&lt;p&gt;so i’m gonna shut up for a while - don’t want anyone getting infected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;plus, this is my main timesink &amp; i could use a break.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hopefully by the time i grace you with my presence once more i’ll be a healthier person, in more ways than one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;but the other day i realized something was wrong. i was wearing a sleeveless shirt &amp; doing manual labor, getting kinda raunchy &amp; dirty - and i smelled &lt;i&gt;bad&lt;/i&gt;. this wasn’t just a way-too-musky been working out &amp; haven’t taken a shower in over a day smell. it was a sour smell, a putrid smell - &amp; i wasn’t even very sweaty, really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this made me realize what i’ve been doing to myself lately. i have been consuming way too much cheap prepared food, beer, sugar, pizza, etc. WAY too much. i’ve been so unhealthy &amp; haven’t even noticed it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it’s time to change my life people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in the meantime i think i’ll have to start wearing Old Spice again (my old love) - i don’t think i could stand to live with myself otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174574805</link><guid>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174574805</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:17:22 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people."</title><description>“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt; Karl Marx (via &lt;a href="http://germanheit.com/" target="_blank"&gt;germanheit&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174479334</link><guid>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174479334</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2009 00:13:20 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>just spent over an hour cleaning the bathtub</title><description>&lt;p&gt;and it’s still not clean. gross.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; it’s fairly well known that Doctor Watson gets a bad hand in a lot of on-screen portrayals and parodies, and more than a few people have a mental image of him as a fat old dodderer. Unfair!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so true, Watson was awesome &amp; a vital part of the duo - not some tottering fool.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174173285</link><guid>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174173285</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:10:45 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Practicing the Impossible | HarperStudio</title><description>&lt;img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp3unklybQ1qzxe9vo1_r1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://theharperstudio.com/2009/08/practicing-the-impossible/" target="_blank"&gt;Practicing the Impossible | HarperStudio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174170969</link><guid>http://harmlessbalderdash.tumblr.com/post/174170969</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:06:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>aquabooks:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stage at Austrian Bregenzer Festspiele’s 1999 production of Verdi’ s opera “A Masked Ball” was a giant book being    read by a skeleton . (I had to dig for this because the original poster just put up the image with no context. Shame on your laziness.)&lt;/p&gt;
