Friday blarg

• Happy Year of the Horse/Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year/all that
• Hasta la vista, January. I really never noticed you were here, what with the weird, summer-like weather and dry conditions!
• Dear FSM: if you would be so kind as to send us rain, that would be really nice.
• Can't seem to get rid of this goddamn cough. Sigh.
• Dear Mother Nature: if you would be so kind as to send us rain, that would be really nice.
• 2014 is not, thus far, filling me with joy. I'm getting slightly-numb to bad news now.
• So, Yahoo's emails got compromised. That's after Target and some other big store got their data compromised. And the NSA is pretty much illegally spying on everyone and their cousins' cousins. I swear, it's a wonder anyone bothers to use the Internet anymore. Maybe we should just go back to barter and letters delivered by someone on a pony.
• Seriously. Someone send us some rain here. This is getting kinda scary.
