sara's hood likes carrots!

I just drank Theraflu. It STILL tastes like ass. Let's hope it works.

It's better with a shot of whisky.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Interesting chart of price per calorie of a bunch of different foods. [link] It's kind of a weird selection of foods, though -- lots of candy and junk food, and there are a bunch of fresh fruits and vegetables on the chart as just fruits and vegetables, but most of the meat is there as ingredients -- a cheeseburger and chili.

I can't taste anything. I can only notice that things are spicy. But because I can't actually breathe, nothing has any taste beyond the most bitter medicinal taste (or the most painful salsa hot taste).

A shot of whisky would have helped. But I think a flexeril will work as well.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Kat, breathing is good. I think you should do that.

I am cranky mccrankypants tonight. A friend called and he's trying to get together with me but will not give me firm plans. This is someone who I gave up trying to get together with over a year ago because he either cancelled at the last minute or wouldn't commit to anything in advance. He's also notorious for calling 10 minutes before he'd like to get together. And then gets surprised when I'm not available. And, it's not like he lives down the block. He lives an hour away. Planning is kind of necessary.

Tonight he sounded pissy that I wouldn't commit to just dropping by and seeing if he's available this week. Look, mister, we live an hour apart. Just dropping by is not a good use of my time. I told him I couldn't do that and he needed to give me a specific day and time and I'd see if I was free. He literally could not do it.

I don't know why this is bugging me so much. It's totally status quo.

Sorry for the rant. Carry on.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hivemind question: Does anyone know how to repair some salt-damaged Uggs? There is some shrinkage and some staining on the instep.

Based on the advice of a shoe-store owner, I have stuffed the boots with wadded up newspaper and soaked them with a mixture of vinegar & water and brushed them clean.

Not sure if I should get a shoe tree to try to stretch out the nubuck.

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