Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Do you KNOW how many calories are in that?!?"

"Do you KNOW that's considered a rude question?"

Seriously. I think "treat him like your toddler" might be in order for him and Hil's office mate. No explaination, no discussion, and if they do it again just tell them its rude. If they want to make an issue of it to some higher authority let them try.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Argh. I am having no appetite control. My stupid body thinks that it is hungry ALL THE TIME. I need better snacking options. I am making hummus tonight, I think.

However, I am walking quite a bit. And I am getting a hand-me-down bike this weekend, so I'm making it a goal to ride 30 miles a week in addition to walking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Man, real FBI badges are so much more boring than the ones you see on TV.

Might be due to the increased exercise- the body is pretty determined to acquire all the fuel it needs.

I go through periods of just always being hungry. then I go to just not being all that interested in food for a bit. It varies according to life stress, situations, and amount of exercise.

Is anyone else having a fantasy of having Hil's office mate and adviser trapped in an elevator with Steph's Chatty!Coworker?

Apparently my body decided it was sick after all and gave me a strange flu-like disease. I felt more or less fine yesterday, except for also being ravenously hungry. Then yesterday afternoon I had a half-hour sneezing fit. By 10 I'd lost my voice and now I have lungs full of crap that I'm coughing up with occasional deep coughs, but I'm otherwise starting to feel better. WTF?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sounds like things are behaving better,Steph -- if not getting all better.

I have a co-worker that i very hard -working and basically nice. But ... some things are completely beyond her. Th biggest thing is that she eats very well, exercises, and is very healthy. Some one donated a book - sit and be fit-type of book. She was all "that's not exercise". Even after things were explained ( yes some people can't stand for long periods of time )she was skeptical. She is the food questioner. Luckily, I know a lot about food. -- so she gets lectures when she asks me questions.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The cable was out for two hours this morning and I feel like I've survived an amputation...that ain't right, huh? No.

If the internet is out for, like, 30 seconds, I FLIP OUT like a mammal.

Last time we lost power -- I was out of the house in 15 min -- looking for free wireless.

When I get those inexplicable needs to just eat and eat and eat -- I try to make sure there is a lot of good for me food in the house. At least I get nutrition.
