Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The descriptions in the Slate article remind me of the deadly video in Infinite Jest.
The only comparable experience I can think of was seeing EAR's speak-and-spell based performance - it started and I got all swept away by the sound and when there was a pause in the music I looked at my watch thinking it had been maybe ten minutes and it was more like 45 and intermission. Is that what y'all mean by a trance?
Are there still states where insurance isn't required? I remember when my aunt got hit by an uninsured driver and got totally screwed, but I didn't think you could do that any more.
I'd have to check with DH but I'm pretty sure it's required by law in every state. At least collision insurance. But loads of people still drive without it.
My niece was hit by a driver who paid her premiums but whose insurance company had gone bankrupt and my niece got screwed over after the accident.
All states have an insurance commission (the industry is very well regulated) to try to insure that all companies stay solvent and they even have a fund you can apply to if your company goes belly up and you have an accident. But the funds are usually depleted pretty quickly and the payouts are very small.
DH is pretty soured on marketing for insurance companies. After working in that department, he still didn't get why so much money is spent on it because, as he says, "we are selling something that you are required, by law, to have!" The rest is just smoke and mirrors.
forgien languages seem to do it for me. I did not like the woman petting the camera
But I have used the bob the painter guy to relax.
not tingley , but trance is a good word
Is that what y'all mean by a trance?
Well, for me, it is a tingling sensation, but one kind of inside my brain. It very relaxing and pleasant. The camera-lady video weirds me out. I respond to quiet accents or whispering, but the role-play does nothing for me.
Yeah, it's like the slow spreading feeling of a strong drink. Less so loss of time.
-t, I understand what you're talking about. I remember a Momix dance piece that did that for me. Time did not exist during that dance. The tingly brain thing sounds very odd.
I no longer smell like burning, but I am officially up too late after showering. I hope my coat doesn't still smell in the morning.
Aimee!! Are you aware there are THERAPY LLAMAS?!??!
I have a picture of a llama clutching a pen and notebook and asking, "And how did that make you feel? BRAAAAAP!"
I think we need to make sure that we have therapy llamas and calming manatees on Buffista Island.
Admin lunch today, a mini celebration of my new job. whee. 4 of my 6 bosses are out of the office today, so my goal is to clean off my desk and maybe type up a few more process documents.
