Random bullets of silliness

Before I get down to the serious work of the serious thinking on the serious topics . . .

--Guess what I brought home yesterday? Meet my new boyfriend. (Yes, I do realize it looks like a giant smushy bright-pink dildo. Leave me alone. It's a body pillow, and I love him it!)

--South Beach Diet, Phase Four. Expected weight loss per week: 1.5 lbs. I am not kidding. I think it may have something to do with the mad energy of a liver trying to prevent spontaneous combustion of the body.

--After a Rubik's hiatus of about a year or so, I have once again solved the diabolical cube. And, yes, this counts as "work."
