Feeling super sick AND breaking out... yay. Is it possible for an ex-boyfriend to give you pimples 6 months after you break up? Hmmmm... Sources say, "YES".

It's "Groundhog's Day". Huh.
So, according to The Washington Post, "Punxsutawney Phil" has (dun, dun, dun) seen his shadow today, which, for reasons unknown, indicates that we will have 6 more weeks of winter.
What the FUCK, Phil?!? If that IS your real name?!?
[Feb. 2, 2012 - Groundhog Club handler John Griffiths holds up Punxsutawney Phil, the weather-prognosticating groundhog, during the 126th celebration of Groundhog Day at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa. Phil saw his shadow, forecasting six more weeks of winter weather.]
-----
Reasons why this holiday is BULL:
1.) Marmots are simply large squirrels. Literally, Family = Sciuridae.
Nobody trusts squirrels.
2.) The supposedly omnipotent "Groundhog" (Marmota monax) is also known as a "Land-Beaver", "Whistle-Pig", or, most importantly, a "Woodchuck". How can we possibly trust the word of a creature whose quantitative ability to “chuck wood” is already in question?
3.) Supposedly, if Phil sees his shadow, the whole United States gets 6 more weeks of winter. Seriously, Phil!!! Have you ever BEEN to Colorado?!? Well, F-me. We won't see the first signs of Spring until MAY. It will be -10° here for months… WTF does it matter if you see your f-ing shadow?!?
4.) Wait a minute... if you SEE your shadow, wouldn't that mean the SUN is out?!? I hate to be didactic, but wouldn't that REQUIRE an absence of clouds?!? In what way does this foreshadow a LONGER winter??? HUH?
5.) The range of Marmota monax only extends as far West as the Mississippi River. Professional WEATHERMEN can’t accurately predict the weather out here. Now, we expect a large SQUIRREL from the EAST coast to predict our weather for the next few MONTHS?!?
I rest my case, you dirty little rodent.

For some reason, the song "American Pie" by Don Mclean keeps popping up in my head...
"The day... the internet died."
"The day... the internet died."

The day "Google" and "Wikipedia" and a thousand other useful, informative sights that define the internet as we know it... GO DARK.
As Peter Griffin would say, "Holy CRAP!"
We must all band together and STOP SOPA/PIPA before it destroys life as we know it. And oddly enough, I'm not even being all that dramatic here...

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...!!! ;)
Why is it that the only song stuck in my head today is from "Futurama"?!?
"What day is today? It's Nibbler's Birthday! What a day for a birthday... Let's all have some cake!"

I was feeling kinda bummed out today about the whole job situation (i.e. my hours dwindling to almost NOTHING), so my neighbor, Jeff, hatched a plot to make me feel better...
What else could this plan possibly include but a trip to Barnes & Noble, a salted-caramel mocha, an apple tart, and a brand-new book? If a better cheer-up remedy exists, I certainly don't know what it is! ;)

Why is it that every single New Year's Day, I get this song in my head?!?
Somehow, no matter WHAT is going on in my life, it always seems appropriate...

Decided to go out with my friends Joe, Matt, Travis, Garry, etc. etc... WOW. Both SUPER fun, and a bad idea... ;)
While at "The Beach House" in Fort Collins with these dudes, this CRAZY (awsome) lady came up to us and said:
"You two... (indicating Matt and I) is this the first time you've met?"
Matt and I both dissembled a bit, saying, "Well, we've met once before, at a party... We know each other's names, that is."
She said, "I sense an ENERGY here!!! You two were MEANT to be together!!!"
Matt and I looked at one another, and said, collectively, "Ummmm..." ;)
Matt and I
The CRAZY lady and her sweet husband, who kept trying to lead her away, gently...
The night ended with Garry talking to "Oscar del Grupo", (apparently?) the Spanish name for "Oscar the Grouch?!? Ai ai ai...

Still haven't received ANY hours from MkLaren this week... But decided to take this opportunity to go snowshoeing in Rocky Mountain National Park instead. :)
A photo of me treckin' across frozen Emerald Lake, the last one in the chain.
Me, with the MUCH more spectacular Rocky Mountain Range in the background.

For the first time in my adult life, "Santa Claus" had not visited my apartment, and the stocking I'd hung on the kitchen stove (it's the hottest place in the house, no? *wink*) was not filled with treats...
And yet, there wasn't any yelling and screaming, either, as has ALWAYS been traditional at my family home. ;) I have to admit, though it was certainly tough being away from home for the first time since, well, EVER, it was also quite peaceful... I woke up, ate a BIG breakfast, and then went for a hike. Nonetheless, I did indulge some child-like impulses: I watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", one of my favorite ol' movies. :)
When I was a little kid, and yet NOT too young for excessive sarcasm, I used to tease my pseudo-step-father Dave that he was the Grinch and that our dog, Indie, was like Max from the cartoon... They do bear a STARTLING resemblance, except for the fact that Dave isn't actually green-skinned... LOL! *wink*
Oh, and another of our jokes (that Dave HIMSELF endorsed) was that he also bore a striking resemblance to Ebenezer Scrooge from “A Christmas Carol”… we both indulged this idea to the point where he would sign the cards on my Christmas gifts “BAH!…HUMBUG!!!” Either that, or “Are there no prisons?!? Are there no workhouses?!?” Our little private joke... Ah, I do miss those days. And, all evidence to the contrary, I’m NOT even being sarcastic!
Thus, in Dave’s honor, I shall also watch “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol”, an antiquated version that nonetheless remains the BEST interpretation of Dickens’ original script. ;) Undoubtedly, he would approve.

Clement Clarke Moore (1779 - 1863) - "'Twas the Night Before Christmas":
"He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
'Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!'"
