My aches and pains are starting to fade. Tonight at work I got a call from a pervert. Or so I thought. The voice was very deep, but it had a strange resonance to it. "Thanks for calling. How can I help you?" I asked. There was a moment of heavy breathing. "Hey, baby." More breathing. "What are you wearing?" The voice sounded... wrong. I glanced over at my supervisor. "Just the usual," I replied noncommittally. "Details, baby, details." "Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. "There sure is, baby." Breathing. "I want to stroke your pretty blonde hair." That caused my eyebrows to raise a bit. I do have blonde hair. "Oh really?" "Uh huh." Breathing. "How's that cat... Jaws... how's she doing?" I grinned, knowing this had to be someone I knew. (Or I had a stalker. I've never had a stalker before, so maybe I'm just naive.) "She's fine. She did cough up a hairball yesterday." "Ewwww!!!" The exclamation of disgust sounded odd, coming from such a deep, scary voice. "I really didn't need to know that!" I laughed. "Sorry." I noticed my supervisor looking at me. "So who is this?" A laugh. "It's H. Isn't this thing cool?" H (the Assistant Operations Manager) is a very thin, tall lady. Suddenly I remembered her talking about a phone she had bought which changed your voice. Imagine the possibilities! Order pizza using the alien voice. "Six billion pepperoni pizzas, please. Um, do you deliver to Saturn?" Call your mom using the deep scary voice. "Hi. I'm dating your daughter. Call I call you mom?" Call the bank using the metallic robotic voice. "This is ATM Unit 154-65K. I am out of money. Please send more." Ok, so I'm easily amused. grin I've been doing some writing finally! Nothing serious, but at least I'm getting over my "fear of the big blank screen" thing. Woohoo!

Looking Up This time of year is great for star gazing. The skies are usually clear, and the cold air makes the stars look very bright and non-twinkly.High in the northern sky in the evening is the constellation Cassiopeia (the Queen of Ethiopia). It looks a lot like the capital letter "M" at this time of year. According to myth, the Queen was so vain that she offended the sea nymphs. To get their revenge, the nymphs tied her to her throne and placed her in the heavens. As she revolves around the North Star, she is sometimes upside-down. (I suppose she gets some serious head rushes.)
______ of the Day Today's sick question is: Does Wolverine (from the X-Men) ever accidentally hurt himself while picking his nose? Or while going to the bathroom?
Spinning "Guilty" by Gravity Kills, off their self-titled album.
