The hummingbirds like me
Perhaps it's that they know just how fast they are and how slow a human is, but the hummingbirds are getting up close and personal and I love it.

Today I was out on my balcony talking on the phone and watching them drink the nearby birds of paradise flowers. Twice, a hummingbird zipped up to the level of my face about a foot away and hovered there looking at me quizzically for a couple of seconds before zippadidoodaing away.

I must admit that it was actually a little intimidating when an animal with a long pointy beak gets so close, so unabashedly, to one's eyes.

I've got raging fucking heartuburn today and I'm down to 1/2 of a tum left that I'm saving for when I wake up in agony. I've been consuming nothing but pizza, beer, and chocolate this weekend and it's caused some narst.

I have a jar of tums on my desk that I'm dying to crack into.

I've been playing WoW a lot - I have my undead warlock (ZestyMordant) up to level 12 now. So far, I don't really see the point. It's not nearly as fun or addictive as a lot of games and really, a lot of it is just repetitive. I also don't like this whole teaming up with others thing. At least money is both scarce and useful in the game - its only real saving grace.

I'm 90% sure that I'll allow my membership to expire at the end of the month, though I might have to keep it for social purposes with my coworkers - we'll see.
