In lieu of a well-constructed post, enjoy these morsels of my day, individual vignettes of a man in a cold place:
* I cannot stop drumming on my desk with these heavy plastic chopsticks I brought to work today. The rabid fans who must know every detail of my daily life will be pleased to know that I am playing the drum line from Cracker's "Seven Days," a song which has the finest-sounding snare drum I have ever heard. And I've heard a lot of snare drums, believe you me.
* I received an email from a company advertising a "breast enhancement" product called Bloussant. This may be the greatest product name I have ever seen.
* Oh, today's post brought the most lovely thing I've received in a long time: a T-shirt from the online shoppery of Achewood, courtesy of Barbie. Achewood is the funniest comic strip that is not "Garfield," although both involve cats. And alcohol.
* To counteract the effects of the snowy landscape I view through my office window, I created an alternate reality with a dry-erase marker:
Not only is it pretty to look at, but the fumes from the marker make me feel like I've had a few mai tai's.

Though perhaps if you prayed more to your Buddy Jesus, things would get better..
I'm just saying.
