The weather in Texas? Hot... pretty much just hot.

I'm not a regular news watcher, but caught a glimpse of the weather forecast on channel 5 here in Dallas. It struck me with it's consistency.

Font of Problems

At dinner tonight my younger sister mentioned the marriage book she is currently reading in preparation for her wedding. One of the chapters is about how marriage won't solve all of your problems.

What? Who thinks this? I always thought marriage was a source of problems.

I thought getting married was like wildcatting for problems.  And you're guaranteed to hit paydirt.

Like fishing with dynamite. What a beautiful little lake this is, I want to marry it BOOM! Oh my, look at all the little problems floating to the surface. Somehow it's just not as idyllic anymore. Thanks, marriage.

Shampoo Bar Graph

My breasted companion was sweet enough to get me some shampoo. I was about out. She picked up two bottles at Bath and Body Works. Buying two made the price half as asinine. Still asinine, but half as much so.

One of the bottles is called Eucalyptus Spearmint: Relaxing Blend. The other, Orange Ginger: Energizing Blend. For whatever reason I started to buy in to the fact that I should use the former when I needed to chill, the latter when I was in need of a boost.

Now, weeks later, I've ended up with what is essentially a visual shampoo bar graph in my shower window sill. The shampoo levels measure the relative frequency with which I am tired vs the frequency with which I am in overdrive. My tired to zippy ratio is like 3 to 1. I think the Relaxing Blend would be virtually unused were it not for night showers when I feel like I should be winding down to sleep.

So it's pretty much like I thought. I'm tired all the time. I've got data to back it up now.
