Baby, it’s REALLY FRICKIN’ COLD outside. I’ve always considered myself to be fairly weather hardy for an Angeleno, but I’m about to crack. It’s been consistently cold and rainy the past few days and I can’t take it anymore. I caught a bug from one of my co-workers, so I’m starting to feel very sick again. Ever since I started working at the UCLA Hospital I’ve gotten sicker at a much higher frequency than I used to. I’m sure I’ll be the first American to die of ebola.

Since I didn’t leave the house this weekend except feeding times, I watched a LOT of TV. The best time I had was a couple of hours ago when I watched an episode of Jackass. The first segment reminded me that there’s very little funnier than a man getting hit in the genitals. Johnny Knoxville, protected only with a cup, got kicked, paintballed, sledge-hammered etc repeatedly. I feel for his girlfriend. If you watch the segment carefully, you can hear Spike Jonze behind the lens laughing his ass off.

There was also a brilliant episode of King of the Hill, where Hank became a pimp (hooker played by Renee Zellweger, archnemesis pimp played by Snoop Dogg).

Even the Simpsons was good tonight, unfortunately a rare, rare occurence these days.
