http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net I like music, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick. Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:24:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It was a long, long, long, long week at work. Especially the last few days, when everybody apparently noticed that it was the full moon and become total fraking shits (the callers, not the coworkers). In any case, my weekend officially started 3 hours ago and I'm just ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1351 Damnit, only Joss Whedon could do what nobody else could: make me watch a superhero/villain comic-book-style show and like it. Go check out Dr Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. Get updates at the official fan site. (Free viewing only until the 21st.) Nathan Fillion is hot. So is Neil Patrick Harris. ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1350 It was too hot today to do anything but make a mad dash to Powell's (a very brief trip, since it doesn't seem that they have air conditioning), hit the KFC drive-thru, then go home and watch DVDs. After watching my most recent Netflix documentary (Hijacked: American Experience -- ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1349 My future son-in-law, the Dustinator, is a very bad & wicked man. He left one of his books at my house, and when I ran out of stuff to read, I innocently picked it up and started in on it. Now I have to buy every damned book that Christopher ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1348 It's been quite a while since I've blogged about something other than being sick. It must be update time. (I am still sick. Still coughing. It still sucks. Yadda yadda.) Geoffrey bought himself a new toy (the black model, of course). He's considerably more bouncy & cheerful ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1347 I'm not over my illness yet, although this morning I woke up and felt noticeably better than yesterday. And by "noticeably better" I mean that I no longer have to take my codeine cough syrup during the day in order to avoid those coughing fits that take over my ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1346 Work today sucked, and not in the happy fun way. I had a few horrible coughing fits, and the worst one prompted a couple of people (including my lead) to ask if I was going to be okay, if I needed a break off the phones, etc. I ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1345 Apparently what I've thought was a sinus headache that's lasted 4 or 5 days so far was really a migraine. I already have 7 different drugs in my system (antibiotic, prescription antihistamine & decongestant, my daily prescription of migraine-preventative, OTC cough syrup, OTC decongestant & OTC expectorant -- which ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1344 Last Tuesday I started coughing, out of the blue. One hour I was fine, the next I was feeling like hell. The next day, I started feeling better -- well enough to cancel the doctor's appointment I had made for that evening. Over the weekend, however, it ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1343 So after work today, I'm in the grocery store, minding my own business, headed for the checkout with a basket full of stuff. A guy walks by me -- I didn't even get a look at him, except a vague impression that he was about my height -- and ... http://cosmicbabe.greyduck.net/journal/1341
