Oh yeah, speaking of access to health care: Rest in well-deserved grace, George Tiller. I hope someone is brave enough to step up and fight back.

I have PMS. I ate too much veg and rice yesterday and have had a dire protein craving all day. I also tend to be low on blood sugar if I don't eat between work and gym, and have a short useful attention span before I start babbling and accidentally setting things on fire*.

TMI: I suddenly understand why other women pay a stranger $60 to smear their chins with hot wax. The drugstore hot wax kit costs one-twelfth as much, but I - and I flatter myself I have pretty good eye-hand coordination - found it really tricky not to drip wax all down my front, and the drugstore stuff is sickly yellow and smells gross.

I must be in a mood. Have had nothing non-snarky to say this morning. Mostly I've caught myself before actually commenting.

Luckily, I'm the only person actually here.

(Oh, right. Bitchpants, plus acne, plus last night's craving for beef. I know where this ride goes after all.)
