A Simple Yet Functional Journal

mood: sick

music: Breathe In - Frou Frou

You know, it's not that I hate Christmas Music. I've even been known to throw Xmas in Frisco on while I work. But the 24 hours, 7 days a week, of the same 30 or so song starting the week before Thanksgiving drives me into a twitching hatred of all living beings. As it would be a bad thing for me to act of suicidal/homicidal ideation while behind the wheel, I have to find alternate radio arrangements in the car from late November through New Year's. As a result, I've been listening to NPR a fair amount, which plays the BBC World Service in the mornings.

That's all a rather long lead-up to this random phrase I heard during the morning commute:

The world's tallest man has saved two dolphins by using his long arms to reach into their stomachs and pull out dangerous plastic shards.

So, um. Yeah.

I have a handful of recipes for Christmas Cookies, but there are even more in this thread at Monkeyfilter
