last night i tried my paws at a device i had only recently heard of... the neti pot. i wonder why it had never been introduced to me in my horribly congested upbringing. it's a tiny tea pot you fill with a saline solution and pour into one nostril with your head cocked while all of your nasal nastiness drips out the other... very charming, especially when your head isn't turned far enough and it spills into the back of your throat.



HIIIGHLY recommended, and also endorsed by this guy.

in other recent news, i have switched banks to one with better lighting and free popcorn, because these are the things that are important to me.



oh, hey guys. has it been raining? i suppose you want to come inside.



uhh... wait...



let's talk about this...



((closes door))

there are two argentinian boys that live down the street. they are five and seven. they visit me every day. i hide from them every other day. i get caught every other other day.

did you know that i'm a jedi master?

mx said:

no you're not, lx, you haven't even mastered the force yet, probably because you're five. i haven't even mastered the force and i'm seven. you'd probably have to be at least ten to be a jedi master.


also, they are both left handed. luke skywalker is left handed. age seven math, with left hands, you will be jedi masters.



they are quite impressive.

i think i need to be in a library to be at all productive. being at home with papers to write and studying to do is just too difficult. i just end up watching law & order: criminal intent until my eyes burn.

special note: i don't watch it because it's good, but only because i've already seen every episode of special victims unit and plain bagel & order isn't on netflix.



and crossword puzzles? don't get me started.



le sigh.

i knew my phlebotomist today. we used to work together at og. we talked about things that are boring. i don't think he was allowed to laugh at my jokes on account of the lab coat.

GAH! i could use seven or so beers right now.

unfortunately i'm running the earth day half-marathon. sobriety for the environment. it makes more sense on paper.

you can fold a trope nine times, because they are not made out of paper. that's just where you put them.
