When you know it's a good thing you *didn't* go to clinical: you read the CNN.com headline "Phoenix attacks target walkers, bicyclists, women" and you honesttoGod say to yourself for a split second "hmm, I didn't realize there were any phoenixes besides Fawkes". The sneezing/snot factory thing wouldn't have helped while on the floor either. Not like I'll be resting, though: tons of online research to do, two projects to work on...gawddam.

Also: HOSHIT. Anyone paying attention knew it was coming, but that doesn't make me feel any more comfortable with what's bound to go down.
