so, the ongoing joke today at work was whether or not i have swine flu. i ate bacon for breakfast this weekend, but i'm pretty certain i'm not infested with anything any more virulent than some random cold bug. i closed my office door and stuck a post-it on it saying 'Enter at your own risk". my door stayed shut most of the day, and miracle of ( Read more... )

i woke up this morning after a fascinating dream. i was in mexico, in a little cantina, and there were auditions for the cantina's nightly entertainment. it was apparently a HUGE thing to get in to these auditions and some really famous people were there ( Read more... )

wow. today has been a very busy day at work and when i came home, sweetie and i worked diligently getting ready for our planned camping trip this weekend. it wasn't until 9:20pm that we actually stopped long enough to turn on the television and grab our laptops. and what news was waiting for us? the deaths of both farrah fawcet and michael jackson ( Read more... )
