I can't do when I'm sick. I swear half the reason I get so grumpy when I'm sick is because I'm not sleeping.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That sucks. Sleeping a lot is my favorite part of being sick. (OK, maybe "favorite" isn't the right word....)

If I'm running even a slight temp, I tend to feel very twitchy. I can't really descibe it better- it's just this feeling that something is wrong to the point where I have to get up and move around or find something, anything to distract me.

Um. I can only find the Rodrick's column commenting on the firing in google's cache:

that is very interesting...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I had the fever for two weeks a few years ago, I kept randomly falling asleep, which is so unlike me, I can't even tell you. I had to take a quick nap in the middle of my parents' Christmas party.

I was at a seminar thing all day, and you guys, I did so well with the food! Things I did not eat: pastries for breakfast, baked ziti at lunch, rolls and crackers also at lunch, cookies and lemon bars for dessert. Things I did eat: salad, cheese, and chicken. And I was satisfied! And didn't feel gross after like I usually do after these things.

Ropa vieja with avocado and tomatoes for dinner.

Aw, thanks for the Stewart/Colbert/O'Brien brawl footage, they're so damn cute and enjoying themselves so very much.

Who needs a personal chef when you can get a 4-in-1 hot dog maker?

This bad boy can steam hotdogs, boil eggs, and make popcorn all in the same device. It's amazing. And since it steams your dogs with no oil or fat, it's "healthier" than normal cooking, although I know few ways of cooking hot dogs that require oil or fat. But hey, for a mere $30 how can you go wrong?
