Pry It From My Cold, Dead Hands
I've been experiencing some curious sensations lately. It's hard to describe at times, though I can at least attest that it's not another round of
Hand, Foot & Mouth. I've been feeling itchy, and a few odd rashes have appeared on various parts of my body. My skin's grown pale...well, paler than usual. It's been harder to think. My legs aren't working the way they used to, reducing me to a lumbering shuffle.
And I've had the most peculiar hankering for brains. Not on a sandwich, with mustard or pickles, or to dip into chocolate fondue. To quote Jonathan Coulton: "All I want to do is eat your brains."
This vexed me greatly. Not the whole 'wanting to eat brains' thing. Let's be honest: eating a customer who's been annoying me is both satisfying and at the same time an easy way to hide the body. No, what vexed me was the 'why' of it all. Why was I suddenly having this craving for craniums?
Then Dejana sent me a link to a message board, and it all became perfectly clear:

On a kinda related note, I LOVED the Tales of the DreamWorld fic that Lord Chaos wrote. When i went to look for his fics today, someone had up that he had passed away. Does anyone know if this is true?So...apparently I'm dead. That explains the brains.
But at least I'm still enjoying the finer things in life...unlife...what do you call enjoying your post-life life (and not in an afterlife kind of way)?
I'll admit I'm incredibly amused by this. Would I be allowed to perform my own eulogy if this rumor persisted to the point where people held an online funeral for me? (Preferably one with Viking Lolcats.) And would there be an online salad bar I could enjoy afterwards?
This past Wednesday, Mel & I celebrated her birthday. I promised her cake. It turned out to be a lie. Alas. (On a sidenote: $30 for a Snickers cake?! Good lord, my shoes didn't cost that much! ) But Mel did get the last 3 of 26 Classic Winnie-the-Pooh alphabet letters, and also the Nadesico DVD box.
And a story. If there was going to be anything resembling a
Today's Lesson, it would be: it's harder to hide writing a story for your wife for 2 years than you think.
In the meantime, work continues on the Confic, the Head Office continues to vex me in a "hey, let's have them rearrange the store every week!" kind of way, and our dog is sulking over the fact that she no longer has any snow to stomp through.
Winter is done though, right?
Right?Labels: dead man blogging, happy berfday to Mel
