@GM, well taken women are certainly off limits, however, they are not all taken... Most doctors in your age range are likely still in school, as well. My wife didn't finish her schooling until she was 32 so, don't worry, they are out there! ;) Lots of available women out there... sadly you don't normally meet them until you are already taken yourself! Ah, such is life I'm afraid... ;)
Looks like I'm getting the one project I REALLY want today. It's out for delivery. :D
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T12:28:28-05:00
@GM, your messanger bag? Congrats! I got notice for Ghostbusters for Thursday, so thats one anyways... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T12:29:17-05:00
Or maybe GM needs to travel more. Whose to say that is lovely lady isn't living in Scotland? Or New Zealand? Or (heaven forbid) the U.S.?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T12:29:35-05:00
Bah! Life can suck it!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T12:34:25-05:00
@Geist, its all true! Even if you don't meet anyone whilst travelling, you're still travelling, which is awesome! Lots of good people in the States! We love our southern neighbours! (well most of us do, anyways...)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T12:35:44-05:00
@LZ, come on now, it can't be that bad? Sounds like you need an extra fencing sesh this week! ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T12:40:12-05:00
I was thinking the same thing last week LZ. I'm glad that those cooties (for the time being) have transferred over to someone else.
@BaKhan: Well, most of our southern neighbours. Not all of them are lovable. Some are down right racist bigots....and considering my family is fairly multi-racial(aunt married a black man and their children are fairly dark skinned, sister-in-law is Chinese, aunt dated a native guy and her children are part native), so I have no tolerance for racists.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T12:48:05-05:00
@GM, I was taking that as a given, plenty of loser a-hole racists up here as well. I meet a few everyday, lots of trades guys still hold those old hatreds. The way I see it, the colour of the skin is the worst way to judge a person. Their actions is how I determine whether or not a person, is a good person. The worst is when I get a customer spouting off ignorant bs and they expect me to agree with them. My typical answer is "I don't know about that.., is there anything else I can get for you?" That normally does the trick. Then of course I "look at the pricing" which means I add on a bigot tax, normally around 10%...
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T12:48:10-05:00
Both of my cars are broken. It's going to cost almost $500 to fix one of them, still waiting to hear on the other (I think it's the alternator). We had our first real snow today. That's when I discovered that the snowblower won't blow snow. I had to walk to work this morning.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T12:51:19-05:00
Oh, and I don't get to fence this week. Company Christmas party is happening during fencing time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T12:59:33-05:00
Ouch LZ. How far did you have to walk?
It would take me a day to walk to work and it would cost way to much for me to take a cab.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T13:20:30-05:00
Fortunately, it's only a half mile, so it's nothing onerous. It's more a matter of principle.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T13:45:41-05:00
If that were the case I'd walk to work nearly everyday. Would have $300 a month instead of pissing my money down the drain of a subway system that is falling apart nearly every damn day.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T14:25:34-05:00
Dude. Car trouble is the worst. Alternator shouldn't be too bad. As long as you are capable of doing it yourself.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T14:26:42-05:00
Ok. Car issues sick, but there's a lot worse stuff. It is just usually costly and never at a good time.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T14:27:15-05:00
*suck
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T14:36:09-05:00
GM, that's just a stereotype. And besides, I have a fairly multicultural family as well! I mean, my great-grandpa's brother I think married a black woman... or something... Actually, I think I'm 1/64th african-american. And in addition, maybe half the Philsons worldwide are black. So what if they were slaves that took the owner's name when they were freed? Oh... yeah... ok...
But hey, just from the last half dozen generations, I'm half german and parts british, irish, and scotts-irish. You got 4 cultures right there! Yeah, this isn't working out in my favor, is it? ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T14:37:58-05:00
@LZ, yeah, that sucks when it all piles up on you at a bad time, such as now, right before Christmas. All you can really do after all of that is laugh. What next right?
