Of the day's annoyances, these...

[x_maker]

1) Latency on the lab servers is getting to the point where it's affecting the accuracy of my engineering simulations. Whoever's using the lab servers to host your multiplayer Counterstrike games, I will find you and superglue your thumbs to your own ass.

2) Latest attempts at scrambled eggs were unspectacular, but not a disaster. Will stick to fruit and oatmeal. I have not yet burned oatmeal.

3) Humidity is making my arm itch. Need to devise a barometric/hygrometric compensator.

4) Purple hair on my socks, Catseye! Shed on Kyle's side of the room, dammit!

5) Stupid winter cold making my sinuses feel like a thirty pound weight embedded in the middle of my face. Maybe someone needs to look into mutant-strength antihistamines.

See, that wasn't a failure. You got your lunch on, I got my powers back. I consider that an unexpected, yet positive, side effect.

I find it suspect that you're perfectly willing to experiment with an unknown mutant power, but a little thing like snorting lemon-water is out of the question. You've got odd priorities, mate.


Alternately, you can do what my mum always did -- slice up a chunk of ginger, boil it until the water goes yellow, and drink. Boil it right and you'll never have to worry about your sinuses again. (Snorting it isn't necessary, but it probably couldn't hurt.)

At the time, I felt any risks were negligible.

Hey, you know what, I'll bet your hand-mouth-slime stuff acts as an antibacterial agent, too. No one's complained of any infections yet, and you wouldn't think eating with your hands would be all that sanitary.

Mate, you are not snorting my hand-slime to kill your cold.

I was going to suggest having the doctors take a sample and see what kind of odd properties your weird and freaky bodily fluids have. But then I got the mental image of the docs having to milk your hand like a rattlesnake, and I laughed myself silly for three minutes.

Your interest in my bodily fluids is becoming increasingly suspect.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Well, someone keeps pushing me to consider biology as a more legitimate source of study, and while I have no overbearing concern with how your body produces the analgesic secretions, the properties they have are quite chemically intriguing.

I said nothing about you actually doing the studying. Don't you pin your fascination with this young mans fluids on me.

Look, you sasy you can fix anything, I just want you to put your money where your mouth is. That, and I think my cold has decided it wants to be the flu. If you'll excuse me, I'll be dying in my room.
