Look at me! I'm nearly thirty years old! I'm a prison for sperm! -- Jeff from Coupling

From The Sick Bed
Its been awhile since I've been able to post. It sucks being sick.

Granted, my illness is simply weather and a head cold, but it still sucks. I can only imagine those people who are really ill with SARS, AIDS, or some major disease.

Then here I am, whining about a head cold.

The comfort I've had is by watching my recordings of the Tour de France and the British comedy, Coupling. The show was such a hit in the UK that the US is bringing it to the States.

How else can you explain a series in which the guy who is dating the girl that went out with his best friend while her best friend goes out with her ex? Then there is the guy's ex who wants to go out with everyone, male or female, while the best friend would pay money in order to go out with somebody... anybody...

Come to think of it, I've got a friend like that. *cough Doombringer cough* Hmmm...

Anyways, between my coughing and my laughing, I think I woke my neighbors on several occasions.

Parking Lot Adventures
I know I have an issue with my road rage, but I usually keep it in check, especially around the parking lot. After all, how bad can it get in the parking lot?

That changed today.

I was picking up lunch today from a local suchi place that happened to be next door to a supermarket. I had just gotten into the Jeep and started the engine when a white station wagon flies thru the parking lot, cutting between the parking spaces.

The male senior citizen behind the wheel was determined to beat this little Honda Civic thru the lot, but despite the fact that the Civic was obeying the law and driving thru the given lanes at a slow speed, the older station wagon was no match for the newer vehicle.

The Civic moved across unaware of the white predator that was ready to plow thru my Jeep and the other two cars next to me.

What the hell is it with old people driving thru markets?!

Again, another situation in which the other person was lucky that I wasnt carrying any weapons.

Out in The Yard
Mom leaves kid in the trunk. Now I know that parental units have always had that urge, but damn...

* Remember how you made me crazy?
* Remember how I made you scream?
