blah blah blah alive and kicking

I'm in such a state!

States in which I've been

Now, it is true that not every state in which I've been is clearly marked on this map. Insanity for example, knows no borders, but I bring that with me from place to place so I decided not to confuse the issue any further.

As is true of many of my left coast kindred souls, my US geography catagories are;

WA, OR, CA,

the middle,

down south,

and

back east somewhere.

Being from over here on the coast it's never really made sense to me that people refer to states that are clearly on the eastern half of the country as "the mid-west."

If you ask me, the mid-west starts at Colorado.

What is the problem here?

Are people still operating off maps from before the Lewis and Clark expedition?!?

Merriweather would be very offended that his hard work is being so pointedly ignored.

Missouri is the mid-east if ANYTHING, people, come on!

Anyway, here are a couple more maps to cheer you on your way.

Aaargh, mateys, you be knowing what day it is?

Aye! It be talk like a pirate day.

I'm so adjective

Join me for some Toothpaste for Dinner?

I purchased some organizer thingees for my 'puter desk.
You might not be able to tell, but this is the "After" picture

Imagine what it looked like before, hmm?

I have been ill *cough, cough*

I skipped the barfing sound effect, just for you, because I love you THAT much.
So here is a pic
Six days into this I feeling horribe I finally decided to run to the doctor.

I hate going to the doctor and paying to have them tell me to rest and drink fluids. I already KNOW that. If I am going to bother with the trip and the co-pay I want to make sure I've got something impressive.

Though this may not be a positive trait I'd rather hear,

"I can't believe you waited this long to come in!" than

"You came in for this?"

That is if we are discussing me as the patient, if we're discussing my Things, the rules of evidence are different and Mr. Man, well... he has his own deal going.

Anyway, I am much better now, and my breathe is WAY better.

Just in time for school.

I have an obsession for school/office supplies that is way beyond unhealthy. Back to school time for me is like New Year's to alcoholics. Oh yeah, baby. YEAH!
