I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

I just took a personality test that someone sent me.

Basically, my results compared me to an elderly British citizen. See? I told you I was tetchy!

Based on “Brown Sugar” written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

A big part of pulmonary fields
Is knowing what a sputum’s color means
So we thought we would take time to recite
Colors you might find for your learning delight
White sputum – could be the lungs are clean
White sputum – or asthma might be seen

But we can tell you that white is not
The only color cultivated from a crop
So to feed your learning appetite
Half a dozen more for further insight

Gray sputum – comes from a cold or flu
Gray sputum – might be hay fever too
Yellow sputum – it might be bronchitis
Yellow sputum – or bronchiectasis
Black sputum – could be from smoking crack
Black sputum – a nasty thing to hack
Red sputum – blood’s somewhere in the tree
Red sputum – think CA or TB
Orange sputum – might be Pneumococcus
Orange sputum – or Klebsiella pus
Green sputum – think Pseudomonas first
Green sputum – Mycoplasma’s the worst

We started thinking it was kind of mean
To end this song on the color green
Because we don’t wish to be impolite
Here’s one more color then we’ll say good night

Brown sputum – look for dehydration
Brown sputum – and now the song is done

I so rarely get telephone calls--usually just my medical calls, or telemarketing (oh, the irony!), so I can forget to check for missed calls on my mobile for a day or two.

I had a missed call...an unavailable number. I dislike these unavialbale numbers...what are they trying to hide?

I assume it's a telemarketing call...I mean, no one I know has an unlisted or blocked number. If it was someone I know..try me between 3pm and 11pm Eastern time (I'm 5 hrs behind UK time)..but keep it short, as I get charged for incoming calls I believe.

Tardisgurl has tagged me again. I wasn't going to. I just came on here to check my PM's (can't access my e-mails without the browser crashing).

Tardisgurl's meme:

1. What have you had to drink today?

a cup of hot Orange-spice tea, tropical fruit flavoured sparkling water (my cough leaves me positively parched), and 'cos I'm out of juice, I had diet orange soda with my breakfast.

2. What time did you get up this morning?

My stinking cough woke me at half-past five this morning, and kept me up.

3. What did you have for breakfast?

What the heck tardisgurl, are you with MI6? Well, if you must know, I woke famished and had a small bowl of honey-nut oat cereal in milk, then later fried up two slices of bacon and two small eggs, and had two slices of buttered toast with it.

4. Plans for today?

Go to work at half-past nine, work till two O'clock or quarter after, come home, probably have lunch and if I'm not well, go to bed. Or, if I'm feeling okay, I'll probably do chores and then read and listen to some music, or watch a DVD.

5. What can you hear right now?

The New Pornographers singing All for Swinging You Around, traffic out on Glen Street, Boots "talking" to himself as he's scampering around the apartment, playing.

6. What time is it?

8.27 am

7. What are you wearing today?

You know, for once I haven't a clue. Usually I lay out my work clothes the night before, but I was so out of it last night (went home from work an hour and a half early due to the fact that I was busy coughing up my right lung), all I can say some black trousers and...something else. It's overcast and somewhat chilly, presently 36 F (2.4 C) so likely I'll wear a jumper or something, that works with black trousers.

8. Last time you went out with your friends?

April of 2006 (No, not kidding, pathetic, aren't I?)

9. Last concert you went to?

There was a local cover band playing at a downtown festival back in August.

10. If you could meet someone famous, who would it be?

I can't think of anyone off-hand. Hilary Clinton, or maybe Russell T. Davies?
