I'm on a diet

If I seem extra irritable, grouchy, pissy, or otherwise put off, that's why.

We did this diet once before, about three years ago, and I actually lost about 60 pounds. We abandoned it amid the stress of buying a house and moving and the Howard Dean campaign and all of that, and in the years since I put all that weight back on and then some. But this time I mean it.

(I'm so hungry.)
