Good-bye, forty-plus. I will miss you. A lot.

I'm sorry you felt that you felt you had to sacrifice the most helpful mental therapy you've ever found for yourself, and I hope you care enough about yourself to come back someday.

Ganked with absolutely no malice aforethought from The Cranky One:

My Favorite Comic Strips, in No Particular Order, And Why:

Well, hers might not have been in a particular order, but mine are alphabetical, 'cos that's how I have my bookmarks and feeds sorted.

• Dog Eat Doug: 'Cos Dog (Sophie) and Doug (Doug) are adorable, is why.
• For Better or For Worse: I have been reading this strip since Michael was a baby and Farley was the resident dog.
• Foxtrot: I discovered Foxtrot in a comics anthology. The particular comic went as follows:
    Panel 1 ...
      Jason: Dad, how do you spell "Ferrari?"
    Panel 2 ...
      Mr. Fox: F-E-R-R-A-R-I. Why?
      Jason: I'm making my Christmas list.
    Panel 3 ...
      Mr. Fox: Aren't you a little young for a Ferrari?
      Jason: I thought maybe you could drive it till I turn sixteen.
    Panel 4 ...
      Mrs. Fox: ARE YOU INSANE?
      Mr. Fox: But he's been so good this year.
  Color me hooked.
• Get Fuzzy: I am Satchel's bitch. Heh.
• Kevin and Kell: One of the best-kept secrets of the comics world. It's a crime, how comparatively few people know about this gem.
• Kit and Carlyle: One day, Marn, Eh wrote about having made really horrible meatloaf, that she wound up feeding to her cats. That very same day, Kit served Carlyle a failed meatloaf, and I noticed how much Kit looks like Marn, Eh — so much so, in fact, that I wondered if the cartoonist knows her.
• Off the Mark: 'Cos The Far Side is gone.
• Peanuts: Snoopy rocks my world.
• Reality Check: Sick, demented, and twisted. My kind of humor.
• Speed Bump: It is what it is. You're cruising through the carpark of thought and you need to take a second to figure out what you just hit.

Totally won more Blingo bling just by being fucked up on pretty white pills asleep whilst MG was surfing the 'net.

A few people have replied to me when I announce such things by saying, "Well, I never use the Blingo because I never win." Fine with me. I'm more than happy to collect all y'all's prizes.

So I have had no energy for cooking, and have also been loathe to prep food when I'm not totally convinced I'm not contagious, which means we have, for the past couple of days, either been fending for our individual selves, or eating fast food.

I think I'm done with that, though, because I got the oddest Chinese food ever, the night before last: ordered hot and sour soup and lo mein; got home, opened the bag, and found a container of plain beef broth (not on their menu) and another container of mixed vegetables with neither noodles nor rice.

Then, last night, we went to Duchess and I ordered a steak wrap. I shall just say that, what Duchess does well (hot dogs with the works, and deli turkey sandwiches on whole wheat) they do very well, and what they do badly (chili, and steak wraps) makes you projectile hurl they do very badly indeed.

I can't decide whether these establishments were in a rush and forgot crucial ingredients, or whether they were just fucking with my head. Either way, I'm cooking for myself tonight.
