Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who knows what could have been in there!

At a firestation? I'm guessing fireman or possibly fire fighting equipment.

Typing it out, it doesn't seem that anxiety-causing.

No. Not really.

I guess you'd have to be me.

While there are many pluses to this proposition (fantastic dancing ability, spicy brains, great tattoo) I'm going to pass on account of the baseless sign anxiety.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I am full and lethargic. I had plans to go home for lunch, and have a nice healthy grilled chicken sandwich with low fat mayo, with some nice soup. I even grilled the chicken last night. But, it's raining. And my student was here, and we decided to go get cheese pizza. Which is kind of healthy. but then, the pizza oven was broken, so we ended up getting Chik-Fil-A. I had the classic sandwich with fries. It was goooood. But now, I feel dirty.

You are a dirty girl and somebody should give you a matching butt bruise.

But let's wait to hear about brenda's lunch first and see who's got the greatest disparity between Intended Lunch and Actual Lunch today.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry to hear about so many other ick sufferers. This cold is friggin' brutal! I am so glad I stayed home today.

Isaac is being such a pill too because this is day 3 of sickness, but he has this scratchy little voice that is utterly adorable. Lucky for him. And Frances is being a super angel, kissing everybody and wiping noses and offering blankets and babydolls for support.

Somehow I need to get a bit of work done today, but I keep napping instead.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just learned I'm supposed to be on a conference call at 3. Oy. At least I should be able to get the hand-outs out of my email.

Punishingly Intricate

I just learned that my friend's 2-year old boy also fell on the ice today! He didn't yell "AIEEEFUCK" though. He said "UH OH!"

Neither of us cried. Although I REALLY wanted to.

Naps are the best thing ever.

Okay, I'm gonna go send my students their assignments.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

There are sheets of ice falling off of our house. The whole process is very loud, especially when they hit the ground. It's making me jumpy.

I'm getting a lot of work done today, but the ONE thing I absolutely needed to send out, I can't. I have no FedEx slips, and the account number is sitting on my desk in the office. Feh. I need that expense reimbursment check so I can pay off the corporate AMEX.
