Timelies all!
No plans for tomorrow, but Sunday Mr. S is having a playdate with the daughter of two of our friends.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am generally not in favor of piercing things, but I would like fewer migraines. I should mention it to the headache doctor when I see her in a couple of weeks.

OMG, I just had half an avocado on toast, topped with two strips of bacon. Hugely successful dinner. Also, I think I'm a millenial.

Yeah, I haven't gotten a piercing since 1985, when I was 15 and got 1 extra piercing in my left ear (so, 1 in the right earlobe, 2 in the left) because Molly Ringwald did it.
But if piercing some weird part of my ear will mitigate my migraines, then let's do it.

Nom, Dana! Some of those millennial priorities are right on.

Of course, I almost immediately started worrying about the ethical and moral consequences of my hypothetical sock golem. Do I need to figure out how to give it free will? Will it be pissed I use electronic devices on Shabbat? Will I lose control of it and have it go on some kind of rampage because mortals shouldn't be messing with creation like that?
I am willing to test these hypotheses experimentally.
