Apparently, getting old decided to catch up with me all at once. A myriad of small physical defects are ganging up on me (suddenly highly sensitive-to-cold teeth, an inconveniently burned spot on my gumline, cuts under my fingernails). I suppose I don't have much room to bitch, aishlynn got bitten and kicked by a three month old (25lb) warthog and has some interesting bruises (it looks like I do a shitty job of beating her ;-) ).

Yep, definitely a Monday out there.

Going to the dentist on Wednesday anyway to have the rest of my old silver fillings replaced (should be fun but expensive, since insurance is primarily interested in covering preventative cleanings, not repair work; bah).

In other news, I'll be on the clock starting before 6am Tues & Thurs doing a hardware and software rollout.

Weekend was spent in glorious sloth (other than mowing the lawn and going to the gym).

I'm too busy to give this a good shot, but why the hell not.

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. Put it in your journal and continue, or for the love of BOB, break the cycle, whatever.
