It's not fat; it's marbling

So, I'm really, really glad that I no longer have any production support responsibilities or I might actually be faced with canceling my departure to Istanbul on Friday.

Also good that I am going on vacation as I suspect there's going to be a lot of shouting, analysis, process reviews, and tense conversations over the next couple of weeks.

Part of me wishes I were in the middle of it (so long as I wasn't a cause for the problems) but on the other hand I get to go to bed tonight.

I came close to buying a Sulcata Tortoise the other day from a pet store here. But now that Leonardo DiCraprio has one, I don't want one any more. Although, my pet store was selling them for $299.99.

I always recommend against buying pets that will probably outlive you even when you buy them in your 30s. Though a tortoise will be much less annoying than a macaw.

I like Henry's market because of the aisle with bins of delicious, reasonably priced, and healthy snacks.

I love Henry's market because the next aisle over has many of those same snacks coated in chocolate.

Their chocolate covered honeycomb is delicious (and cheaper than Disneyland's chocolate covered honeycomb).

Yay! It's Friday of the worst week ever.

On Monday I managed to:
1) Get shoe polish all over a brand-new shirt and tie (worn for a whole hour). $150.
2) Took my loose watch off my wrist in the car, intending to throw it on the passenger seat, but released it too early, which shattered my windshield. $190 in repairs.
3) While immersing the above shirt in water in the sink after going home to change, accidentally left a small stream of water still going into the sink while I was on the phone, which overflowed, flooding the carpet and requiring me to rip up the carpet to dry it out.

This was all before noon on Monday.

And the week didn't get much better from there.

But it's over!!! Happy fasting, oh ye of Jewish faith! :)

How strong are you?!? Did it make the bionic sound when you did it?

Well, I *have* been going to the gym more recently -- it must have hit the windshield on the knob of the watch, so all the force went into that small impact point. It left a spider-web pattern about the size of a bread plate, and another foot-and-a-half crack coming off of it.

That'll teach me to get mad at inanimate objects. ;)

Wow, Cherny, sounds like you should get rid of the excess clutziness in your life. Consider Ju Koon. It's tomorrow. Tribe members get discounts.
