I heard that one can live on eggs alone.  I wonder if that's really true?  If it is, I really don't need to buy any other groceries besides egg nog, right?

The Frisco Kid.  Saw it once and would like to see it again.  And write slash for it. :)  Is there any?  There must be.

Why was I thinking of it?  My brother sometimes called his old red VW rabbit (which he inherited when our grandfather died) "The Rabbi" because it had lost the 't' off the end of it's little metal name thingy.  The damn car always seemed as though it was on it's deathbed, but it just continued to run, and he in fact drove it from Maine to California.  He conceived this thought of doing a paintjob on the side of it: a rabbi with blazing sixguns.  Unfortunately it met it's inevitable end there in CA when California parking cops towed it and, seeing just a heap of junk, not an amazing car that continued against all adversity, crushed it. 

Coming up with these thoughts to try to get myself distracted from how fucking depressed and exhausted I am so that I can motivate to get out and get the groceries and laundry done.  I should already be done with the groceries and on my way to doing laundry, and I'm not.  Tell you the truth, I'm scared to go get my car, because I'm afraid my neighbor will see me.  The one who yelled at me last night.  I don't think he'll come yell at me again, but I don't want him to even see me.  To the extent that I'm thinking about what other coat I could wear so he won't recognize me.  My yellow Bean jacket and red-and-black beret are rather distinctive.

Yes, I know I'm a lame dork.  I'm very aware of that at the moment. 

fill out a poll for a cranky person?

(But since I don't have a paid account, you have to put your answers in the comments.)

At some point I probably will read, anyway.  What should I read?

- "Skipping Christmas"
- a fic which you now have the opportunity to recommend to me.

yay, ice removal! :)

Of course I couldn't actually clear one space down to the tar.  I was doing a fairly descent job on one space, then decided I should break down some ridges in the 2 or car lengths behind that, and a girl came up and parked in the space I'd nearly had done.  To her credit, at least she asked if it was okay, saying she wouldn't be long.   But then the light was failing and I was tired, so I hung it up.  My arms are buzzing.

Theoretically, if everyone on the street cleared more than their own car space we'd have a fully clear street which everyone could park in.   Unfortunately what happens is, you clear a space and someone else parks in it, so you never have any incentive to clear anything, because you never see anything out of it.

Still, I think there's hardly anything better for my soul than snow removal. :)   (As long as nobody's yelling at me about it.)   I feel a lot better after driving a shovel down, repeatedly. 

Oh, darn... who was it who was who was saying the other day that there should be a special Maine martial art that uses snow shovels?  Was it my Eor, or someone at work?   There's a kind of mind-clearing meditational aspect to it.   ETA: It was eor. :)
