That Moment...

Sounds like a remake of Identity.

 

TMW i might have cracked my jaw...

Spoiler

went to the gym today, 25ib medicine ball slipped out of my hands. I turned to catch it, but it hit the floor, bounced and clocked me in the face.... I can't open my mouth wide and eating is a pain....

 

Probably a good idea to get it checked out.

 

TMW you see a name in the news and don't even know what continent it comes from.

Spoiler

Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus is Ethiopian.

 

I would have guessed Greek

 

My husband (who has had emergency medical training for his job) says nothing feels asymmetrical and out of place. And the fact that I can eat, even though it's painful, means it's not dislocated. He thinks it popped out of place then popped back in, and it will be sore for a while.
If pain gets worse, I'm going to a quick care.

On the plus side: my face isn't bruised and I didn't end up on the YouTube "gym fails" reels

 

Dictation tools are ok for some people. I don't like them. I stutter, and it picks up on my pauses and repeated sounds (I don't repeat words, but certain sounds). sometimes it doesn't recognize words.
It's frustrating so I leave them alone.

 

I had thought to use the speak-and-spell function as well, but it turns out my ADHD inhibits simultaneous speaking and composing. Typing, which I hated all my life, turns out to regulate the jump ahead/catch up thought process perfectly. I'm stuck at 4 to 7wpm, but I'll take it over nothing.

 

TMW you notice how aggressively invested people get into super-obscure sports.

 

The manly sport of hair-tie tug-o-war over a podium?

 

TMW your pained eyes are the outcome of having to deal with the 24/7 noise of your toxic environment and you finally realize why vacations to a remote place - alone or with the right company - is so damn important. It's not the work that tires you. It's the people and they're everywhere.

 

All of which made me remember Paul Rusesabagina and now I need to watch that film again (Hotel Rwanda). Good film. Very painful, but Don Cheadle brings it.

 

TMW you decide that's not just weakness leaving your body.

 

TMW when your final evening before you have to go home has just begun, and you are feeling a tiny (really only a tiny) bit lonely.

 

Nope. Not even a little bit.

I do now understand why I jammed the memory in the same drawer as the memory of Tarantino's films, especially the Kill Bill films. The way the narrative structure is rolled out, each character adding a new level of complexity and in some cases a reanalysis of what had come prior as events that are objectively engaged get their subjective contexts filled in.

The cowboyness I remembered is not really cowboyness but instead that neon, 1950's, Los Vegas aesthetic.

 

Yep. I can see the similarities to a Tarantino film. Even the camera work is similar. Perhaps the director is his fan. Good movie nonetheless. I hope you enjoyed.

There's a movie trailer I saw about 3 to 4 years ago myself and I can't remember its title or whatever useful information to find it and it's reaaaally annoying. No chance in finding it because 1) I think it's Japanese (or Korean) 2) Not mainstream or popular enough, kind of an underground movie 3) the trailer was artsy and not narative, which means I only got a hung of what's it about 4) it has to do with drugs and techno or some sort of electro music if I'm right 5) the trailer kinda reminded me of hints of a Gaspar Noe film, but way rougher, in combination with "π" by Aronofsky. It had electro music, dark, colorful indoor settings, young characters, titles with fractals and seemed to be a virgin feature film of some unknown director. Long story short: Long gone...

 

Muchly!

I wish I had the wit and cleverness to deploy a narrative like this.

 

TMW i have 2 encyclopedias open on my desk on knives and daggers, and my coworker (who happens to be the security guard) approaches me and says with such concern, "why are you looking up knives???"
I say "research"
and she says "RESEARCH ON WHAT!?!?"


do i look like a psychopath or something?

 

If you have to ask, the answer is yes.

 

That moment when the cloning software says your hard disk contents are all copied over to your new solid state drive, but you're chicken to install the SDD in your laptop because, well, what if something goes wrong???

It gots ta be done. See you on the other side. I hope.

 

TMW you find out your itsy-bitsy screwdrivers are the wrong kind of itsy-bitsy.

If I'm going to remove the frame that holds the current HDD, I need an itsy-bitsy Torx screwdriver.

The DIY store where I work appears to have an affordable set in stock. Guess I'm going to bed at a decent hour and putting in an appearance there in the morning.

 

TMW when you want to fix your eye glasses, and the newest kit of screwdriver bits that was just on sale at ALDI contains all kinds of itsy-bitsy torx bits, but no itsy-bitsy flathead for your eye glasses! Now, where did I put that !@£$%^&* set of jeweller's screwdrivers....?

 

The itsy-bitsy spider snatched it?
