I'm chewing nicotine gum and it's god awful. It tastes like chai. And I hate chai. I would much rather be chewing a cigarette.

I wish I had something exciting to say, but the next 36 hours will be chock-full of anthropology, child psychology, world cinema, and speech. So that's where my mind is and will be for the next day or so. I need fun. I'll have to take some Nintendo ass-whippin' breaks.

Muffer is snoring really loud on the bed. She looks funny. She's basically upside down with her belly in the air and her head is buried somewhere. I can't see her face. What a furball. Maybe I could use a nap...move over Muffy....
