please tell me an angry sun chases you.Correct. They call it the Valley of the Sun, but I prefer to consider it the Desert World of Super Mario Bros 3.Hmmm... It's not as high as I thought, however. 331 meters average in Phoenix. The rest of Arizona tends to be much higher.Phoenix, if I remember correctly, is sprawled within a valley.
Not every level, but most of them.

as youtube is not working for me, please remember the Simpsons take on huck finn and Tom Sawyer here."So, your assignment is to write an obituary for Huck."
"But we know he's alive."
"We do? I live in town, and I'm pretty sure he's dead..."
"Ohhhh."
"So, it'll need to be about a page-"
'Oh, God."
"-and include a sketch of Huck."
"OH, GOD."
Never seen it.

I like pumpkin soup. Pumpkin in coffee is just weird to me. I tried running in Phoenix just for science but I found that the dry air made it rather hard for me to breathe(I get sniffles mighty quick) so I didn't get many wheres. I never have problems like that in SG.
To be fair, there's no actual pumpkin in it. It's a mixture of various spices that smells vaguely pumpkin-esque, and it may have other squashes, but there's almost always not real pumpkin.
Welcome to America. Where "natural flavoring" can be literally anything and companies get away with not labeling that stuff, because f~~+ health, we need to protect the secret chemicals of our corporate overlords.
Reminds me of a Dimitri Martin standup: "I read ingredients on a box and it said made with natural and artificial flavoring. Why not just say flavoring? I mean, is there a third kind of flavoring? Do we have supernatural flavoring?"

Today's episode? My pharmacy (again).
As I mentioned, the moment they had my phone number they took to robo-dialing me every single day to tell me to renew my prescription. To the point of a simple "Press 1 to automatically renew". When I started hanging up without even listening, the calls increased in frequency to 2-3 per day.
All this for a prescription I did not need renewed; I had the bottle to prove it.
So I ended up blocking the phone number of my pharmacy. That says something deep, dark, and stupid right there. "My pharmacy is so intrusive that I had to block their number."
They finally figured it out. Now I'm getting 2-3 e-mails a day, marked as "urgent", that I need to refill my prescription. That is still not even halfway used.
Considering the behavior of the U.S.'s newly-deregulated pharma industry (the deregulation was within the last 10 years, I believe), is it any wonder we're a nation of overmedicators?

Not as creepy as 'Every Breath You Take'
Only the opening to Firefly makes me shudder.
It also fills me with a craving to physically take the sky from people.

Good lord. I gave them a quick reading check (5 questions about the book, each of which we'd discussed in class) worth a fraction of their usual homework assignments. You'd think I'd told them their entire grade hinged on it.

The kiddo does that too. I will usually just have him dictate the answers while I type when he brings those assignments home. He overthinks it when he has to write it down

No, while the milkmaids were out (homecoming weekend for the UW and all) it didn't stick around long enough to require shovelling.

I thought all his songs were about stalking his ex girlfriend and feeling sorry for himself because he was stalking his ex girlfriend.

Boo Berry is the best. And unnatural as everything. That is all.
(Fun exercise: define "unnatural" and make sure that you can't exclude something as a byproduct of humanity that doesn't needlessly specify humanity without also excluding octopi, beavers, spiders, various great apes, birds, and, generally speaking, any other tool-user or environment-alteration specialist. I'm sure it's possible. But it's humorously difficult. And, "stuff made by things that sweat" doesn't work, either...)

Hi, everyone. Had a rotten weekend. Caught a cold Friday night. Sick all day Saturday. Sick all day Yesterday. Sick today, and tired. Got no sleep at all last night. Woke up every two minutes or so coughing up junk into the toilet. At least, I've got medicine with me today.
Heal up quick John!
