Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Allergies are definitely part of it. My sinuses hate pretty much every plant and animal on the planet, and wage war against them all by swelling up into a solid impenetrable mass that effectively turns all my facial cavities into concrete. Throbbing concrete.

But I'm (spoilerfont for grossness) hacking up multicolored globs, so there's some kind of actual bug in the mix too.

Good times!

Ugh, JZ. Feel better.

Speaking of weird and unsavory, if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.

Yeah, that's not disturbing at all.

JZ, I hope you feel better soon.

JZ, does a neti pot help? I know it's not a magic cure-all, but adding it to the mix might help.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.

Studies indicate that it works, but they don't know why it works yet. I'll holding off a while before I start farming young people, but the clock's ticking.

FFS, I cannot attend your goddamned meeting if you don't send me a goddamned password. I am not driving over there with 5 minutes notice.

I am in a meeting which largely consists of me saying "Uh-huh" to my coworker. Other mover is due any second.

Holy hell. After a fight with my DW about my AM gym going and my insistence that I was going this morning (the fight is too stupid to recount), I get to the gym at 5:30 to swim. I put on my suit and grab my stuff and realize I FORGOT MY STUPID GOGGLES. So I go to the pool deck to check lost and found (they had a pair in toddler size). Back to the locker room where I decide to shower. Then getting dressed, the goggles are tangled up with my bra.

ARGH!!!
