Problem: Stuck answering the phones at work because the receptionist's daughter is sick (again), can't take a lunch because everyone else who could answer the phones is unavailable. Spirits and blood sugar drop dangerously.

Solution: Leave work an hour earlier than usual, eat a croissant a drink a double caffe correcto (grappa), read this month's CycleWorld, and pet my cat.

I think that next on...

I haven't slept, and I have something like twenty hours of airports+flights ahead of me (with 8 hours stuck at o'hare--ugh). I seriously can scarcely function without sleep (and I seriously had to type this sentence three times), so I'm beginning to wonder how I am possibly going to make it to paris, much less with my luggage.

I think I have TMJ. when I had a retainer in middle school, I wore holes in it by grinding my teeth. my girlfriends have informed me that I still grind my teeth. now, my jaw is really sore, and it kinda pops when I move it side-to-side or open it really wide.

I would go to the dentist and ask about it, but I...

ABOUT a million pounds of mardis gras beads, free to good home.

so I have this paper to write. I named it "Alan Turing: The Man and The Machine." it's basically a bio of turing, with another section at the end that is more specifically about the development of turing's specialized machine, and then the generalization into the universal turing machine, with discussion of the influences and applications that surround the development.

I had written down that...

so I seem to be back on the SG cyberscene, thanks to the swank we-want-you-back deal.

after a very long hiatus, I finally have my internet connection back! and there is much rejoicing around here. well, I'm rejoicing. my girlfriend may not be doing as much rejoicing as I am.

I did NOT have mono. just strep. the doctor finally called me two days later to tell me that--after I had already gotten over it.

this morning I awoke to an alarm clock falling on my face and busting my lip open. needless to say, I was displeased. in fact, I started the shower and sat on the toilet and held my head in my...

I feel like hell.

somebody go tell all the goddamn trees that they don't need to reproduce this year. seriously.

I just had this overwhelming urge for sparkling water. so I got a bottle of perrier and am now sipping it--and LIKING it.

what the hell is happening to me?

I refuse to make any spring break plans, because all those I have made so far have fallen through. I was going to go to the burlesque show, but it was cancelled. I was going to go camping, but one our party got PNEUMONIA. seriously. how ridiculous is that? I think it's a sign.

I think that bourbon and saffron rice makes for a good...
