I have a miserable head cold, so I have spent most of the day sleeping on the couch with my faithful conjoined twin. He needs a nail trim.
The ice persisted all of yesterday. But the sun is out, and It's warmed up today, so everything's melting. I have many young pines in my back yard, finally starting to fill in the space that the developers leveled (my house is only 7 years old). The downside, I guess, of being evergreen is that it gives something for the ice to cling to (which includes my bamboo, too). A branch was sheared off of one of the pines and fell in the backyard. The gen'ral discovered it today and realized that it hadn't been peed on. He was happy to do the honors.
I haven't checked yet to see if my bamboo is damaged (cf. head cold).
It must be nice to have a life as uncomplicated as a dog's. I'm sure it's not perfect, though. I like having testicles..., and thumbs; human females are hotter than canine ones, though that may just be my perspective; I like being able to drink coffee and eat chocolate, and vice versa. I guess the payment for the big brain that lets us do what we do is complication, frustration, depression, ....
I've often thought about the single-mindedness of a crack junkie in similar terms.
So, the day after meeting folks, particulary in a social setting where alcohol is plentiful, can be pretty full of angst and self doubt. Did everybody hate me? Did I act like a complete tool? Obnoxious? Loud? Just a big ol' friggin' geek? It certainly makes me reluctant to seek those folks out, so thanks to those that sent friend requests. It really allays those doubts.

I finally caved and ordered Chappelle's Show, Seaon 1. This is gonna be hella sweet. Now I'm gonna go to sleep, so's I can get up early enough to call in sick.
