The Battle of Krusteaz

General State of Being:
Stir crazy - it has officially been raining ALL day, and the absense of my beloved automobile leaves me feeling quite the hermit.
Cold - but sadly, in denial about being Cold-In-California, and therefore, unwilling to acknowledge that there is a thermostat just inches from my reach.

Song of the Day:
"Thicker Than Water" - Todd Hannigan, Thicker Than Water soundtrack

Today's Low:
The Battle of Krusteaz
Remember the ants who were staging the coup? They won the battle this morning. I laid in bed for an extra hour this morning, just contemplating the meaning of life and pondering the karma-implications for those of my friends who started the year with or without a kiss at the stroke of midnight. Anyway...the ants... Finally, when my stomach was speaking louder than my brain, I anxiously tromped downstairs to make my ritual batch of Sunday morning pancakes. I opened the cupboard and, to my utter HORROR, there were thousands of ants everywhere. Over and in three boxes of ceral, dominating the brown sugar and the instant rice, and worst of all, delighting in a morning frolic through my pancake mix. Bastards!

Today's High:
Remeber the ants who were staging the coup? I won the war. I Raided the entire kitchen, scooped their dead, mangled bodies into the mass grave of my kitchen sink and then, just to spite them, went to Andronico's and bought a lovely new box of pancake mix which I proceeded to store in an airtight ziplock AFTER, of course, I had my Sunday morning pancakes.

Insignificant Fact:
My fingers are numb

I watched an episode of MASH on TV this afternoon. Having not run into it for a long time, it was a great surprise. For some unexplicable reason, I absolutely love that show.
