It has begun!
My global fridge-magnet network is slowly establishing itself. I know have an agent in Vienna, who just bought me a horrendous edelweiss on a plastic green hat. She's going to Turkey next, and has promised to look for a fez magnet. It is also a standing request that anybody I know who travels abroad must return with the ugliest magnet they can find.
What started out with 2 dead fish and a container of Chinese food now takes up the complete side panel of my fridge. I'll take a picture and post it on my website :)
Today isn’t an hour old and it’s already a bad day
I’m uber stressed these days. About work, which I’m really starting not to enjoy anymore. About money, which is starting to get tight because of some investments I made and debts I accrued. About roommates, which I thought I’d fixed, but I haven’t been able to reach him in the past week, and now I find out he’s no longer working where he told me he was. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
So, since I’m stressed, I’m not sleeping well. Which makes it impossible to come into work in the morning. Which is really pissing me off, especially when my boss is giving me snide little remarks about it. He’s not coming outright and telling me, he’s making little annoying comments – which is kinda worse. I’m doing my best here, but the fact that I wake up two or three times a night, coupled with the fact that I’m starting to not care about my job, means that coming in early to work is a physical impossibility.
Gah. I need a drink, a vacation and to get laid, and not necessarily in that order.

With some descriptions quoted below, for your reading and culinary pleasure:
This dish is useful only if a guest has a sudden attack of hemorroids, and needs to lower himself into something that sooths and cools. Otherwise, skip it.
This applies a layer of foam insulation atop a bed of celery-flecked gelatin. The item is shown here as it always appeared at the end of every party: one piece removed, probably by the hostess, and the rest of the dish untouched

Women look best once a month
Women who make the room light up with their good looks may have a secret up their sleeve – it may be down to their menstrual cycle. Both men and women consider a woman's face to be at its most attractive when she is at the peak of her fertility, according to new research.
[…]
[Other] work has shown that women prefer masculine-looking men when they are ovulating. At other times, he says, they prefer softer features that are associated with more social and caring behaviour.

Ever had one of those morning?

Did I mention I'm thinking of getting a kitty?
From talking to various people, I discovered that there's a breed of cats that's apparently good for people with allergies, like myself, because they don't produce the protein that induces the allergic response.
I'm going to see the breeder this weekend. If I don't die from allergies and if I get roommate and landlord approval, I'm going to get a kitty. Go have a look at the website: http://stthomascats.homestead.com/kittens.html
I'm leaning towards red or blue, with a preference for red.

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!
If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!
How grammatically sound are you?

FYI
Just so you know, I added some more comics
Today will be loooooong
I went to bed way the hell too late last night, and it's all Michel's fault. He twisted my arm to go do something that, while really fun, is catching up with me today.
