Also - anybody out there had experience of a weird, fizzy/crackly noise in their ear? My left ear, as of yesterday morning and still today, is sporadically giving me a weird crackling noise, like static, or like the sound of bubble bath bubbles bursting.

All the time. Well, let me qualify: all the time, *when I swallow or yawn.* It doesn't just happen randomly. But literally every time I swallow or yawn, I get the crackly noise. I figured it was my eustachian tubes being weird, and I just ignore it.

I mean, I have allergy/sinus issues all year round, so I'm assuming that because things are perpetually fucked up in my larynx/pharynx, my eustachian tubes are always dealing with a little bit of ick back there.

....perhaps my levels of self-care aren't the best example, though.

Last night the cats unplugged the alarm clock.

Last night I reset the alarm clock.

Last night I reset the alarm clock wrong. Day was night and night was day. Somewhere Michelle Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer were getting it on.

This morning Da Punk woke me up by saying "Daddy, can you wake up and talk to me?"

"No, punk. I'll be getting up soon enough, when the alarm clock goes off. What time is it, anyWHOAFUCKSHITPISSFUCK!"

Fuck Monday. Fuck it up its stupid ass with an ICBM with faulty warhead shielding.

I had this for a few days. I thought it was water in the ear syndrome. It was actually dried up. crackly. t shudder

I would not recommend my solution, which involved careful but forbidden use of a q-tip.

Perhaps yours is just a cold coming on.

Oh man, man o' miracles.

Cats. can't trust 'em.

Weatherman says we have a mini Snowpocolypse coming. 8 inches in the next 24 hours.

so it's apparently an oddity of my own immediate family.

Quick. Slaughter a virgin goat and form its entrails into a sigil of banishment. The snow demons may be averted.

Or, I may have just gone fucking nuts from STOP THE FUCKING SNOW ALREADY, JESUS, IT'S ALMOST APRIL!-itis.

the only one.

My sisters make 2 more oddities.

Another oddity here. My ears make that crackling noise all the time. Um.

My sisters make 2 more oddities.

hee.

We, on the other hand, are practically perfect in every way. ...

Dudes, I has both skipped and skimmed. And why, you ask? Because instead of turning off the cable TV and leaving us the internets as requested, the cable dude cut off our signal altogether. On Friday. And wouldn't come fix the screwup until today.

And so I had no internet at all until this morning, where it's the Work Internets and the Catching Up On Homework Internets, and not the fun kind of internets at all except in skip-and-skim between work ways. It's a really dark scary world.
