Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

[Aragorn]

I take my contacts out when showering. One time I thought there was a spider in there the whole time but it just turned out to be lint.

Did the usual spider check of the shower stall before taking a shower, didn't see any and left to pick up a fresh towel before starting the water. When I checked out the stall before starting the water, THIS time there was a long legged spider by the showerhead. Tried to smash him but he did the usual spider drop maneuver. I looked all over until I spotted him pretending to be a ball of hair on the wall. Tried to get him again and he dropped and disappeared again. So frustrating! Then I spotted him trying to scuttle under the mat. I finally scooped him up and sent him to a watery grave. At least I thought it was the same spider....Took a very hot shower just in case there were others.

I take my contacts out when showering.

I just thought of the scene in Apollo 13 when Marilyn Lovell is taking a shower and she loses her wedding ring in the drain (she later gets it back, IIRC).

I'm like, is there any particular reason to wear one's wedding ring in the fucking shower? Seriously, this is a thing?

I'm sick fucking listening to this woman of mine ranting and raving

Early this morning I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read: "Too Dumb for New York City, Too Ugly for L.A." Well, I thought, that's cute. Then I looked it up and found it was the title of a country album by Waylon Jennings from 1992!

Okay, so I'm not much of a country music fan. But it's still a cute meme.

I never encountered a spider in the shower, but I did have a baby gecko fall on my shoulder while I was showing once. I felt bad, because when it hit, and freaked out and wiped it off my shoulder and into the water in the bottom of the tub. I'm pretty sure I managed to get it out and save it.

Did it sell you insurance?

Never gave it a chance to talk, but that could explain why it came in the house.

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT watch Arachnophobia (1990).

So I finally gave in a put in an application to go back to work at the store where I quit to years ago. I ran into a lot of the same shit at the other job I quit after 2 months, so I figure if I'm going to run into the same shit again, I'm gonna at least do it somewhere where I know the store, know the system, and there are people I know and like.

Fun fact: The voice of the GEICO gecko is the same guy who played Kill Crazy on Red Dwarf.

There's a scam ad on Facebook for buying a Microsoft Office license for $50. I flagged it. Later on got the same ad that was using a different address. Flagged it. Later on got the same ad that was using a different address. Four times so far. Does Facebook not care about their users getting scammed as long as it generates clicks?

why would they?

Wow, I was just reading up on Simon Pegg and his biography states:
"Upon completion of Shaun of the Dead, Pegg was questioned as to whether he would be abandoning the British film industry for Hollywood, and he replied, "It's not like we're going to go away and do, I don't know, Mission: Impossible III", picking the title of an imaginary blockbuster. When the film Mission: Impossible III was subsequently made, Pegg appeared in it as Benji Dunn, an IMF technician who assists Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt."

I highly recommend reading his book. It's really fun and honest and he's One of Us.

staff that worked on The Simpsons must have a real psychic handy around the show or something since some of their old episodes predicted the future today pretty accurate a little bit

No kidding! One of my friends is always sending me clips that were eerily prescient!

I wear mine all the time. I took it off for surgery, but that's about it.

Now that it's getting looser (because I've been losing weight ), I might have to start taking it off when I shower. But after 17 years, it's pretty much just part of me.

So I finally gave in a put in an application to go back to work at the store where I quit to years ago. I ran into a lot of the same shit at the other job I quit after 2 months, so I figure if I'm going to run into the same shit again, I'm gonna at least do it somewhere where I know the store, know the system, and there are people I know and like.

Sorry to hear you're having job crap. Are there other places in your area that might be worth checking out? I know a lot of places are hiring right now.

 

[JD]

Yeah, there are a few other places I'll try if I don't hear back from the store. I keep trying to find something outside of retail, but everything else is either restaurants, which I know would be too stressful for me, too far, or you need special skills.

Does anyone know where the audio clip about playing "a game of whak fuck" comes from? I see people using it all the time on Instagram, and I was curious about it's origins. I tried looking Youtube and Bing, but didn't have any luck.
This isn't the clip I saw earlier, but it's a good example.

I think they just keep assuming the stupidest possible thing will happen, and then it does.

I mentioned that there was something on my liver in my CT scan at the hospital. I got the ultrasound they wanted, but it was inconclusive. Now I get a "dedicated triple phase hepatic CT" on Monday 2/7. They need to put an IV in me to inject the dye.

I'm scared. Apparently liver cancer is on the rise... and obesity is a high risk factor.

I'm sending positive thoughts.

Medicine likes to use convoluted and complicated jargon. Makes doctors seem overly educated. Basically, they're going to take sets of images at different timing points of the dye injection.

Here's some doc-speak so you too can sound doctorish:

Obdormition and paresthesia is when you sleep on your arm and awaken to find it numb, followed by the pricking/tingling.

Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia is brain freeze or ice cream headache.

Morsicatio buccarum is that ridge inside your mouth after you bite the inside of your cheek.

Transient diaphragmatic spasm is getting the wind knocked out of you

Synchronous diaphragmatic flutter is just a hiccup

Sternutate is a sneeze

Nocturnal enuresis is something you might have done as a kid- nighttime bed wetting.

Orthostatic hypotension is that dizziness from standing up too fast.

Borborygmi is the rumbling/gurgling in your stomach

Gustatory rhinitis is the runny nose from eating spicy food

Medial tibial stress syndrome is just shin splints.

Horripilation is what you've gotten after reading this list- goose bumps
