Apparently that means the internet is my brain because cats.

I see things that aren't there on a fairly regular basis. I eventually decided that as long I I know they aren't actually there, they are just visual anomalies, then I'm still technically sane.

So my day started out productive, but then my car broke down and the productive pretty much fizzled out from there. Argh. Ended with getting my car towed home. Now I need to find a reliable transmission shop tomorrow.

I hate when that happens. Hope you find a good place(I have recs, but wrong coast.)

Definitely wrong coast. I've had some wine, so I'm dealing with the fallout a bit better. At least I got a lot done yesterday, right?

Migraines: I got (what I was later told was) an ocular migraine for the first (and so far only) time, on the ferry from Wales to Ireland. I kept seeing what looked like lightning, in the side of my left eye, every time I moved my eyes. I was shaky and dizzy, but the headache itself was mild. The effect lasted about 45 minutes. Actual hallucinations, I have not had.

Non-migraine-related, I see things that aren't there out of the corner of my eyes a fair amount.

I sometimes see movement out of the corner of my eye when nothing is moving. I've learned to ignore it. There was one time I saw what looked like a short slender black shape duck into the shrubs by the porch, and that was unsettling, but yeah, nothing was there. I don't know what it is. I think maybe it's because I'm so very nearsighted, the curvature of my eyeball is so extreme, that it might sometimes cast shadows or bend light onto my retina in an abnormal way.

once -- and hopefully never again -- an abdominal migraine

A what? What fresh hell is that?

I've been using Swheat scoop

I used that once. It was the only time I've ever found bugs in the litter. Threw it all out and never used it again.

And clearly no one is hitting the gym for their shirtless scenes,

Back then, my expectations for what a guy on tv was supposed to look like shirtless were less intense. Expectations for half-naked women were more realistic, too. Everyone just looked like a regular person. An attractive regular person, but still. Hard abs were not required. I recall thinking that both Starsky and Hutch were really good-looking. Actually, I still think they were.

I definitely get those fleeting hallucinations more with sleep deprivation, but they could happen any time. I don't get auras or anything with my (really quite infrequent) migraines.

Whenever I get fleeting hallucinations (weekly now) I have that flash of an unsettled moment when I remember the gremliny things from Dead Like Me and I begin to wonder if I am dying.

But I have issues.

I recall thinking that both Starsky and Hutch were really good-looking. Actually, I still think they were.

I think they were/are, but Soul clearly had no topless anxiety, nor issues with his bad posture.

I don't try and judge them against today's action heroes in regards to their bodies, just in physicality. No, that's opaque. In regards to how they move, etc.

Bodies I judge against a random half of the krav instructors in my group. Because Jared Padalecki and his ilk. I figure some of us trained for vanity, some just had the bodies fighting gave us--I figured the selection would be fair.

Anyone watched (HEARD OF) SAF3? I was channel surfing, and stumbled upon Baywatch/that Canadian LA soap from two years back. Given today I've already seen Congeniality 2 and the first fifteen minutes of Spy Kids 3, what have I done wrong? Did I touch Sturgeon's cursed artefact?

I suspect that the percentage of crap out there is high enough that a random sampling will get you a streak like that without resorting to supernatural forces.

Not that that is particularly reassuring. Maybe it's some sort of harmonic convergence.

It's the depth of the crap that's astounding me. Someone hit enter three times on projects whose quality rival the depth of Sy Fy movies in three unrelated buckets. I mean, if you'd seen the flounce-acting of SAF3 (that's why I stopped on it, to see if she was really flouncing and bouncing at the end of each line, and then the show just kept getting worse), not to mention the falloff in quality from Congeniality 1-2 was so oustripped by Spy Kids 1-3.

I've channelsurfed before. But today was traumatic. And I can't stop myself.
