crapped on again

Got crapped on by a bird again, today – my fourteenth hit (and first in three years). They say it brings good luck, but I've noticed that the hits tend to come in bunches and I can't say that I've noticed any correlation between those bunches and the occurrence of luck in my life. The whole sordid history is here.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
