Mmm. Bacon.
'Nuff said.
*EDIT*
So I'm sitting here with my Reese's and my Tropicana orange juice and my Sun Chips, munching away while watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
And I'm thinking about Christmas.
It was weathering today. I call it that because it can't make up its mind. It's snowing, sunny and drizzling all in one hour. The next its gloomy and threatening thunderstorms. Weathering. What is it with weather men and not being able to accurately predict the forecast? Can someone please explain that? It's ridiculous. They have degrees in the subject, for God's sake.
Anyway, weathering. Yeah. I don't have a problem with it. I love the rain and the snow and the gloomy cloud banks and even the chill wind cracking the skin on my knuckles. The dry cold is OK. Maybe it's the wrinkled old people who take ages doing anything, blaming their inefficiency on arthritis. Or maybe it's the disgruntled parents with cold, sick, screaming kids--drippy, plugged up noses, snot running down their chins and onto their winter jackets. Maybe it's the way smokers stand out on the sidewalk, stubbornly defying the weather just to have their cigarette. Maybe it's those ambitious shoppers who believe they can crack the system by buying their Christmas gifts/decorations/cards three months in advance (then promptly misplacing them). Whatever the reason, people irritate me in the winter.
On another subject, my mp3 player died this morning. That also irritated me today. And I somehow left my phone on the kitchen counter. So I couldn't call anyone, and that made me think about how dependent we are on technology. There are five computers in my house alone. Five. Three of which are in one room. Now, why exactly we need so much internet access is beyond me. But we have learned that looking something up on the web is much simpler than going to the library, searching through volume after dusty volume only to find that their sources are too outdated to help. Yeah. Technology is pretty chill.
Also, here are some links that caught my eye/made me chuckle:

And...that's it.
Enjoy.

People also irritate me in the winter. I think it's mostly because of the complaints about snow, though. And I for one actually like leafing through volume after dusty, forgotten volume... It makes the information feel more real, and the search far more rewarding. Maybe even a little epic.

Hmm, indeed, sir. But my point still stands: it is simpler to look it up online.
