shanmonster | Go Away and Never Come Back!

My cold is leaving me. Buh-bye! I was able to breathe through my nose last night which meant that when I awoke, my lips didn't resemble a moonscape. They're still chapped, but not painfully so. I still have a nasty sinus headache that makes my head feel like an overwound toy, but I expect that feeling will fade within the next day or two. I sure hope so!

I teach a children's dance class tonight. I hope I can maintain better energy levels than I did during the last two dance classes.

I've been spending the day doing housework. This is unusual, but good. I know I have a livingroom and kitchen out there, and if I can only excavate them more thoroughly, I'm sure to find them.

Princess Tubby is becoming more and more unhappy. Although she was relatively energetic this morning while begging for treats, she cried while eating. My poor little buddy....

And now for some happier things:

The 2005 Rugby Calendar: Oooooh. This makes me want to start watching rugby (NSFW, 'cause there's too much gorgeous man flesh).

GIANTmicrobes: I hadn't realized my cold was so gosh-darned cute.

Fighting Perverts: What do you get when you mix sexual fetish with the Power Rangers? You get the Fighting Perverts (worksafe as long as you don't go exploring the hyperlinks) (thanks, Warren Ellis).

Conference Bike: It's actually a trike, but that's beside the point (thanks, f00dave).

Another "Chupacabra" Shot in Texas: I heart cryptozoology.

America's Gorgeous Girls National Pageant Site: This is just plain creepy. I don't think little girls ought to look like that. I don't even think women ought to look like that.
