Woo, I cleaned up some things. Go me.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Happy first day, bon bon! May your commute be fast.
I made a turkey today. It does not taste good to me. Neither does the potato leek soup I made. Even the french bread we have is sort of wrong -- too airy. At least the amazingly good brown rice was delicious.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I forgot to mention (I think it was in Natter) that they *do* make heating vests. A motorcycle catalog will likely have one.

I have tomorrow off. Since New Year's was a Saturday, we get tomorrow off as the statutory holiday.

The status is NOT quo.
I am not warm at all. The 39 degree temp is chilly in an un-insulated house.
So much this. I'm always freezing at school and at home when the temp drops below 60, honestly. Much colder than I was when I lived I'm CT where people understand concepts like heat and insulation.
I still have 9 final exams to grade before I can go to bed and I do not want to. I also don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Whine.

Hmmm... weird. I lost half my post. But it was whining so not useful.
I boiled beets tonight. I think I'll have them with apples tomorrow.

That almost sounds like a proverb, translated from another language. Like, "One man's troubles are but fleas to his neighbor's camel." Or something.

Oh! Also, since my illness is lingering, I've watched almost all of S2 of The OC over the long weekend. I remember watching it when it first aired, but I only got about 1/3 of the way into the season, so I didn't catch any of the INSANO shit from the back part of the season. Alcoholism! People getting shot! Caleb dying!
Kinda exhausting, really. And not as good as S1.
But through both seasons, Julie Cooper is consistently AWESOME.
