I've even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi.

Reg and I are trying to walk more, since it's winter now and all. Well, also b/c my broken toe is better albeit not perfect. And also because my doctor was worried about my high blood pressure - although probably not anymore since my cholesterol levels are perfect. Nonetheless.



Saturday walked about five miles up the hill to Chism Beach, then Sunday I just went to the post office and saw THAT and I was like OMG. And then lost my relatively new sunglasses. Boy, I'm annoyed about that.

We spent a ton of time with Keely while she was here, and I think my liver doubled in size or something. Also, I really am sick of staring at the four walls inside my apartment, having been in the outside world so much. Although I'm still kind of "meh" about people when I'm sober. That's fine. It's all fine. I'm just saying, it's ALL fine.

Oh yeah, I watched the first few episodes of Elementary and they annoyed me and Reg (who only saw two minutes) so bad we had to watch the BBC Sherlock pilot again. Reg has finally watched the entire six episodes (he was stringing out the pleasure, or something) but I fell asleep in the middle of "The Reichenbach Fall" so I have no idea of his reaction to John and Sherlock holding hands. He liked the ending a lot though. I was like "Martin Freeman crying is kind of like watching kittens getting strangled" and he was like "Totally."

The lung butter seems to have gotten to the fake sore throat point. You know, where you hack it all up and then your throat doesn't really hurt. But there's just um, lots of it. Nice not to have the wire-scraping feeling going on down there though.

Despite this shit I have been going out. Wed was karaoke, Thursday night was McLeod (and then straight home) and last night we hung out with Kim a bit and briefly saw langston and patrick before heading home. We attempted to watch two movies and failed, so I suppose we'll try again later. Although I'm not sure if I can watch Spartacus.

my cold got a shit ton worse just in time for the weekend. well granted staying up late playing munchkin and drinking didn't help much but saturday I ran a fever. so i've been in bed since then. finished angel season 5 and re-watched Veronica Mars 1 and began Six Feet Under 3. also, re-read the Transmet run. we have had people over between bouts of unconsciousness at least. watched Memento both backwards and forwards, and House of Yes, which Reg had never seen and is a lot better than I remember. edit: also we saw the weirdest japanese movie called Samurai Fiction which everyone should watch if they want to be happy.

at the moment I have a pimple inside my nose, which is SO GREAT when you have to press it to blow. i packed it with ice and that made me feel less like i was in hell.

when did dayquil replace the pseudephedrine??

edit: 20mg actually seems to help.

this is what i've been bitching about. and this is after a week of recovery.

We watched the P&T BS! about genetically modified food, which has pissed me off anyway - opposition I mean - but now I have even more reason to hate those fuckers. I mean in general I just thought they were dumb retards, but now it's like, they hate Africans. Also I don't get why organic/sustainable farming has to exclude GM crops. I mean, I love organic food, but i thought that just meant no pesticides and shit. Argh, fucking stupid hippies. Anyway.

Last night was fun. We hit up Trinity and got everyone to come and play with us, then chilled out after at Ang & Sid's new place. Killah.

My favorite way to fix Social Security: Raise the retirement age. (others included)

OMFG The Fashion Police ban hoodies!

All about Quorn, the best fakemeat ever.

Psychopathy is genetic. Interesting query: "Suppose early environmental conditioning techniques which can reverse psychopathy are discovered. Parentheticaly I'm extremely skeptical of the notion than any socialization practices can counteract the effects of gross differences in brain morphology characteristic of psychopaths. But suppose I'm wrong. Would you favor removing a very young budding psychopath from his parents in order to put him through a social conditioning therapy to reverse his psychopathy?"

OK, so we had Thai with Trish and Dougie, and then split up for a while so they could get waxed and we could have sex, then they came back over and we all chilled out for a while watching Simpsons. We agreed to go to IKEA the next day, as D owes us a coffee table, but that did not happen.

Well, we still went to IKEA, but it was just us. Got a few cute little kitchen things as well and in honor of that, I made bread. I like making bread. We got more yeast so I can keep doing so. The fast-acting stuff is like candy. So, yeah, we had crepes and then BBQ on Saturday, and on Sunday we had breakfast in bed - IKEA HAS BED TRAYS!! So rad. I made bacon and eggs and tea to go with the bread.

I watched American Splendor while the bread was rising and baking. I have read some of the comics so I knew mostly what was up, but it was nice to see how they put it together into a movie. Seems really weird that it's just, you know, some guy who happened to know R. Crumb and made his life into a comic and is finally rich and famous, but somewhat inspiring.

Last night we watched Dig, or at least attempted to, I fell asleep about halfway through. It's about the groups Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols and their rise to fame, or not as the case may be... anyway their lead singers are both kinda crazy, or to be more accurate, way crazy and kinda crazy respectively. My favorite part was when they interviewed Anton's parents and his dad was all "Yeah, I was committed when he was just a kid" and then killed himself a few months after the interview. And his mom, who turned the kid in for growing pot and refused to bail him out for breaking curfew. What a cunt.

I have a sinus headache from the devil himself.

Since i've been sick I've been drinking tea tea tea, just re-using the same bag till no matter how long I leave it in, the water refuses to turn bright orange. And of course this doesn't contribute to a very high caffeine consumption rate, so my tolerance has gone down a wee bit. I just had a double mocha and I'm flying. Woo boy!

that's 24 hours now I've had this headache.
