We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's a mystery. Like one of those magical pouches that always is full of gold, except gross.

Ah ha ha ha ha!

It was 52 when I woke up, with a projected high of 74. Fall is officially here. Note: our old house has no central heating and no insulation because that's how they built crappy houses back in the 1940s, so when it's 52 outside it's 52 inside as well.

Allow me to introduce Memphis' top gay bar, The Pumping station.

And for a bit of cognitive dissonance, here is The Pump Station. If you mention pump station to me, my mind goes right to nursing bras, not gay bars.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I don't understand how one body can produce so much snot.

I always say that people with colds should lose weight, because if the massive amounts of snot aren't ALWAYS there, then your body is making the snot from *something* and then eliminating it through the magic of Kleenex, so you should be losing weight.

Except (1) that's probably not logical and/or (2) the amount of snot is basically negligible compared to the size of the human body, so -- no weight loss.

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

This video improved my mood. Jet This! JET ENGINE vs TICKLE ME ELMO

Teppy, I think your theory should be right. Even if it's not. It has logic!

I am still in bed. I went to sleep about 9:45. And when my alarm went off at 7, I hit snooze. And then changed it. And then changed it again. And hit snooze a couple more times. And still don't wanna get up. I blame being sick.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I turned on the heater in my bathroom this morning.

I've been alternating between turning on the heat and running fans in the window for the last month. It's been a gorgeous autumn, but hella confusing on how to maintain the house or what to wear.

pseudoephedrine

The other question here is if it's really pseudoephedrine or the one they put in most of the decongestants these days, pseudoephedrine being a prime component in crystal meth. You usually have to jump through some hoops to get the real thing these days. Not sure how doubling up on the fake pseudo (HA!) is in terms of good or bad though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They recently concluded that the fake stuff does literally nothing for congestion.

brillig

so when it's 52 outside it's 52 inside as well.

That amuses me, because 52 is roughly what I have the furnace set to. We're already seeing lows in the 30s and 20s, so 52 is a perfectly cromulent temperature.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've been alternating between turning on the heat and running fans in the window for the last month. It's been a gorgeous autumn, but hella confusing on how to maintain the house or what to wear.

I go back and forth from heat to A/C on the regular these days. Yesterday I took the dog for a walk wearing a down jacket and flip flops.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had to jump through hoops to get both, so I hope I have the real stuff.

Stupid thing: We get flu shots for free at work, but late in the season, and this year's is today, which means I don't get one, because I am sick, so now I have to wait until I am healthy and let my doctor chastise me for not getting it earlier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You could let the person at CVS not care when you're getting it?
