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.

1. SO not me, but dude, that'd be awesome. We should do that!

2. Yeah, but you burned fruit, so that counts.

3. I know what barometric is. What's hygro? I know hydro. And no, I don't feel like looking it up. Dictionary's on the other side of the room where all the purple cat hair is.

4. See #3. Ha-HA! Invent a robot vacuum. Or use the one -in our closet-.

5. Dude, this is gonna sound totally wacked, but go mix some lemon juice in water, and snort it up your nose. My grandmom gets me to do that... well, got me to do that. I don't get colds anymore. Feels fucked up, and you smell lemons for hours but totally cleans everything out. Whoosh.

6. Dude. Help me out here with the DVD player? I'm supposed to do a compare/contrast on classic lit vs a modern version and I can't get this stupid Knight's Tale DVD to work.

1) An awesome lab partner. Who would totally share her mutation if she could, poor lab-ie.

2) I think we need to tape basic cooking instructions to the wall above your kitchenette. Like, the light on the stove means it's on and so forth. I remember the time you burned fruit and the whole floor stank. (how in thell did you manage that anyway)

5) Barring that, take a very hot shower and let the steam unblock it. And why haven't you cured the common cold yet? Get cracking! Because I've had one for a week and it's Not Going Away.

Who says we haven't? The difficulty is the variation in mutant metabolisms - what works for energy projectors doesn't work for psis and what works for psis doesn't work for those with purely physical mutations and shapeshifters.

However, if you're not keen on the home remedies posited below, we can try some of the lower-range anti-histamines and work our way up. You know where to find the doctors.

1) Doc McCoy's the only one who's allowed to do that, and that's not his log in. Gimme a sec and I'll lock them out.

#2. or ask me to cook you something. I like your distractions.

#4. she does it on purpose. you just don't understand her plotting.

#5. chicken soup and a sauna will help.
