People's Reasons for Sex

Someone did research on why people have sex. Turns out, college age men and women have the same reasons.

Best line:
"Since her study came out Tuesday, people are coming up with new reasons to have sex."

On being sick

I hate it.

Particularly when its the truly annoying type of sick which won't go away. I can handle a 24 hour bug where I sleep all day. No problem.

This past week has been hell. I developed a constant dry cough. It keeps me awake all night long, even with Robitussin. I've been trying various cough drops/ lozenges /beverages to try and get through this.

Best so far? Yogurt smoothies. Coats the throat, easy to digest (i.e. quick), gives needed vitamins.


I spent the weekend attempting to recover from this cold, so I watched a bunch of movies. I saw Impromptu for the first time. I think this came out in one of my no-time-for-movies-periods in high school. Quite a collection of theatre stars: Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Emma Thompson... plus several film regulars: Judy Davis, Hugh Grant. All portraying the start of George Sand's relationship with Frederic Chopin. I was never much of a George Sand afficionado, but, this movie actually made me curious enough to start looking at a couple of her novels.

1.5 month update...

Its been a busy 1.5 months. Lots of travel. I went on a training trip for work for a week, and then I went to USFA Nationals for 1.5 weeks. Had some good experiences, had some less good experiences.

My tenants have decided to not renew their lease, so, either I get my place sold or I need to get new tenants. The market still sucks, but, I might have a way around the market.... if things work out.

Oh, and I got a promotion at work. And I started doing serious training for fencing again.

There just aren't many details with much of this right now... I should be able to give some others later.
