You can get the flu any time of year, it's just more common at some times than others. One of my sons had the flu in July a few years ago.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I read this yesterday and the RJM-version of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown has been in my head since. IT WON'T STOP.

RE: messy roommates. I am kind of one. What has worked in the past is a good honest relationship with roommates (or in the current case, my boyfriend) and lightening up the situation. My boyfriend jokingly makes fun of my messes and that usually inspired me to clean them up a lot more than nagging would. If he wrote me a note on a board I'd ignore the shiitake out of that. So I understand a certain stubbornness from being told what to you, but I completely understand your frustrations, missdelaney, and your roommate did NOT help the situation by blowing up at you. Good luck!

I'm sorry! Do you want the new one that's been in my head since yesterday? To REM's "Losing My Religion", instead of "I think I thought I saw you try", I've been singing "I'm Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". Fits perfectly. BUT OMG.

That was one of the songs I recorded myself doing to see how bad I was! It turns out that I got most of the words wrong.

Here, get this stuck in your heads instead! Alternately, play the How Many Times Can Peter Hollens Touch His Crotch In One Video? game.

(My group is doing this song, so it's going to be stuck in my head for 38138911 years. I do love the song. And Peter Hollins is forking awesome, magnetic hand-crotch quota notwithstanding)

It was sunny when I left for work and all day while I sat in the office, and then it started pissing with rain as soon as I left. I ended up soaking my trainers (because they have a mesh top) just walking the 3 minutes from the bus stop to my flat.

My dog just had a chiropractic adjustment, and it was really cool! The chiropractor showed us how Sable's hip bones were not level with each other because her pelvis was twisted. After about 2 minutes of adjustments, her hips were perfectly level! My mother has always been afraid of chiropractors, but this has convinced her to see one.

Was it a specifically pet animal chiropractor?

I miss being able to use homework as an excuse to avoid certain social situations.

She is certified for humans and dogs. She said she much prefers working with dogs!

Haha! I know what you mean! Right now, I'm suuuuper bummed that I have so much work that I can't hang out ever, but...I also really like just being alone and not leaving my apartment, so having homework is a good excuse for that.

I numbed my tastebuds by eating the most deliciously salty and vinegary potato chips I've ever tasted. Which was enjoyable, but now I have no tastebuds. Ah well, still worth it.

I love that post s&v chip fuzzy mouth feeling.

It's 1am- should I or should I not make coffee right now?

We need more information. What will you do after drinking said coffee?

I have a raspberry iced latte in the back of the fridge. I meant to drink it earlier, so I'm in the same boat. Mine is decaf though that is still plenty of caffeine to wire me up.

Probably some reading and eventually, hopefully, some sleeping.

Also, I am always pro-caffeine and pro-coffee so all I'm going to do is enable you.

I want to stay at home and snorgle guinea pigs all day but I have to go to stinky work. Bah.

I'm frustrated. I want to move out so badly, but I don't know if I can afford to. Some guy on Craigslist is offering a free room in exchange for cooking, cleaning, and giving massages...maybe I'll take him up on that! (No, not really. Ew.)

Headdesk. I'm really happy Scientist#1 and I are working on this project together, but damn, do I ever wish she were more tech friendly. The usual annotation software scares her, so we're doing it by hand, which means I have to entire timecodes manually and pull apart her notes into three or four excel columns instead of the one she's lumped them all into. (Come on guys, it's the 21st century already! And this is late 90's technology!)

Why do hardly any men at the gym work out their legs? There are guys with huge arms and little noodly legs. Do they not mind having calf muscles that look like Ikea standing lamps? Surely, they risk toppling over in a strong breeze?

I just found out that my great great grandmother lived to be 115, that is pretty amazing. Sadly, her son, my great grandfather suffered a fall a few years before I was born so I never met him.

Hahaha. Maybe it's more difficult for men to add bulk to legs? I don't know. But even Tony Horton has little dinky calves, according to him.

I have no answers, but I do appreciate balance on men.

Edited to make myself not sound like an asparagus.

There is tons of guys at my gym like this. One guy in particular though is RIPPED from the waist up and totally puny from the waist down and he looks so top heavy it's not flattering to him.
