Writer's Block and other stuff.
I'm not sure I've ever eaten anything remarkably weird. However on a business trip to Phoenix several years ago (back when I had a career rather than a family) there was Rattlesnake on offer. I was saving this for my last night so I had something to go out in style with - unfortunately, they had no rattlesnakes available on the night in question.

In other news - my flatscreen monitor has expired. It's been on its way out for days, with the power light just flashing for ages when it's turned on but this morning, having intentionally not switched it off last night, it was doing the same and just didn't rectify itself. Fortunately as we'd had warning, a friend of ours gave us an old CRT monitor as backup. I am now using this but after only a few minutes I am ALREADY suffering from screen-too-close-and-flickery-headache syndrome.
