Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

There's a large storm system moving out of the state. My joints are in agony. I did not need to know this about my shoulder, that it will, with little provocation, send shooting pains along my collarbone. I hope it's not a cyst in the end of the collarbone, like with the other shoulder. And the fingers. The bad thing about colder weather is that it hurts more.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tep, I have gotten in the habit of eating my egg salad out of half an avocado.

Nom. That was dinner last night. (Well not out of an avocado, because I like squishing up half an avocado. It's like Play Doh.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Paging billy t! Australia has a new death adder. Got bored with the old ones?

You have to worry when Australia stops messing around and says flat out "This shit will kill you."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're at the part of the summer where I need a sweater or jacket in the morning, but it's warm enough when I get out of work to wear short sleeves.

There are two kinds of trees that will kill you - the red gum tree that drops heavy branches with no warning and the ... banya (?) pine that drops 22 kilo pinecones on you.

But neither of them are called Death Tree, so no one can be that bothered by them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thought that was what Australia was saying all the time.

You know what I like better than a three-day weekend? A six-day weekend. And it starts right now.

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

Yes. Yes we are.

Also called the widowmaker, here. Australia is like unto Season 4 of 24, where the villain induces a meltdown in all of America's 100 nuclear power plants as a decoy to distract attention from his real plan. So too, our venomous fauna is really just there to ensure no one pays attention to the trees. Everyone freaks out about a little snake, while it's just The Happening down here 24/7.

You know you're not doing any favors for the Australian Tourism Board's work.
