“I’d love to be a Civil War buff… What do you have to do to be a buff?” “So Biff wants to be a buff? Well sleeping less than 18 hours a day would be a start.”
I wish I knew a lot about some sort of obscure subject. I’d be a hit at birthdays and bar mitzvahs. Any suggestions for things to research?

bad for this goal. I’ve been cranky and frustrated at work, and as a result I’ve been entirely too negative with everyone – venting too much about other people, annoying situations, etc. This coming week I’m going to try to stop complaining so much so I can improve my spirits from the outside in.

...the past week, rainy and generally miserable. Still, I’m trying to be strong. My parents came to visit this weekend, and my mom is super sensitive to the cold, so we put the heat on for the first time. But since then, I’ve been trying to go without it. I’ve been going out with just a sweater, no coat – I refuse to unearth my winter coat until at least November. Just trying to be very Zen about the cold. My instinct is to clench up and brace myself against it, but I find that really it’s much better to just relax and let it wash over me. Let’s face it, winter can be pretty damn long, and I don’t want to just sit under the covers for the next five months.
The problem is that it’s easy to take my mind off it when I’m outside walking the dog, but doing things around the house can be tough. My nose gets runny and I feel permanently chilled. But heating a big old house is extremely pricey, and even when I crank the temperature up, it never really gets cozy. I think I’m going to try to do some jumping jacks or something when I start to feel chilly.
