Yup - mainly because I've been working really long days and need a wake-me-up around 10pm to keep going.

Almost constantly at the moment - I had a lovely 9 months off when I emigrated from the motherland to Australia (barring a very interesting 3 weeks work in Islamabad)...am now hectically busy with a moronic manager and missing simpler times.

TPBM can moonwalk.

Not very often, you'd think living in Southern California we would have really good Mexican, but its never that good. (Maybe I have high standards...)

The other day a coworker and I were talking about dogs. He told me that peanut butter and raw eggs were good for a dogs coat. Makes it real shiny, etc. As I pondered this I wondered how in the hell you clean it off your dogs coat and how it would be quite messy...DOH! :?

No, I don't levitate (except for the occasional wheelchair pushup) and I don't want to go the flea market, today, as I'm in the evil chair for an indefinite period.

I wish. I get several each year since both my partner and I work in a gym. We're in such constant close contact with our clients that it's pretty much impossible to dodge the illnesses that come through. I'm actually recovering from a nasty cold right now. :(

TPBM had no idea that the common cold could induce hives. Seriously. This is some itchy bullshit...

I'm glad it doesn't induce them in me, because I've had a lingering one for two weeks & I don't really need hives added to the mix.

Love it, but more powerful dynamic movements (martial arts, dance, animal flow, parkour, etc) are way better.
