People call me a thrillseeker, an adrenaline junkie, so on and so forth. They’re right. But really, none of my hobbies are anywhere near as dangerous as my boss’s seemingly favorite new hobby: Provoking the Donna. He brought me a new book today!

I am terribly amused by Zero Punctuation game reviews. Evidently, here’s the plot of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

things that hurt: – nose – head – throat – sinuses – back – eyeballs – hair – everything Aaaaugh. Cannot. Handle. Being. Sick. I’m drugged to the teeth, and IT’S NOT ENOUGH. I really should buy my own medication, instead of relying on what was in the house. This Tylenol cough syrup stuff isn’t [...]

Damnit, marmot. Damn you to marmot-hell. I think I caught Jenn’s whooping rabies. Or something like that, anyway. I had PLANS for this weekend. I was going to get stuff done! Wash my car, inside & out! Take Justice out for a group lesson/dog walk in Richmond with my trainer! Laundry! Finish organizing my room! [...]
