tinypliny 00:16 Aarrrgh. Home remedies without basis
tinypliny 00:16 because it doesn't
tinypliny 00:15 Unless they mean it increases the white cells - which makes no sense
tinypliny 00:15 I mean mucus is like white cells and infection jumbled together - the immune reaction to an ongoing infection - how does milk increase this?
tinypliny 00:14 I don't see how milk is a mucus-inducing food
tinypliny 23:44 That local sneaky bloke must have such a workload if he or she is real - which I suspect they are not.
tinypliny 23:43 for just about everything.
tinypliny 23:43 I was looking for best pizza places and I was SO annoyed looked at that generic paragraph with "Our local sneaky blah blah"
tinypliny 23:42 that website is SUCH a colossal letdown!

I haven't smoked all week, except one on Monday morning. So far so good. Definitely have mood swings. Well more like a permanently shitty mood. Getting better today. Haven't killed anyone yet. Thanks for putting up with me James big_grin

As incentive to quit, I bought myself a ridiculously nice, but used so not too expensive, chair. Definitely worth the money considering I sit in it for like 2100 hours a year. The one I had before was so crappy and badly fitting I was starting to get pains and aches by the end of the work day. Yuck, not worth it. My body didn't come with a warranty.

I think without James' encouragement and my self-bribery I wouldn't have been able to quit. Feels pretty good!

Girl Talk's latest album Feed the Animals is super awesome. I'm having so much fun listening to it today. (Remix/mashup/dj stuff)

It is available online, set-your-own-fee-or-free (like Radiohead's last):

Seriously best new thing I've listened to all year.

Track 12 from the album:

re James' latest post, which is a missed connection with at least a bare minimum of details.

Why do they usually sound like this?

I saw you at [vague location starbucks], you were [vague description standing by the wall] and you [vague action glanced at me]. If you're interested, please [ironic demand for specific details email me an exact description of what I look like] so we can connect!

I am one week into quitting smoking cold turkey. Going pretty well.

Also, I have an unrelated cold. Is summer over already? Huddled in a hoodie, sniffling, dark at midday, looks like it to me.
