A pretty good day. The entire afternoon went into a Costco expedition with the Cat. Followed by a quick dash into the Vitamin Shoppe looking for L-tryptophan. (Aside to the drug-interaction experts in the audience. How much of that stuff, if any, is it safe to take with an SSRI?)

After that I fired up the barbecue, for only the second time this season as far as I can remember, and cooked up some rather large lumps of dead cow. Which lead to an obvious instafilk...

The kids, for some reason, have always preferred not to deal with meat with bones in it. More for us.

In other news, I managed to get the office clutter down to the point where all of the moving boxes are under the counter. (This involves a certain amount of cheating, since there are still a couple in the living room, but it's still something of an accomplishment.

In the links, we have Getting Amazon Kindle for PC running in Ubuntu under Wine and a deeply weird music video in Russian of people being mind-controlled by Mickey Mouse.

I am very, very, VERY sad that I do not have access to the post with the music video in.

Still, huzzah for cow!

Not as often as I should! I've been cutting back on LJ time with all the extra sleeping I've been doing.

I think you should ask your own pharmacist, whoever fills your prescriptions, about L-tryptophan. There's not a straightforward answer, it will depend on what other meds you take, your medical conditions, etc. Not suitable for internet treatment. :)

You bring me memories of my father, singing that song.

? That's Froggie Went A Courtin'; the one my father used to sing was the Fox, and the tune is not the same.
