the dogs were kvetchy all day today: whine whine whine. yowza. it's made me a mite crabby.

that and i've caught a chill i can't seem to shake (though hot tea is helping). and the soup i had for lunch was kinda viscous and gross (i'm making my own next time ~ this canned business isn't even fit for birds: yech!)

so i've barely accomplished my bottom goal for work today and it's already 6:30 ~ meh. rather disappointing and now i haven't much energy to fiddle-foo with other stuff.

i also spent entirely too much time reading Phreeque.com (a compendium of "medical anomalies" ~ a bit graphic, though not intending to be exploitive; still, be forewarned.) i confess to a curiosity about such things and it's a theme i find in my writing (what is Shiloh, anyway, if not a "freak" ~ and though all the asylum residents are amputees, it really amounts to the same thing in that era ~ and what about Mad Collie's kids? 19th century ex-hatter supports brood of deformed children by becoming a porn photographer ~ okay, i'll admit, it's one of my stranger stories). point is: i guess i am always amazed at how people live their lives regardless of their conditions. it's not, perhaps, "heroic" per se, but reminds me of my own ingratitude. and i do still think if i had just been born with no legs or two heads or something, i would be a better person.

okay, maybe a weird subject about which i'm not expressing myself especially well, so i'll just drop it.

i really need to find a good video store. i miss watching movies. er, i guess i also need to fix my tv. and since i don't have any money to fix my tv, i guess i'll just have to watch Band of Brothers or the Singing Detective again. why did they remake The Singing Detective? the mini-series is brilliant. silly hollywood.

and i've decided: infusing a tortilla chip with "guacamole" flavor isn't just weird and wrong, it's an abomination to the palate.
