That Moment...

Yeah, I'm quite fond of the galloping huntsman spider. They're about the size of a small rat. They eat the other nasties and I can always sweep them out the door with a broom if they get a little too full of themselves. The only problem is they like hanging about in and around my bed, so there's that. The thin line in the sand is crossed and they're gone when they start with those shenanigans.

 

Oh, that war is ongoing.

and there are some interesting tactics employed for drawing them in.


Warning, the first link above is confronting. The video is funny-as, though.

 

Nyowchy!

 

Of all songs to play at full volume...*Shakes head, hands Homer a cookie*

I'm sorry, but that last part made me laugh out loud. *Hangs head in shame, hands Homer another cookie*

 

TMW you end up with a little baby sat next to you on the bus, so you pull silly faces to entertain them.

ETA:

and

TMW said little baby gazes into your soul.

 

Tmw I'm trying to explain to my dad that he needs help lifting his sofa. He gives me the best Puerto Rican Clint Eastwood stare I've ever seen.....then after three minutes of silently looking me down, huffs and gives in.

Stubborn old man.

Tmw I can picture myself acting just like him at sixty three....

Also tmw I look at an old picture of him and realize how much we look alike. If my skin were darker, we'd be twins.

 

TMW you realise that your medication has a surname on it that isn't yours! But it is the correct prescription. It also has an address that isn't mine!

 

TMW you realize that "The Devil Went Down to Georgia*" is basically a rap song. Read the lyrics in Snoop Dogg's voice, I dare you:

*Writing credits per Wikipedia: Charlie Daniels, Tom Crain, "Taz" DiGregorio, Fred Edwards, Charles Hayward,
James W. Marshall

 

Apparently I'm not the first person to notice this:

 

Mr Fox for the first grab after coming out of the gate at the parking lot (and yes, it was good timing), but then a double for the switch to the Jeep. Also Mr Fox for the close-ups and the bend after he waves at the girls in the gym is also him.

 

TMW you're watching Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring, and Boromir says: "They have a @Cave Troll "

 

TMW... you're so fed up with work, that when you see a line, you laugh and think to yourself, not my problem, I don't sign in for another hour. LOL

 

TMW you’re in your bathroom soaking your feet for a home pedi with Frank Sinatra’s “Witchcraft” blaring from the Bluetooth speaker, and you realize you’ve just set yourself up for either a classic mob hit scene or a horror movie. Fuck!!! *Hurriedly dries feet and scrams*

ETA: Aaaaand Dean Martin starts singing “Sway” right after Frank. I’m doomed...

 

That moment, when even the knowledge that you have tomorrow off cannot lift your spirits. So you go to McDonald's to get yourself a medium fry.

 

Just the one?

 

Well, I got a Large Dr Pepper as well. A already ate dinner, which was a homemade bean and cheese burrito. (by homemade I mean, the beans came from a can, Cheese and Tortillas from a Package, oh and taco sauce. ) . I also put some taco sauce in my ketchup for the fires.

 

I love that moment... when you do not tell your dogs it's bed time... They tell you it's bed time. And they will persist in telling me.

They also do this in the morning as well, after they go out for the first time, I bring them back in to give them their benadryl. And they hang out for short while, usually 15 mins before they tell me it's time to go back outside.

On days I work, they stay out till I return home, but on my days off they do come back in, and pretty much just lay on the cold-tile floor of the small hallway outside my room.

 

I love huntsmans! There's one guy that set up an "all natural mosquito pest service" with just a bunch of huntsmans.

 

TMW the biggest story recently in your country has been a epidemic of at least 100 confirmed cases of people putting sewing needles into strawberries sold at supermarkets and you're not sure whether your main emotion is horror at something so petty and irresponsible at such a scale, or amusement about how dumb the whole thing is.

 

Humanity was a mistake. We need to hit the restart button, asap.

That aside, over here in the states we have people who do horrible stuff like that on Halloween. They'll put needles into candy and hand them out to kids. If not needles, then coins, so when the kid chomps down on the candy they break a tooth.

 

Yeah, but it's on mom and dad's insurance, so PROFIT!!!!

 

TMW you get a mass emailing from one of the mods of a forum (not writing-related) that you don't remember ever having joined, announcing his (?) extreme displeasure with some decision or other that the management over there made, and his resignation as a mod unless and until things are changed back to the way they used to be.

TMW you go look at the forum, discover that your last post (of less than twenty) was over ten years ago, and the forum now looks like...

Well, every other vBulletin forum out there. Not sure exactly what the former mod was pissed about, but if he was that unhappy, prolly best he resigned.

 

TMW... you realize two scenes in two different books I have written are very similar... though, different FMCs, settings, etc. (Naturally)...

The similarities are...

Both women are in an emotional state:

One of them having just had a grusesome nightmare where everyone she loves is killed, herself being wounded by said entity. The other, is at the end of her visit, and fears returning home since her father will force her into a loveless marriage... etc.

They both take a moment to look up at the dual-moons, (the planet has two moons) and comment how beautiful they are. and both professes their love for the Male Love interest. One a MMC and the other 2ndary character.

Just find it funny, will it be the last time I do this... nope. I am sure many more of my stories will share this similar scene. . In fact, I may do my best to incorporate it... in a natural sense.
