A small scouting party of ants are trying hard to get into the contents of my cherry red cold syrup...could it be that they have tiny ant colds or are they drawn to the intense sugary scent...or both?

Ha!..now I will be able to navigate labyrinths and difficult terrain with my Robotic Rats and my army of Giant Stinking Plants will be seen by curious visitors from around the world...

Dining Advisory: Last weekend I went to Red Lobster and spent way too much money on way too mediocre food. The only good thing for me was the beer(Corona) and some alright biscuits...everything else was real ordinary and less for the price. Three of the four of us felt the same, except for the person who wanted to go in the first place(this person has been placed on food advise probation). The place was extremely busy and there was a line as we were leaving...I don't understand why people LOVE this place..but it seems they do...I will not be returning for a long time if I can help it...

Feeling used, bruised and generally beat up from retail con action this past weekend, not to mention sick. The way too cold climate control of the facility along with the thousands of participantes walking about usually results in me getting some type of bug each year, but I think I'm feeling better already. While having the Great American eggs/bacon/pancakes breakfast this morning, I egged on a university policewoman to go for the Feta cheese in her omelette, she was waffling, but I was able to convince her. After a few bites she thanked me profusely for the suggestion. I left happy knowing I had brought another human being closer to the joys of Feta. After breakfast I went to buy some books, something really amusing, something gothic and something historical.
