ET

I lost a slice of pizza today because of the wind. Just blew it right off my plate.

Cerulean blue boogers. Must've accidentally inhaled some xylene cyanol...

Fat

Either my socks got tighter or my ankles got fat. Sympathy swelling?

neti pot

So, as people have said online, using a Neti pot was definitely weird at first. It didn't help that I didn't put in enough salt. I imagine that's what it feels like if you were trying to waterboard yourself. What was most disappointing though, was that I was hoping to flush out boogers of all sorts of colors and the best I got was a lot of clear slime and a little bit of yellow stuff. I was sick! I should've had lots of boogers! In varying hues of green and yellow!

cough-ccyx

I think I'm coming down with something because I'm really tired all the time and getting all mucusy and phlegmy and my throat is starting to hurt. It makes me want to cough all the time. But whenever I cough my tailbone hurts because I slipped on a patch of ice last week whilst scoping out some snacks in a shop window and fell on my ass. Argh, so sucks.

Hmmm...my half eaten turkey-on-rye (with mayo) has been sitting at the perfect bacteria-friendly temperature for the past few hours thanks to my computer AC adapter. It's still quite good though; I just hope I don't get sick. So many things to watch out for when one needs to hide a sandwich behind one's computer at work...

they discontinued the tampons i like! what the wha??

Peter Thomas Roth anti-aging cleansing gel tastes terrible.

curry

i thought i was experiencing sympathy pains, but it turned out to just be gas.

baby fire alarm

there is a teensy weensy fire alarm in the bathroom at lab. it is a cute little baby version of the ones outside in the lab area. my guess is the reason is two-fold: the acoustics in the bathroom is FANTASTIC and also, no one is likely to be sleeping in there.

Sometimes when I'm walking, I know I'm about to converge on the same point on the sidewalk as someone else. Usually, at the last moment, one person gets there a split second before the other. Very occasionally, both get there at the exact same time, and there's some footwork required to avoid a minor collision.

Today, my opponent was a pigeon. I could tell we're about to converge on the same point at an approximate 45 degree angle from each other. This is just an average -looking pigeon, not obviously on any sort of enhancement drugs, and even though it was pumping its bird feet at a good pace, I was still going faster. Unexpectedly, in the last couple of seconds, it put its little bird head down and started booking it. That's right. Today, I lost to a pigeon. A competitive, inner-city pigeon with a "kill or be killed" attitude. It was a very humbling experience.

I just had my eyes dilated for the first time in 5 years, and now I can't see anything. This must be what "old" feels like.

walking in snow is similar to walking on sand, but with the possibility of frostbite.
