Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) Do the planet Mercury and the substance mercury have anything in common? Also, does anyone miss the days when someone dropped a glass thermometer and everyone ran shrieking in the other direction?

2) I've always been taught that the only way to effectively dispose of a tick is to flush it down the toilet. Because of my twisted brain I have a recurring nightmare about gigantic shit-engorged ticks emerging from the ground one day, a la Tremors.

3) And speaking of shit - I really feel like latrines should just be called shit ditches. It's so appropriate and pleasing to say.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately revolve around things I should've figured out sooner....

1) Until very recently I thought a "doge" was some new fashion breed of dog pronounced "doje."

2) For awhile I thought YOLO was a twist on Marco Polo for internet users.

3) Apparently Kitten Day, Hump Day, and Hot Guy Day are all the same thing (I think?) and this gets fairly confusing for me. I think Darwin would agree.

Thoughts lately…

1) You can tell a reader by how they approach you when you're reading. It's simple - they don't.

2) Finding absolute silence is very difficult. Bugs. Heaters. Cars. Your own heartbeat if you're paying attention. In my case, the snot percolating in your nostrils. Dear God. It's never quiet anywhere.

3) You also don't realize how much your body moves involuntarily. I got a new iPhone 5 with the compass app and was holding utterly still while trying to hit true North. Almost impossible. Try it sometime. You'll go insane.
