1) Modern medicine remains magical to me. I wake up feeling like chicken-fried ass. I take two cold/sinus/flu tablets. I feel ten feet tall and can breathe comfortably. Placebo effect? Chemical reaction? The divine will? Immaterial! It's wondrous, I tell you!

2) gonequiet is of the opinion that I should start going to vampire sex parties. Everybody should have that one friend who says bizarre things that make you spit liquids across the table. How fortunate am I to have a half-dozen?

*g*

3) I am super-pissed this morning about my phone bill, but not for the reasons you might expect. I am actually pissed because it is $44.00 lower than last month's phone bill (basic, not long distance), and I don't even want to talk about it. I do feel obliged, however, to mention it and glower a little.

*headdesk*

4) From hubby of msminki, Bad Astronomy blog. Science!

*cartwheels*

5) Yesterday's workday was a series of small annoyances. It was like getting hit in the face repeatedly with a velvet glove: not necessarily painful, but a serious affront to one's dignity and honor. Not cool.

6) On the bright side, vendors who bring one swag are utterly delightful. Especially if a portion of said swag is edible.

7) None of the local universities can afford me anymore. Even if I suddenly went mad and wanted to return to academe, I'm already out of their league. My vanity is quite flattered by this.

8) So, um, the water supply. Jeez. I'm kind of not surprised, and I'm convinced this is why the world is getting crazier. Then again, I am a tad bull-goose loony.

9) Right now, my lover's name is Crazy. My emotional task is to commit fully to Crazy, let him have his way with me, and hope he tires of me quickly. I hear he's a fickle bastard, so I have high hopes.

*headdesk*

10) Am behind on flist, but catching up. Thanks for your patience.

Night shift. Bleah. Also have a head-scratcher of a ref question to work on, one that involves towns that don't exist anymore, and very old maps, if we have them. Am perversely grateful for this.

That is aggravatedly all.
