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).

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.

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.

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

That is a gorgeous looking car.

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.

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.

Australia, what is the deal? Sharks in the STREETS.

We have sharks on the street in NYC, too: [link]

I have discovered that, although I hate most preparations of brussels sprouts, I love them when they're cut in quarters, tossed with olive oil and salt, and roasted until crispy. Yum.

We've been having some version of this probably at least once a week this winter. SO GOOD. I never knew I loved brussels sprouts!

and also I could eat spinach, feta, and olives every day of the week, although I don't.

I am as Jesse and JZ in this. Just about anything is improved with olives.

Man, I wish I'd slept better last night.

Eee!
