A nervous breakdown.
Cheryl / October 5, 2009 11:30 AM
A hell of a time with my seasonal allergies. The doc is going to fit me in tomorrow to make sure it's not the flu, but it's not the flu. It could be an ear infection though.

Coffee, Black
David / October 5, 2009 12:11 PM
I am having none of it.

A Mai Tai at 8:30 in the morning.

At the moment, a slow day at the office. Later, hopefully a relaxing evening at home.
Cheryl- I f you have not heard it you should listen the this episode of Radio Lab. And then if you haven't yet, every other episode as well but the allergy cure at the end is particularly compelling.

A lot of satisfying fantasies.

A case of the Mondays and probably a case of the Octobers. I'm not ready for this weather.

Stuffed Vidlia Onions and a big bottle of red wine. Also anxiety about where I'm going to live in a few weeks. Anyone know anyone?

I'm having dinner at my desk at work. Same place I had lunch. And breakfast.
mike-ts / October 6, 2009 10:45 PM
Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
And wow, to see someone mention Old Krupnik (pronounced kroop'-nyik). I haven't seen that thing for ages - had some Polish buds whose parents kept the stuff around. Quite yummy, as I recall, like a honey schnapps. May have to get a bottle, for the tea, of course.

kind of a mini- identity crisis. But it'll all be ok.
printdude / October 7, 2009 7:56 AM
Pie for breakfast. With my coffee, black.
jlp / October 7, 2009 2:50 PM
