And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The problem with starting a company is that then you have to deal with clients and employees, and when you dislike people, that's a problem.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The Globe tour sounds awesome!

I had my annual physical today, which generally went well. The nurse was apparently trying to get blood to squirt out of my fingertips with the BP cuff, so my doctor redid it and got a much more reasonable 124/78 reading. Also got a diagnosis of mild tendonitis in my left Achilles tendon that should fade as I continue to lose weight, which was what I expected.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Has anyone here been to Chile?

I think Vortex is there right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds/looks like a great trip, Zenkitty! Jealous.

Has anyone here been to Chile? (Santiago and northern)

Pretty sure Kat P is who you want on Chile.

Oh! Right! How did I forget that about Kat?? Will hit her up.

Vortex IS in Chile right now, but mostly visiting her brother, apparently.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

down to mixing (I think) goat hair in with the plaster.

Yes, goat hair! It makes the plaster mixture adhere better to the wall (she said). They shaved goats for this plaster.

My friend and traveling companion Katie ganked my SD chip while I was sleeping, copied my photos, and uploaded her photos onto it, so now we both have both my photos and hers. So I'm uploading over 1000 photos to Flickr. I'll sort them out when they get there. Flickr hates me.

Ugh, exactly.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'd love to start my own company. Freelance Editing and Design, Inc. Is there room for a band of roaming editors and other freelancers that's got together and incorporated for the group benefits and a company accountant?

Count me in!

Yes, but not insurmountable!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Your pictures have been wonderful Zen. I want to see the Globe so badly. One day.

So, it is a brand new day for Suziq. I slept well last night. First time in a few days. Fever seems to be gone, flu symptoms have not developed, I just feel exhausted and only slightly dizzy.

Good news, Suzi!

Glad to hear it, Suzi! But still stay in bed.
