The rooster story makes me feel better about the world. I was gonna say that the live rooster doesn't usually stay live in the curse-removal process, but now I'd prefer to think they do- just hanging out with you eating up evil as if it were bugs.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wouldn't say no to curse-removal with a side of coq au vin, personally.

Stuff you don't hear at the office every day, but that I am getting used to: coworker R comes back to the cube next to mine, and says, "L., Emilio Estevez wants to talk to you." L.: "Seriously? He doesn't know my name!" R: "He asked for you by name."

Ha, he had a copyright question! L. is our intellectual property librarian. She came back like, "Doesn't he have lawyers??"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
flea, that's cool!
Glad y'all liked the rooster tale.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That is a great rooster story.
Oh, no, David. That's when I'd say, "screw it," pop an anti-inflammatory of some kind, go to bed, and hope Thursday behaves a little better.
That is indeed what I did, taking the max allowed ibuprofen.
You need a live rooster to take the curse off you.
As it happens ibuprofen and the over-hot pad worked wonders. I am pleased to report that I don't think I need hip replacement surgery at age 55.
However, now my phone is dead. Maybe I should look into that rooster.

Scola's on his way out there now, right? Please don't give him the plague.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I need to get up and do things, but I'm sucked into an episode of Pit Bulls and Parolees.

Probably still an option, depending on the curse. And the rooster.
ETA I am actually taking a sick day today. Sinus headache or whatever this is is kicking my ass, and I've got my work winter party tomorrow night, Hafla on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday, so I need to recover tout suite.
