You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Logic isn't so much driving my tugboat when it comes to sharks. They activate the phobia thing.

I feel confident promising that should you ever visit Melbourne, we will be able to keep our rivers shark encounter-free.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

should you ever visit Melbourne, we will be able to keep our rivers shark encounter-free.

Or at the very least, your roadways.

I will also endeavour to maintain a distinction between our rivers and our roadways, which is more than Brisbane can promise you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

David Oyelowo, the actor from Five Days.

The actor from Spooks! His accent was brilliant. It didn't occur to me to think of a British actor, between that and the facial hair. Coolness-thanks.

Don't think I'm going into the office tomorrow morning, fuckit. Too much pain. At least my brain had the decency to give me a dream with Tom Hardy cuddling and JGL joking (Tom later turned into a Latino construction worker, but it was all good).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I take chiros with a grain of salt, erin--they seem to think they can solve everything from sinus problems to diabetes.

Yeah, they definitely think that. I know a chiropractor, and once he felt the back of my head and told me I have digestion problems. But then he did some magic on my neck that felt great! No change in my stomach, though.

hwæt

There was an accident on the BQE this morning, and I was woken up by a traffic helicopter that was hovering over my neighborhood at 6:30am. Motherfuckers.

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

I was woken up by a traffic helicopter that was hovering over my neighborhood at 6:30am.

I hate that. Helicopters need more power and make more noise when they hover at altitude....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It looks like I may get my crack at Prince after all [link] The artist formerly known as formerly known as Prince will be playing at the place formerly known as Reunion arena near where I work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I take chiros with a grain of salt, erin--they seem to think they can solve everything from sinus problems to diabetes. Which I think is a big load of bullshit.

Definitely this - there's a LOT in chiropractic that's dangerously pseudoscientific but if you can find one who limits their practice to solving actual back problems there are chiros who follow good evidence-based medical standards.

For neck pain, you should also be aware that there is a small but real risk of stroke from neck manipulation.
