What I’ve Been Doing:

Working.

At the day job.

A lot.

At least the overtime is nice.

In NYC

I’m in NYC this weekend for me and B’s anniversary. Going out to see “The Producers” and actually look around the city a bit.

Yea, I’ve been commuting into this city for a year and.. haven’t seen much of the city.

But hey, if you only saw your SO once a month, what do you think you’d be staying in and doing every weekend?

Broken Out & Busted Down

If I have to run one more report, I’ll vomit.

Pretty exhausted. Left work early with the, “It’s Valentine’s Day,” excuse. Got some food. Taking a nap.

Just too much going on over here to keep my head on straight.

Here’s What’s Happening

Survived my time in Indy – anybody know any good telecommunications CMs? We’re hiring.

In other news, K moved out the rest of her stuff yesterday, and me and Jenn are hitting Ikea and Target today to re-stock the house with furniture (we have no couch, microwave, or kitchen island now). We’ve been trying to think of what to do with K’s empty room, and I’m thinking I may make it a map room. I’ve been meaning to draw an updated wall map of the fantasy saga world for some time, but putting it in the middle of the house meant it got mud tracked in on it and got in everyone’s way. So I may revive that project and make the extra room a drawing room.

The people at Best Buy managed to save the stuff on one of my computers, but not the other – which I anticipated, so I’m not too heartbroken, but it means I lost all of the music I stole from my buddy Julian in South Africa. That sucks, but is survivable. I should have a copy of one of the stories I need to get in the mail by March 1st, so I’m happy.

I’m spending my morning doing God’s War edits, working on a writing contract passage, and copying all of my CDs to my new computer.

Things are getting better. Slowly but surely.

Knock on wood.

So, Where *Is* That Male Pill?

Administration of testosterone to men markedly reduces sperm counts and is a very efficient and well tolerated method of contraception. Combinations with progestogens or with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists are even more effective and suggest that hormonal contraception in men is feasible and may be as effective as the currently used methods.

It Only Took 30 Years to Figure This Out…

The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet reduces the risk of getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet has no effect.

The $415 million federal study involved nearly 49,000 women ages 50 to 79 who were followed for eight years. In the end, those assigned to a low-fat diet had the same rates of breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks and strokes as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers are reporting today.

AHHAh AHah hHAah aha aha haa

And, once again, it’s a study composed entirely of women. Because it’s really the fat women in this country that we’re all so terribly scared of.

Last Day in Indy

For awhile, anyway. These are always long days. I’m behind on some other projects. I’ll get caught up this weekend.

70,000 Dead Women

The International Planned Parenthood Federation estimates 19 million women worldwide will have an unsafe abortion in 2006; a similar number took this risky step last year – 70,000 died.

Off to Indy

I’ll be in Indy from Tuesday-Thursday this week.

Oh, I can barely contain my enthusiasm.

Why is it I work at this job again?

Oh, yea, cause it pays me to screw off half the year. The rest of the year it’s… Indianapolis.
