Yeah, but those are like fresnels or whatever --oh, wait, on the STANDS! Must be LEDs of some kind.
So, what kind? And would they temporarily blind a jackass like the way a car's high-beams can to a car 20 ft away?!!
Need answer fast!
Well, kind of not really.
Let me guess, you saw Itzhak Perlman?

Now I'm pissed off.
Question: did anyone else know Mayweather and Pacquaio were going to fight? I never thought Manny Pac would ever come back. And now to watch it, I need a better computer online than my Chromebook, because Linux is eating up all my streaming space.
Well, yeah, there was a bit of publicity.
Kid and I watched it, it was fun but I wished they'd gone at it harder.
Hagler-Hearns remains the best fight I've ever seen, by a long shot.
I'd type my opinion of the fight, but my arm's too sore. Sigh.
What exactly is the deal with skin fungal growth? I thought it was a sign of diminished immunity, possibly as a result of stress or other trauma. It's fucking annoying. I should probably look into finding and acquiring a loofah (or whatever they're called) and using it.
All right. I just looked at my back in a mirror. The situation is fucking dire. Hair all over the place, fungus, this is not good. In fact, I think it might be medically not good.
eta also my forehead seems to be permanently furrowed. Not a good feeling, but I feel good at attributing that to dehydration and stress.

Tinea versicolor. Fucking gross. I've had outbreaks for all my adult life, but in the depths of my ignorance, about five months ago, I tossed away a tube of (ketocanazole?) -- it was an expensive prescription topical cream. I don't know why I threw it away -- just figured I didn't want it in my bathroom anymore.
I collect molds, spores and fungus.
You need to find another hobby.
Seriously, sorry to hear of your medical problems, Jizz. Hope you feel better, and are better, soon.
Janine Melnitz (sp)? I think Annie Potts is a little long in the tooth for me.Originally posted by Elendil's Heir
She probably has less back hair than me, though. Which is a good look for a woman (not having back hair).
Miconazole 2%, is what the kindly pharmacist recommended for OTC stuff after I inquired about Ketoconazole.
Question -- why don't Americans treat pharmacists as the highly-trained medical professionals they are? They aren't just pill-counters and store clerks -- and they are highly regulated by state boards, just as doctors and so forth are.
ANOTHER QUESTION:
So I dropped my beloved tweed because I thought it was better to have a proper elbow-patch-sewing on than suffering through another day worrying if my idiotic half-assed job would hold or if I'd be running down the street trying to catch a loose patch a la Benny Hill.
Yeah, so I was in it to win it, pay them whatever, maybe bargain for them to tack up some loose fabric around the pockets for the same price. You know, haggle.
So I think all I was left with was -- left my jacket two days ago -- and talking to like the fifteen year old daughter of the crazy old lady I spoke with months ago. "Did you speak with my mother?" Well, I don't know, but "I don't know, some lady here." "Was she short?" "Yeah, I guess, shorter than me -- I just want someone to fix this and we said twenty-five dollars was good. Also, I think a good price is to also fix the tears in the side pocket." "Yeah, she my mother. I ask her."\\\
Shit it's been like two days and they haven't even gotten around to it -- I checked on my way to the grocery earlier today.
"We call you...maybe Monday, OK?"
Fucking A. I don't like going to the grocery store during the weekday, much less inspecting some mama-san's handiwork. I should have just dropped it off at a downtown cleaner's -- or just finished the job myself.
Also some high-school girl keeps hassling me at my grocery store. "Back for more? I remember you getting those pizza rolls and forties!" Teh-heh. Whatever, lady -- if I wanted to fuck you, I would have done it. If I wanted some static about the crap I buy on my way back home, I'd have asked for it.
Still, that's a classic teenager's question when asked about her mother: "was she short?" eta You see what I mean, right? She could have said, "She's a Vietnamese with a thick accent, in her mid-fifties," or even "She looks like a wet dog and smells like it -- nasty woman." At least those would have been honest. Passive-agressive: "Was she short?"
That is one snotty little kid -- I hope her mom beats her with a hairbrush.

So, I think I have dry-cleaning-girl figured out -- she just sort of has that usual love-hate thing going on with her mother. Nothing that interesting.
But what about the worker at the grocery store? I don't know if she's trying to flirt, and just isn't very good at it, or if she's trying to imitate the grown-ups and the blacks at the store who usually joke off-the-cuff with me. I have no idea if she's in high-school, just a guess. At any rate, too young and (especially) too stupid for even me. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly the nature of that stupidity is. Keep in mind, I'm like an older, hairier Forrest Gump, so she must be pretty stupid, indeed.
ETA I'm going to settle with that she just hasn't learned how to modulate her tone in public, and is just trying to imitate the off-handed banter older people do. I don't think she's autistic or retarded, just a little too "on the nose" for the usual banter. You know, I don't know these workers' names, like truly old people tend to, just a way to pass the time during the five minutes waiting to pay for my stuff. Never at my instigation -- I hate bothering service people -- but still, just light conversation. Kids don't really understand time.

