"At one point late into the night, a song came on that neither of us recognized. She said This sounds like a waltz. Me, in my infinite wisdom, agreed and we started drunkenly waltzing. A couple seconds later, we noticed that this definitely wasnt a waltz. Neither of us recognized the beginning, but we both recognized Eminem. We froze for a moment, looked at each other, shrugged, and kept going. We waltzed to a hip-hop song. It can be done, but not without looking like idiots." -- "Red" in a comment on Wasted Blog, the blog associated with the comic strip Wasted Talent, 2006-12-22

Sorry I've been too busy to post much lately. Hoping to get a chance to write more soon. Meantime: a couple of observations.

When the cold, dry weather is making the skin on your hands crack, slicing habanero peppers is a very effective way of discovering the location of cracks you hadn't noticed yet. (Note that I said "effective", not "excellent".)

Something on or near my bed smells very strongly of brass. I'm not yet sure what.

Oh, and non-standard screw threads are annoying as all get out.
