hi smonster!! I'm procrastinating work. It's almost 2pm here and I have yet to open my work email today. There could be urgent explosive things, and I wouldn't even know.

Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Droughts are never fun. Our snow totals are looking relatively good for now. However, the inversion season is coming, where there are no storms and the gunk builds up in the air. Better check the date on my inhaler.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Skimmed then skipped. You know.
It's what we do.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I skipped, I skimmed, and now I'm posting and running. Just wanted to say hi and that I miss being here.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Arrrgh.
I looked for Afghan Whigs "Faded" live versions in YouTube, and it brought a Dr. Who fan vid. So I thought, "cool!", and clicked.
And it had spoilers in that. Of course I stopped immediately, but man. So not cool.

I wish I had a camera here, my desk looks like a poor man's country music album: I've got my watch off and laying on the desk next to a half-empty bottle of diet Coke and some dollar bills and change I pulled out of my pocket. My car keys are just out of easy picture blocking range.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And I won't mention that on Friday, when it's supposed to be 18°, I leave for a long weekend in SF, where it's in the 60s.
::shakes fist::
Yeah, it's supposed to be 82 here in Pasadena today.
::gnashes teeth::
It's 80 here today in LA, and I think it was even warmer than that a couple days ago. Which is a marked increase from a week ago. It's quite freaky.
::weeps::
I wish it were cooler.
::evil eye::
In truth, it's a bit hot for my tastes, I like it around 70.
::shakes fist [ineffectually] again::
ION, and in some tiny consolation for freezing my bits off, the LUSH store I visited at lunch was trying to move their stock, and they were selling all their soaps at buy one, get TWO free. Nice!
I am now well-armed for showers for the forseeable future.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks to Jilli I am now coveting some BPAL scents: Chocolate and burnt caramel, and Deep In Earth, which is described as:
Rose geranium, Spanish moss, Irish yew, and graveyard dirt
I love the smell of dirt.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I hate to be a pest, I know conversation went to more important things - peace in the Middle East. But does anyone have any opinions on my sore throat with the swollen tonsils being related to exposure to the extreme cold? I know I should probably go to the clinic, but I'm so over paying $150 to see the NP for a sore throat. Especially if the real answer is for me to figure out a way to protect my nose and mouth from cold air without fogging up my glasses.
Incidentally, Walmart does not have any face mask hats.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I don't know, Andi. I've had some sore throats that I directly related to the extremely dry air. Have you tried some saline nasal spray? Sometimes, moistening up your nasal passages helps the back of the throat. What you're looking for is a neck gaiter. You can get cheap ones at Menards. You'll still need a hat but they're great for pulling up over the lower part of your face to keep warm.
