I'm coming down with something.

I've felt like I have a low-grade cold for over 2 weeks now. All I want to do is sleep, and I'm slightly stuffed up/runny nose. It could be (1) fall allergies; (2) cat allergies kicking up after coming back from vacation (where I wasn't near a cat for 9 days); (3) a combination of 1 and 2; (4) a low-grade cold that won't quite get bad but also won't go away; (5) the plague; (6) alien living in my sinuses.

Not an alien! At all. Y'all start talking Gaming stuff and I get a little lost and feel boring because I don't game.

Hell, I don't even consider that word a verb.

I just verbed that word five minutes ago on the phone with my niece.

Our printer is also a scanner! Meet Arthur. He was about 4 years old (iirc) when I took this picture. The last time I saw him he was snow white. Note that he is hitched to a pallbearer's coach painted tan and brown and referred to as "the stagecoach".

Go Miami! It really doesn't matter to me, but the 'house' is cheering for Miami tonight. We all think we would rather go to FSU as students given the choice. But customers that are UM alumni have given us tickets for games for long enough that the cheering is a reflex. So, good game!

I have to go to Kinkos but I can't stop watching the Dance Your Ass Off marathon on Oxygen. I'm annoyed they're using weight as a measure of health but I love this show so much and yesterday I didn't even know it existed.

things I love: That host Marissa Jaret Winokur knows just how easy it is to dance your ass off, having struggled to keep her weight up while playing Tracy Turnblad on Broadway.

That they seem to keep the judges stored in a giant disco ball when not in use.

That it's getting harder to tell who is the contestant and who is the professional dancer.

OK I've set my DVR. Off to the copy shop.

The Miami game is a big in state rivalry but not THE rivalry.

I dunno, askye-- having lived through the late 80s/early 90s and all of the Wide Lefts and the National Championships it cost us, I'd have to say that it was the rivalry. Especially since Florida doesn't consider FSU THE rival, but rather Georgia.

One way or another, if you're a college football fan and you live in/are from Florida, you've got it pretty good. There's a lot I hate about living here, but college football makes up for a lot.

Besides mashed cauliflower, my favorite recipe is blanched cauliflower and broccoli mixed with roasted (to peel) red pepper, in a balsamic/seed mustard/olive oil, spiced to the hilt dressing. Awesome warm or cold.

Instead, I watched nearly all of SG-1 on hulu.

That was a very good plan.

We had very yummy clam chowder and a buger at a pub for dinner. Now we're trying to head home, but the traffic is terrible.
