Rough around the edges

I would very much like to be rid of the post-nasal drip making me cough repeatedly this morning. Con*Crud, you have been told to fuck off. Make with the fucking off.

My legs have rediscovered the joy of DOMS in the wake of Sunday's squats. They are going to be told to suck it up, because I'm going running at lunchtime whether they like it or not, and deadlifting and bench pressing when I get home.

Engaging green tea and honey protocol.

Paul Bloom, a Yale psychologist, puts it, “Philosophers have often looked for the defining feature of humans — language, rationality, culture and so on. I’d stick with this: Man is the only animal that likes Tabasco sauce.”

Reading this before lunch was a bad idea. I am frigging *ravenous* now, and I haven't worked out yet.