What's the deal with strange aural eruptions of the ear? A few months ago I had an outbreak of patulous eustachian tube, which was terrifying, but fortunately only lasted a few hours. Just now I had the sensation some really loud buzzing was externally-caused in one ear. Swatting blindly at my head trying to catch imaginary bugs or chainsaws is pretty ridiculous. Extremely vivid.
Yeah, but better to hear them than to see them.
No it isn't! Not for me, anyway. I'm pretty sure I can deal with the odd visual hallucination, but it's fucking terrifying to me to have my aural senses fucked up. Am pretty much half-blind anyway -- the primary way I navigate the world is aurally.
Wow. That surprises me. I would far rather mis-hear something than mis-see it.
So now you can write a pathetic (!) letter to your brother whining about the injustice of it all. Then you could write a symphonic piece about how wonderful joy is. Ha.
What?
You can easily mis-see a city bus barreling at you. Mis-hear it? Unlikely.
Yeah, so basically her mother "hates" her because she's younger and more attractive, and she "hates" her mother because her mother is a tough boss and she doesn't like being stuck at the dry-cleaner while her friends are at the bowling alley getting some strange.
Nah, just some kid who sees adults having adult-ish activities -- me buying ghetto beer and snack foods, and people joking with me -- and thinks, "Hey I'm an adult too! Let me in on the game!"But what about the worker at the grocery store?
No big secret, nothing to see.

It's more about the surprise of the thing. Ever stand up too fast and get a head-rush, floaters in your eye? That's pretty normal, and is easy to deal with -- obviously, just sit down for a minute and ocular disturbances are a fact of life.
But one minute "la di da" and the next minute -- "shit my head's in a bucket! i must go to the hospital!" And taking a few minutes to realize: "I probably am NOT having a stroke! Let's ride it out."
That's decidedly less common, in my experience. And therefore, more unsettling.
Yeah, I inferred those references already. I was just wondering what in the hell you were talking about.
ETA NEW QUESTION=======================================
I had some left-over shrimp -- quite a lot of it -- like three days ago, and I'm pretty sure both my urine and body odor still smell like shrimp. I'm not sure I like it. I should go to a ladies bar on singles night, I guess.

Also my brow feels extremely furrowed this past week. I hate it -- I'm usually pretty relaxed and un-tense in the face. This is a new and unpleasant feeling for me. Not very hydrated these days, and short on sleep. Maybe I should get some Botox and shoot myself in the face.
Or get wasted and forget about it.

''Oh mine brow doth furrow. I think I may have the vapors!'' *faints*
Well I don't like it! It feels very...constrained....in my forehead.
Also I have a lot of mucus and "productive" coughs. It's very upsetting.
Aww. Lemme call you a wahmbulance.
Oh, you are made of dick! This is an important thread about serious matters! Respect, yo!
ETA your forehead probably resembles crocodile hide -- sensitive, much?

I do not resemble Gordon Ramsay.
/*New question***************/
I'm thinking of growing a pussy-tickler moustache, a la Maurice Chevalier or Alain Delon.
I think this is the worst idea I've had in years.
However, it would be kind of amusing.
A womb broom? That's how I picture you now.
And...."how i met your mother"....is starting.....sometime.
What's wrong with a dignified pencil moustache?
You will just enhance your ponceness.
Oh screw you. I eat three ponces every day before breakfast.
Had a rib removed, eh?
No but I had your mom's rib removed. It tasted great.
Anyway, talk about my very important questions, spitz! Seriously, what about the grocery-store girl and also the taste of shrimp and my back-hair and fungus?
Crab exchange. Excellent.
I didn't read all that other shit.
But what about my questions? You didn't answer my questions!
You big baby.
The girl doesn't like you. At all. Shrimp tastes good. Stop shaving your back. Freak.
She's a retard kid working at an after-school job! Of course she doesn't "like" me -- I'm probably twice her age. More importantly, I certainly don't "like" her. Shrimp tastes good, but is that...what was that they synthesized....purinol...maybe I have gout. I don't shave my back, mongo -- why do you think I have this problem?
And you didn't even touch on the question of my fungus.
Big baby.
I assumed the fungus was related to the back-shaving. The solution to gout is to amputate the affected limb/appendage.
I haven't even talked about my seasonal allergies.
/***********NEW QUESTION****************/
So what the hell with sweating like a pig all the time? I've always been a sweaty man, but not to the extent of soaking my shirt (and, I assume, drawers), just doing a usual commuting-distance short walk.
It could be I've ratcheted up my alcohol consumption in the past week; it could be allergies; it could be gout.
But I don't like it! And I certainly don't want to carry exercise clothes and change out it into street/adult clothes every two seconds.
//--***************************
Is anyone else as annoyed as me at seeing random "shared" pictures on Facebook?
This lady -- what is her major malfunction?
Not sure I want to "unfollow" her (I'll still keep her as a FB friend -- she's at school with me and is somewhat interesting), but there MUST be a way to filter others' posts. Maybe selectively ignore random "shared" stuff.
Yes, I suppose you might think it's ironic, given how much crap I talk over here -- but at least I'm saying something. Poorly, and inexpertly, but at least it's my own words, not just spamming some random links to some crap.
I often just block the site that the crap came from originally. I figure once crap, always crap.
