That Moment...

It's pretty easy to cut your hair if you do like me. Just take the clippers without any guard and with the teeth lowered all the way and shave away!

 

But you'll be bald! Unless you prefer it that way, in which case that's cool.

TMW...

You've nothing else to say in this thread.

 

I wish it were that simple, but I wouldn't suit a cue ball.

I have this whole Ted Theodore Logan thing going on at the moment.

 

That moment when you click on an alert message just to see that someone hasn't said anything.

 

That moment when a hungry spider decides to take a bite out of your foot and you get a giant red bump on there after it has done eating. Not funny, spider, not funny.

 

But now you're Spider-Woman! Have fun swinging on your webstrings all over Belgium!

 

When the floodgates of perfectionism leak and begin to shower jets of cleansing mediocre expectations.

 

TMW you realize that some liberals who are really obsessed with respecting racial boundaries sound a little bit like segregationists. Minority-favoring segregationists, but segregationists nonetheless.

 

Just out of curiousity, an example?

 

TMW you can't stop eating Nutella.

I think I once saw a Young Turks panel about segregating high school students once or twice a week or so to discuss racial issues. That seemed a bit weird, especially when I started to think how they'd do this in practice. Like, if you're the only half-Syrian student, do you just get free time 'cause sitting alone in a classroom would be stupid? Or if you're a Polish immigrant, how much are you going to have in common with a bunch of All-American guys and gals (whose ancestors came to the US 200 years ago from Germany and France) even though basically they're all Caucasian. Except one of you has a strong accent and gets picked on it everytime s/he opens his/her mouth. Is that really going to be a "safe space" for him/her?

But what do I know about your identity politics...

 

Now I think I get it. In Toronto there was a big debate about Afrocentric schools that I remember. I guess that could be an example.

 

TMW you drink a cold beer in the humidity and life seems perfect in that brief moment.

 

By god, I just ordered a bottle of water, and now I'm getting a big, cold can of Foster's in honor of this post.

 

Then someone tells to you get off your lazy ass and get back to work. :3

 

Amen.

 

Ah, that's better. 101 degrees here right now. Foster's isn't my favorite beer, but I'm at a coffee shop with a limited selection. Right now it is pure, cold nectar.

 

Fosters is better than coffee at 101 degrees. It's actually just gone 12 a.m. in UK, but it's one of those sticky humid sleepless nights.

 

I'd love a Bass Ale or a McEwans, to be honest. But this Foster's is really hitting the spot. It's not humid here, so at least that's something.

 

Is Cali not humid? Do you live by the coast? I hear Vegas is humid as hell, but I guess that's because it's the desert. I'm drinking Sol -- it's like a cheap version of Corona, but it's still damn good!

 

Where I'm at it is generally not that humid. The central valley, which is shielded from the ocean by a minor range of mountains. It does get humid, particularly after a rain, but I used to live in the midwest where it was extremely humid, so California never seems that humid to me.

I thought about going to the ocean today, and should have. It's about 30 degrees cooler there.

 

When you put it like that, I guess living in the valley is a good idea.

I envy you -- I'd love to live by the ocean. All I have is the Mersey River. If you go skinny dipping in that then you'll come out with more arms and legs than you went in with.

 

TMW you realize you had one too many shots and said what you were thinking.

 

TMW you manage to spit out that clot of snot instead of swallowing it. Good times.

 

That moment you realise you have been walking round the shops With your skirt hitched in the back of your knickers.

 

TMW you have a nightmare about Shmi Skywalker getting kidnapped and beaten by Tuskens.

Um, where's the nearest ship to Tatooine??
