DJ, posting from India! I can't wait to hear all the details about the trip.
Germans protest airport body scanners. No one gets completely naked, for the record.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Yay, India, DJ!
I fixed a toilet this morning. Just the handle/flush mechanism and not perfectly, but it works for now. It's been broken for nearly a month, requiring the removal of the top of the tank and manually pulling the chain to flush.
A good thing to note is that the cheap toilet handles are a complete waste of money. For $10 more at Lowe's, you'll get one that will actually work.

Happy Belated Birthday Chikat!
I've discovered that I have 3 birthday twins amongst my friends on facebook.
My headcold was fast and furious: woke me up Friday night with a horrible running nose. That lasted 'til Saturday afternoon when it switched to stuffiness and slight nausea. Then by Sunday it was stuffiness and a headache. And now I seem to be okay.
I'm still unsure whether it was a cold or a reaction to the flu shot and I'm guessing that the headache was caffeine related.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?
I could really use it...I have phone stuff at work I'm flinching away from right now, for no good reason besides just plain not liking phones. It's stupid and it makes me completely infuriated at myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some scary pictures:

No fair! You already did your onerous task!
I'm thinking of the avoidy projects that tend to rollover on your to-do list. Or don't go on the to-do list because them you'd have to do them.

Coding and Sleeping
I've started turning the spaceship into a fort/clubhouse. It's just a floor and frame down, sort of sad. But it'll get better soon.
