I think I have one of those fevers that doesn't actually raise your temperature but just makes you miserable and whiny.

"I'm taking a principled stand against idealism."

I don't know what to call that effect around the moon right now, but if you haven't seen it go outside and look straight up.

It's not Christmas without Chewbacca!

Its just not a holiday weekend without a trip to urgent care.

About 4 boxes of comics and games destroyed by basement seepage. I'm not normally one to diss the weather, but screw you, rain. Screw you.

Rules I Never Thought I'd Make #17: No rappeling off the balcony without proper equipment.

I'm reasonably certain that I'm watching an anime called "Sgt. Frog," though it is equally likely that those tater tots contained LSD.

"Radical Self-Reliance" is one of those principles that sounds great on paper, until you realize who it is you will be relying upon.

"Shallow graves for shallow people..."

The antibiotics and probiotics are fighting for control of my body, and I'm honestly not sure which side I'd prefer to see win.

Were I to walk into the military surplus store with broken tent poles, I'm quite sure I wouldn't receive the same level of service she has.

Bats evicted from attic, not sure where to base crime-fighting activities. Move to basement? Cricket-Man just doesn't have the same ring.
