Those robot cupcakes are the bomb!
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Wait, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying I should worry about the calories first, then worry about cutting out the carbs? Because I'm actually not finding it that hard to count calories.
I don't think all calories are created equal. Some foods will "last" a lot longer and help you maintain blood sugar levels. Protein is better than carbs for long term satisfaction and complex carbs are better than simple carbs. Sorry if this makes it more complicated.

Does anyone have recommendations for iPod (any mp3 player, really) earbuds that actually FIT? Apparently I have small, skinny ear canals and any round earbuds just flee in terror.
Links would be keen if anyone has earbuds they like.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tep, have you tried the sport earbuds that go over the ear, like these: [link] ? I'm completely incapable of using any plain earbuds for exactly the reason you're describing, but I love over-the-ear thingies to death.
(But please note that the above link is a stylistic illustration and isn't my actual buds, because I'm an audio imbecile who is happy with the 10-dollar drugstore kind.)

I have the same problem, plus my ears are apparently delicate flowers and so far I haven't managed to use ear anything that don't irritate the hell out of them. Even talking on a phone for a long time makes them hurt.
Ever since I drove in the pouring rain of Hanna, my car smells like something died in it. Sigh.

Ugh sarameg, I hope your week starts going better.
I first I thought Palin was a good pick, then I started to have doubts, now I'm starting to think it was an absolute home run. I think I'm too influenced by the media coverage. Maybe I need a week of ignoring it and let the convention momentum settle now. I'm becoming more pessimistic though.

Happy Birthday, Nutty!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do they sort of sit outside the ear canal, rather than snuggling into it? If I have earbuds that sit outside the ear canal, I have to crank up the volume (which is more a failure of my auditory physiology than the earbuds, I'm aware).
