Waking up with a sharp headache despite not drinking the previous evening (i.e. two pints of Guinness). Of course, there's an easy way to make sure that doesn't happen again. :angry:

Spending all evening trying to get home, with a short interval in the middle to eat something :angry: Could have walked it in a fraction of the time, but my flimsy leather flip-flops in the monsoon-like weather were not practical.

I'm starting to have murderous thoughts towards the people whose job it is to stop you on the street and ask Do you have a second for Greenpeace?/Do you want to get Bush out of office?/Can I ask you a question about your hair?/Would you like to save the children?

It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

Near the office for a few days there are people that stop you and say: "do you have some time for gay marriage?" So yesterday I said to a young woman: "marry you? I don't even know you."

Heat, humidity, heat, humidity, heat, humidity. For the love of God, is this city a mile from the sun?

Yeah, the weather is silly. As everyone knows, I'm dapper as a dachshund, but I've taken to schlepping around in a dirty tee-shirt and jeans, and putting real clothes on only when I arrive somewhere. Slosh, slosh, slosh.

If you use Internet Explorer you can put iespell on your toolbar and correct your own spelling anywhere, anytime.

curb your god

If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. (Voltaire)

One is often told that it is very wrong to attack religion because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. (Bertrand Russell)

Believing there is no god gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-O, and all things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have. (Penn Jillette)

I will never willingly use a Microsoft product when a non-MS alternative is available. Even to preserve an appearance of semi-literacy.

Did I forget to mention that as soon as I got my computer set-up working, the phones went dead? :ph43r: I'm waiting for the telephone guy as we speak.

I am reminded of the bit Woody Allen used to do when he was still a stand-up comedian in which all the electrical appliances in his home conspire against him.

Oh my god Sandy.

Well at least you have RR. If you still had DSL you'd be offline too!

If I were paranoid, I'd say that Verizon is punishing me.
