Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Also, woohoo I am finally getting Finance related tasks! Still pretty basic, but basic finance is better than basic accounting (as basic accounting pretty much being a file clerk while basic finance is at least preparing reports and doing a tiny bit of analysis)

Sew up like a sock monkey, scroll in head and Bob's your uncle, right?

All we need is the co-operative Rabbi trained in the appropriate Qabbalistic traditions.

edit: A dear old Rabbi was forever losing his socks, so he created a sock golem to help. "Please find the missing socks," he wrote on the scroll, tucked it into the balled up toe that made up the head, then carefully embroidered the proper symbol on its forehead. The button eyes lit up, and off the golem trundled, looking for the missing socks.

Of course, as these things always go, the golem didn't stop with the Rabbi's missing socks. Soon he was going off into the night, searching for socks out on their own, unpaired, separated and lonely.

So tell your socks to stick close together and not to go wandering off on their own. The sock golem may see them and think they're lost, and he'll take them home to keep them safe.

Uhg, Having some sort of backslide with this cold. My eyes are watering from sinus crap. Don't want to even think about donning goggles tonight.

From across the cubicle wall, one of the guy co-workers: "Look at this Tupperware. It is the boose-ist Tupperware."

Whoa. The mailing address for City of Vallejo is in San Francisco. My mind is blown.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I noticed in the nick of time that the Threadless sale ends at 5PM CST, so in 8 minutes. Three t-shirts ordered for my brother.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

No plans for tomorrow, but Sunday Mr. S is having a playdate with the daughter of two of our friends.

My hair hurts. There's weather coming and I'm pretty sure that's what causing this.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My hair hurts. There's weather coming and I'm pretty sure that's what causing this.

Yeah, I woke up with a migraine, and we definitely have weather coming overnight.

But I am so damn sick of these migraines that I'm going to see about getting my daith pierced this weekend. I have a lot of friends with migraines who've done it, and all of them say it's helped, ranging from virtually no more migraines to lessening the intensity and/or length of their migraines.

Unlike with meds, there are no side effects. The worst thing that could happen is that my migraines remain the same, plus I have an extra piercing. (I mean, technically, the worst that could happen is that the piercing gets infected and then my ear turns gangrenous and eventually half my face falls off, but I think that has a low probability.) For $40, I'm ready to try it.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm late to the game, but Mental Floss always has some great nerdy rather than geeky tees. (I have "When life gives you scurvy, make lemonade!", "Idioms are for the birds," and "Whoever believes in telekinesis, raise my hand," myself and I've bought mathy ones for friends who are so inclined).

edit: Oh yeah, and "Hyperbole is the best thing ever!" I might have a problem.

Never knew what that piercing was called, Steph. Seems like it's worth the try though.
