I've always sort of longed for really wee chimney sweeps, with the stiff scratchy brushes, to clean my ears--the worst part of being plugged for me is the itchy. No Dick Van Dyke, though.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Still, I'd love to see a tiny Dick Van Dyke, dressed as a chimney sweep and covered in earwax.
But I suppose his singing while in your ear would get annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One weekend, I swear all of the ads I saw were for this ear cleaner machine thing. The best part of the ad was the stupid people stabbing themselves in the head with a q-tip and screaming "OW!" Edit: Here you go [link]

Aaagh. I am not allowed to eat anything until after my surgery (which is scheduled for noon). And I"m sitting here, staring at the food in my easy reach, going "would it REALLY be so bad?!" WANT FOOD.
Also on the shit list: the person whose car alarm went off last night, and then stopped, and then went off again half an hour later...all night long.

I love my headphones. Starbucks is LOUD today.In addition to the typical folks working and meeting and all that, there is a group of mommies and little girls doing story time. The kids are pretty well behaved, but still, added noise.
Gonna work for another 30 minutes, then off to the laundromat, then - hopefully - home. Home will be a combo of putting the house back in order and finishing work for the day.

Who does that? Ever? I have an unholy love for my q-tips, even though I know I shouldn't clean my ears with them, but I've NEVER just shoved one in my ear like that.

Yikes. This is a disturbing read, but really fascinating: an oral history of the UT Tower shootings in 1966. [link]
One thing I'd never heard before was that a bunch of people got their own rifles and started shooting back. It did help, because the sniper had fewer chances to line up shots.
