I'm watching Mullholland Drive. It's a David Lynch film. ... I don't need to say more than that really.
I'm so incredibly bored. I wish that I were going to the movies right now--haven't seen the new Harry Potter yet, and it has just now come to Panama's movie theaters. Sadly, my days are filled with mommy monotony: cleaning the house, chasing around my 2-year-old, and trying to squeeze in a fun mystery novel during nap times. I've watched Futurama episodes so many times that I could probably give full plot summaries within the first 30 seconds of any episode. Bored, bored, bored!!!
Right there with you. (Except I don't watch Futurama and my kids are 6 and 10 and I'm not currently reading a mystery novel) Other than those flimsy details though I'm bored out of my mind. It's too hot to do anything. My brain isn't fuctioning for writing today on 3 hours of sleep, and I keep obsessively checking the forums and blogs and email for something, please god anything, to do
I'm the opposite of bored...just got home from a six-hour derby boot camp. I'm super sore, though, and my head, butt, and leg hurt from a really bad fall I took. So I guess it's a trade off--not bored, just in pain.
I had hoped that by reading the latest in this thread I could find something good to talk about, but REALLY??? You all are as bored as I am? Trapped inside by the heat, stuck inside with children, nothing to entertain but lousy re-runs and awful saturday day-time TV? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE?!? (and I'm not referring to Link the Writer's avatar )
Time for a reminder from the first post of this thread. Pay particular attention to the first two bullet points.
Sorry, Cogito. *ahems* Well, everyone, I'm just hammering out the details of my first fantasy story. I'm quite pleased with it. That and while eating a plate of cheese pizza has made my night.
I got a huge bruise on my leg today (biggest bruise I've ever had...and I've gotten a lot of bruises), and it hurts so bad I can barely stand. My leg is throbbing. Poor leg.
How big a bruise? Is there swelling associated with it? You mght want to get it checked if it is throbbing. It could be serious.
It wraps like a third of the way around my shin, and it's a little swollen, but not too bad. It's not throbbing now that I'm sitting with my leg propped up, but it was when I was walking around. Bad sign?
That bites, hiddennovelist. What'd you do to it? Also, like Cog said, you should get it checked out if it gets really bad. Just in case.
I play roller derby, and I took a bad fall during a scrimmage today. :/ The hubby gets off work in a couple of hours, so I'll try to stay off of it, and if it's still hurting this badly when he gets back, I'll have him take me to urgent care. Boo, not having insurance sucks.
Roller derby, you say? :O That is so cool! It's better to get it looked at sooner than later. Not to get all morbid, but I had an uncle who passed away earlier this year because he hurt his toe, and didn't get it checked out because he thought it was just a bruise. Turned out he'd torn a muscle or something, and it got infected. Of course, he was in his 60s, so he wasn't very physically strong to begin with. Still, infections are never a good thing. Hope you feel better soon!
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I love it. Thanks for the well-wishes and the advice! A couple girls from the league gave me a few things to try before going to the doctor to see if it helps, so I'll see how that goes and if it's still giving me trouble after, I'll definitely go to the doctor. I hurt my shoulder a couple months ago and put off going to a doctor, so it was way worse by the time I finally started getting it fixed. :/ Bad idea.
Are internet IQ tests accurate? Every time I try one I get a vastly different result. I've had anything between 115 to 140. I taken an IQ test when I was in school and that said my IQ was in the 120 area.
Even IQ tests administered by professionalds in person can vary con siderably. Such tests have also been criticized for cultural biaes. I would absoljutely not place any credence in an Internet-administered IQ test.
Fair enough. That means I've never actually had a real IQ test, the one I did at school was administered by a maths teacher with little experience. Which is irritating, because I am always worried about them despite the fact that I always seem to get above 115 at absolute worst.
It's a number. Don't let it define you. We all show moments of brilliance, and others of appalling stupidity. Bask in the former, and learn from the latter.
I have this strange urge to have tea and toast for a snack. Two questions: #1- This is very British of me, isn't it? #2- This is also very stereotypical, hmm? If so, sorry. I know not all Brits have this for snacks.
