Sounds horrid, Inf. Get better soon chick.

Hey y'all, thanks! I just woke up. I didn't drown in drool! I did have strange dreams that I was swimming and I found a plane. (not really.)

I feel a bit better. Just a bug, I'm sure. :)

I think the Robin has finally given up, it has been several days since he attacked the windows. I'm really wondering if he ever got to mate with his female, spending so much time at my windows, or if another male took care of things for him? If so perhaps the offspring will not be inclined to attack their reflection.

You know what's awesome?

When you notice an old twisty fluorescent bulb in your cabinet mixed in with the LED bulbs, and you think to yourself, "Huh, I should get rid of that..." and then somehow (?) it gets knocked down (or absentmindedly placed?) into the dirty laundry basket instead of tucked neatly away where it came from, and then you casually shove everything into the washing machine, and an hour later you have a load of laundry full of tiny glass shards and mercury.

WTF is wrong with me, that I don't notice a goddamn lightbulb in my laundry basket?

Does adding a light bulb to your detergent, like, make the colors brighter?

No, it just makes them mercurial.

in one spot on one shelf in one section in one aisle of every store.

Fortunately, you can still choose whichever parking space you want.

This is the European style grocery, before I left Texas there was a chain of them--forget the name--taking over territory. A low-cost alternative where you have fewer alternatives. Purchasing and inventory control efficiency allow them to save tons of operational costs. And if you want a can of beans, here the fuck they are--what? You wanted a different color label? lol

And what did we learn? /Stewie

The Beard cannot be trusted to amateurs.

Before speaking with a potential client, employer, etc. I read through their page to get an idea of their background and any conversation topics I can magically introduce which they will be impressed by. It's like an online dating profile for business relationships. This works. People love to talk about themselves and things they know about / identify with.

In evolutionary terms, there is no advantage to having learned a skill designed for such an improbable occurrence. Leopard in the tree tops, yes. Light bulb in the laundry basket, WTF ?

It took me years to find one that could. She's a gem, but not an amateur.

Flint 06-02-2014 11:07 PM

No god dang way anybody is cutting any part of my beard. It's a topiary, they can't possibly get it right. That being said, how can you fuck up fading the sideburns? That's unexpected.

lumberjim 06-02-2014 11:21 PM

I have pictures. It's not attractive

I have a headache that isn't a headache. I know it's from weariness after having the flu (legit - not just a an exaggerated cold), then a huge weekend of baking and markets, followed by cleaning all day monday. Anyway, my head is just not quite turning into a headache. I really feel like a glass of wine, but I think if I have one, I really will get a headache. I took some paracetamol earlier which helped somewhat, but it's still annoying me.

Of course, there are other irritations, but the head is the one I'm telling you about today.
