If I blame bon, at least I think it should be short-lived. But I'm sniffling and headaching and feeling grotty like nobody's business. I need to call in.
Yeah, it never got terrible, just a sore throat. So I hope that you have the same luck!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I keep thinking homonculus from Full Metal Alchemist.
Heh. That fits in with my Batman post:

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It's incredible! We've only been to Mumbai and Jaipur so far. Mumbai is like this crazy inside out New York thing only with more people. The train last night was mostly a nightmare, but the people are so wonderful they made it all better. Was invited to a wedding (we can't go as it's the day we leave for Agra). And now have a lovely room, the first real shower in days and tailored clothes delivered to the hotel in the morning.
I will go into more details when I'm not on crappy hotel wi-fi.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yay Jaipur!
Yeah my cold appears to be blessedly mild too. It would be great if I were totally over it by the time I got off this train because right now the biggest way it`s manifesting itself is in extreme fatigue, and from Wednesday on I need to be totally on and in people! mode, which as we all know is super draining for peeps like me. I wish I hadn`t let them make up my bed this morning because I could totally still nap.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Oh, and I got a photo of a camel in the streets of Jaipur for Aims, but missed the one of the Vampire Diaries billboard in Mumbai. Boo.

Damn you all and your mild colds. I feel like someone ran over my head with a tractor this morning.

Wow!
Happy birthday, Sumi!
Happy belated, Chikat!
I've been pondering something over the weekend and wanted to put it to the board.
How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?
Basically, we designate a mutually useful time and everybody that wants to play can address that one thing you've been putting off for too long: Making that phone call, or responding to that email, or canceling that thing, or backing up that system, or debugging that code, writing that documentation, scrubbing that surface, filing those invoices, paying those bills, organizing that closet.
Anybody interested? I'm thinking the combination of peer support and scheduled group activity might be a way for people to get over their various personal roadblocks.
