Buffistas

You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Every home improvement/repair in my house is an adventure. I've accepted that. Comes with the years and changing standards, good and bad. (Good=better wiring and plumbing. Flat roofs, yeahno. Bad=lost arts like plastering which last 80 years, but are now spendy to restore. And this house is freaking solid, even with as much neglect as it has seen.)

And once I realized the plaster had to go, popping the rest off was fun! I'm a picker, I like peeling and scraping. (Yes, I was the kid who played with Elmer's and rubber cement to peel it off...)

I once had to sit through an hour-long session on how to use the new photocopier.

We had to have an all-staff meeting to discuss where to place the new photocopier. This took 45 minutes. I am not making this up.

I totally did that!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I used to carefully peel the silver foil off the paper backing of chewing gum wrappers. I don't remember why.

Until I started doing fake nails, nail polish was a waste. I'd peel it off.(didn't help that my nails don't stick with polish well)

Regular nail polish makes my nails peel off in layers like an onion. I have to use the kind with no formaldehyde or tolulene. I rarely bother.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As in Tom Mison doing Ichabod Crane giving you directions. This is glorious.

Aaaaaaaa I just installed this and he told me "in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right."

(Except I know from experience that I'll probably switch back to a computer voice after two or three annoyed drives where he doesn't read the street names. Also the help menu still answers in Android Siri.)

Maybe I'll have him tell me how to get to places I already know how to get to, just to listen to him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I do wish Ichabod and Terry said the street names, but I'm usually using it to get around traffic, not direct me somewhere unfamiliar.

in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right.

Also, this made me go "eeeeeeee!" I can't wait to try it tomorrow.
