cafeteria critique, part 2

today, i got a chicken caesar wrap. as mister_borogove had told me, lunch was much cheaper without the chips and drink -- $2, in fact.

as for the wrap itself, the tortilla is a bit too chewy, there's not enough caesar flavor, the parmesan is that nasty domestic stuff, and they've used spring mix instead of romaine. overall an unsatisfying experience.

still, not so bad for two bucks.

please, mr. president, tell me again how the economy is improving?

sweaty-heads unite

is there any reason not to have an antiperspirant shampoo? i mean, will your head explode from the internal sweat-pressure or something? because i've been reading message boards and websites about excessive sweating all afternoon, and so many of the posters have the same sweaty-head problem i do. now, i'm not just talking a little damp. i'm talking about where i'm walking through an air-conditioned store in a tank top and khakis, and i'm sweating so much it's running down my arms, trickling down my spine and between my breasts, and actually dripping from my hair. sometimes when i blow-dry my hair, the sweating will kick in and i'll sweat so much the blow dryer can't keep up.

yeah, i'm obsessing about yet another health issue, having discovered that i'm NOT THE ONLY ONE. (oddly enough, it hadn't even occurred to me till just now that this is why Don Dixon wears a towel on his head when he performs.)

but you know, a whole lot of people have this problem. and none of the topical products out there are really designed for scalp use. there are drugs to treat it, but they have their own set of side effects. and there's surgery in which they cut the nerve that tells your head to get sweaty, about which i've heard some seriously scary shit.

but no antiperspirant shampoo.

there has got to be a way. i'm telling you, people, this is a huge moneymaking opportunity. someone should get right on it.

why is it that no matter what i do, i can't concentrate on work, but i can hyperfocus on web-surfing for information on excessive sweating for hours?

oh yeah, about the soup

due to the time change, dinnertime sneaked up on me and the soup wasn't ready yet, so i had a cheap steak from the freezer (chuck eye, how i love thee!) and left the crockpot going overnight. this morning, the result was definitely soup, and quite tasty indeed. i look forward to warming it back up tonight. must acquire crusty bread!

in other news, i'm having a spectacularly bad hair day. nothing i do makes it look right. and i still can't concentrate, dammit. just because it's an incredibly dull powerpoint presentation doesn't mean it doesn't have to get done.

of course, it would help if i had at least minimal direction and/or some sort of timeframe.

math is hard. let's go shopping!

a call to beaks

the Peeps are amassing an army, no doubt meaning to stage a coup while the US is distracted by Iraq and replace our government with a tasty sugar-coated fascist regime.
