I went to get my rotator cuff issue looked at last week, and the vitals nurse asked me my weight. Before I could respond, she read the weight from my last visit and said, "No way! the previous nurse obviously made a mistake. There's no WAY you weigh ______" And I was like, "yeah, I do." Nurse made me get on the scale to prove it and I was laughing. She's like "Well, damn, you wear it well. I would never have guessed."

It kind of made me happy, though it's still a little strange.

"Manbat"? "Batmanuel"? "Imthegoddamnbatman"?

Number 24 is the one that cracks me up. The dog looks like he's actually jumping up to get in the way. Hilarious!

I can't even blame being drowsy when every so often (once a month or so) I hear someone walk up behind me at work and stand next to my chair... Except noone is there. I really can't wait until we move offices next week just so that I no longer face away from the entrance of my cube.

Maybe dreams like Liese's are why some people believe they've had encounters with ghosts?

"Imthegoddamnbatman"?

That's Frank Miller's password.

My god it is brutal outside. Wind is AWFUL.

I could totally have been talked into believing I`d seen a ghost right afterward. A ghost wearing slippers and a yellow coat.

I've mostly experienced sleep paralysis, which is that sorta thing. Really pumps you into fight or flight when you snap out of it.

(I made another batch of dough. What, I got a non-Valrhona powder and need to make sure it is satisfactory!)

My neighbors and coworkers are either going to love or hate me.

Aw man, Richard Holbrooke died.
