It's almost six am and I'm wide freakin' awake... I took one Amoxicillin before bed and spend pretty much all night up to this point rolling and thrashing on the bed.

Guess I might as well go ahead and get today off. Damnit.

The whole flying car concept. I see so many people can barely navigate roads as is and presumably they're licensed, do we really want to throw in altitude as well? It's one of those things that sounds cool but the thought of power lines alone makes me twitch.

I have a tooth ache. THAT MOVES AROUND. And fades in and out. Partly aggravated by cold and sugary stuff but not by pressure. No swelling or discoloration of the gumline either. I waited a week to see if it would go away but it hasn't, so I'm finally going to the dentist tomorrow ( Read more... )

Doomsday is a great popcorn flick. Rhona Mitra with a cybernetic eye, Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig, hot cannibal chicks with facial tattoos, and fat men in dresses doing burlesque.

Why are these headsets so expensive?These are the headsets we use, and I'm trying to either find one with a non-foam earpiece or a plug I can splice an earbud and mic on. But damn...
