mardi gras

because neither my calendar nor the blogosphere informed me (yay for friends who know to inquire about the state of my coffee consumption): tomorrow, besides being super tuesday, is also fat tuesday.

do i want to go for my fifth annual lenten caffeine purge? suppose i might as well... i've been drinking mostly green tea lately instead of coffee, so the physical withdrawal symptoms ought to be mild compared to most years. and having a solid excuse to keep away from the valentine's day chocolate certainly wouldn't hurt the quest for a less fluffy physique... besides, five years kinda feels like a tradition.
