You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay Perkins! Yay productivity! Yay kale chips!

I have fizzled, as I do pretty much every day after Onerous day. And I have onerous task hangover! I mean, carryover.

Okay. The dog is asking to be taken out. I shall use that as an excuse to launch me into further productivity. Avaunt!

Yay, Perkins!

My cold is so horrendous that I counted getting dressed and going to the grocery store my onerous task for yesterday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks all!!

I was thinking of doing some FCM to help pass time but I honestly can't think of any. I blame the bendryl.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was thinking of doing some FCM to help pass time but I honestly can't think of any. I blame the bendryl.

FCM: Benadryl, Sudafed, Ibuprofen

t edit Obviously, I've worked WAY too long today, because my brain is filled with pharmacy.

F: ibuprofen (only because I *have* to marry sudafed -- there are other antiinflammatories out there, but only one decongestant that works for my nasty sinuses)
C: benadryl (because there are other antihistamines out there)
M: sudafed (as long as it's the behind-the-counter stuff)

Compassionately intolerant

F: sudafed (makes me feel dirty)

C: Ibuprofen (makes me feel awful)

M: benadryl (gives me peaceful sleep)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

WHOOOOOOOO LAST CHEMO!!! Sorry I couldn't make it down there, dear.

FCM: Benadryl, Sudafed, Ibuprofen

C: Sudafed, for it makes me act like a crackhead. F: Benadryl, for it does clear me up for 4 hours at a stretch. M: Ibuprofen, you sweet, sweet drug, you.

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

This waste treatment plant is also a ski slope, with lasers

If you're going to build a giant waste incinerator, you might as well design it so that people can ski down its sides. Oh, and you should also make it blow smoke rings, and then shoot those smoke rings with lasers.

This crazy building is basically just a giant shell that Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group is planning on wrapping around a new waste incinerator in Copenhagen that'll turn garbage into energy. Instead of an industrial eyesore, the plant will become a year-round ski park, with everything from a bunny slope to a black diamond run. An elevator will take people from the bottom to the top, and the rest of the complex will form a park and recreation area.

Meanwhile, waste will continue to be turned into energy inside the plant, but instead of just belching out clouds of noxious smoke, a special system on the roof will release huge smoke rings whenever the plant generates another ton of CO2. At night, a heat-seeking laser system will paint the smoke rings with light, either making pretty pictures or using the rings to display pie charts showing the quota of CO2.
