Holy crap! Sickness = the best diet EVER. Screw this gym stuff; I’m gonna go hang out at the hospital. 🙂

Ebert has added Say Anything to his list of “The Great Movies.” I tend to agree.

Who else is anticipating a huge increase in applications to UC Berkeley this year?

Make your own license plate. Yeah, mine’s stretched a bit. Remember when you used to get little bicycle license plates in boxes of Honeycomb cereal? I’d always pray for a cool one, and instead it’d be Texas every single time. Not that Texas sucks or anything, but I swear that’s the only one they ever…

New Poll: What’s the verdict on going to the gym when you’re sick? Snook’s been urging me to go all through this flu, but I’ve been resisting. At present I’m mostly better, but I’m still congested and at times I hack and cough. I’m worried that any cardiovascular workout will make me wheeze like a…

What’s your signature dish?Snookums would probably say it’s my chili, although I readily admit it cannot hold…

The tickle I’ve been feeling in the back of my throat for two days can be ignored no longer. I’m sick, folks. *pout* Snookums has been taking good care of me though. Orange juice and chicken soup are on the menu today!
