So yeah, my party seems like it was a virus bath - someone must have been walking their cold and not realized it, and now many of us...well it might be random. Lots of people at both school and work are sick, so it's going round. Right round. Like a record baby.

Temp down to 99F even w/o the ibuproferin. I had the unpleasant experience of coughing up a hairball this AM, but I'm going to avoid the Dr. and let my immune system get a workout if I can. Amazing the number of people saying to take antibiotics for a virus. Wrong cure aside, I work out, full body - and I want my body to be as strong as possible. I can't remember the last time I had a temperature, it's been over a year if not 2-3, so it's probably better that I get sick once in a while just to keep the system used to working.

Fuck work - I'm calling in as soon as someone answers the phone. On top of not really having any pressing deadlines, why would I be showing loyalty right about now? Aren't I supposed to be demotivated?

Thanks for the gratuitus *handjobs* and *oralsexes* I am pleased, as is my bunny :)

FAT! I got my fat scale in the mail, and I'm not sure what it says. If I'm very athletic I have 10.6-11% body fat, if I'm moderately athletic I have 16-17% body fat. 10 is peachy, hell when I saw that I nearly downed a box of truffles, but the mirror disagrees with the measure provided. I think my measure is around the 16% mark. Now, what should I be?

My criminal law class might rock. My libertarian version of Lewis Black of a prof is dead-set against victimless crime issues, noting his opinion that crime sunk half while enforcement doubled. Some use that argument to say enforcement works, he says anyone can view the order of events and see crime was reduced in advance of sentences - then he tears into how the jails are filled witn non-violent drug offenders. This could be a fun class. Then today the Supreme Court strikes down mandatory sentencing, which makes sense once you realize it wasn't being used anyway. Judges would just convict people of lesser offenses even if the evidence pointed towards another crime - to avoid the sentence that made no sense.

Advice sought, and no blame or thanks will be granted:
It's retirement account time again, and I'm thinking of going from my socially responsible index (Domini DSEFX) to Jensen JENSX, Mairs power Growth (MPGFX) or just opening my ETrade account to a Roth IRA as well and trying to actually buy stocks. My individual stock portfolio is outperforming all my other investments (except my house), but I lack the time to really sit around searching stock and company information.
Where do I plunk my bling?

In other investment news, WFHS is gone - no really this time, it's a hispanic station. Do you think that anyone pop investors will notice that selling out to the hot new thing is worthless in the long-term? HFS gave up on their long-built fanbase to suck in brainless 20-year-old wannabe rebels, which flashed and crashed as phases are apt to do. XM is filling up with loyal listeners of weird music genres who will pay cash to hear not-crap.