@BaKhan: That should have been "slippery slope", and the What next right? comment is what I was referring to.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-14T15:09:35-05:00
@GM, its more of a sarcasm thing. I find in my own life that its never just one thing, its normally a whole slew of bs at once, and after the initial rage of the myriad things pissing me off, I laugh. For real, the hilarity of the situation hits and I'll burst out laughing. I think its just a case of laugh or cry, and I've never been much of a one for crying. Its more of an acceptance that the world is trolling you, fighting back only makes it worse, crying is pointless (woe is me, etc.), and laughing is the only way to weaken its hold on your day. Might just be me though.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T15:11:38-05:00
I used to be the type that was over emotional....I literally cried for almost no reason. Then, almost over night, something flipped and I barely cry(funerals are basically the only time now).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T15:19:57-05:00
GM, there are people like that in every country, about the same percentage as well.
`
I used to be somewhat emotionally insensitive and actually gradually became more emotional. That makes me sound like a sociopath, but in truth, I do have some pretty sociopathic tendencies at times.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T15:23:48-05:00
@GM: So you don't cry when you watch the movie "Bambi"?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T15:33:34-05:00
Geist, I'd be the guy who strapped Bambi's mom to the hood of a buddy's pickup and rode into town screaming, drinking, and honking the horn obnoxiously. ;) Do people really do that?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T15:35:34-05:00
I'm sure I'll look back on this time and laugh. It just won't be today.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T15:42:46-05:00
The song that just came on seems appropriate for the day: "Riot" by Three Days Grace
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-14T16:01:20-05:00
I'd pass you a beer LZ but I my teleporter is busted at the moment.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-14T17:45:58-05:00
I love the Rick-Rolls. I just don't say anything so others will know.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T17:46:15-05:00
Yeah, we're going to scrap that car. I got it for $750. The cost to fix it just isn't worth it to me. It will help me get some exercise, as it means I'll be walking to work until the weather is warm enough for me to ride again.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-14T17:48:33-05:00
I don't click on YouTube links from Zem. They're too dangerous.
@LZ: The car I was supposed to get, would have cost us ~$900 to get road worthy, my dad bought it from my Grandpa for $20....so we gave it to a charity, and got a tax credit for it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T18:06:44-05:00
LZ, they're never (usually) NSFW, but I won't say I didn't learn from the internet. My friend actually led people into thinking he posted another predictable John Cena meme they would click on out of courtesy and curiosity just to Rick Roll them. He's the double troll I aspire to be.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-14T22:19:11-05:00
My typing speed is so much faster now! Why don't I do a lethal dose of coffee before writing papers?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T05:02:38-05:00
Morning kittens. Have you sent Santa your Christmas list?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-15T09:06:52-05:00
Good morning Geist. Yes I did. Only looking for 3 things. Robinson Crusoe board game. Complete works of H.P. Lovecraft. And a white noise machine. I have been told that the fan "Will not be on all winter!" So, I need something to help me sleep.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-15T09:07:05-05:00
What about you?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T09:09:11-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
This is going to sound cheesy/lame but all I want for Christmas is for everyone to have a better year! I want an end to this crap economy, I want prosperity for my friends and family, I want an end to all these terrorist attacks, and most importantly, more of that amazing hot sauce LZ makes!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-15T09:42:46-05:00
BaKhan, I totally agree. That's why I always help others out this time of year. So far that little girl who was the victim of arson, has received thousands and thousands of cards and gifts. Also, she has received over $300,000. The public outpouring for her has been amazing. Helping others is what this season is about!! And hotsauce. And Star Wars. And Brandy Old fashioneds.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:42:46-05:00
Why, of literally any single time all semester, was LAST night the one I couldn't sleep until after 5 am?! Didn't my body know today I have my 2 most difficult and important finals?! Less than 3 1/2 hours of sleep are NOT enough for that!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:44:16-05:00
Why, of literally ANY time of the entire semester, was last night the one night I couldn't sleep until well after 5 am?! Didn't my body know I have my 2 most difficult and important exams today?! Less than 3 1/2 hours of sleep are NOT enough for that!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:46:57-05:00
Really? Really, Kickstarter?! You eat my comment for THAT LONG?! I refreshed the comments like 4 times, even after I wrote the second comment (copy and paste after refreshing), and it still looked like it had succumbed to the dark abyss that is the KS Comments black hole where bad comments go to die. Then after I retype and send it, of course it comes back to life. Thanks, Orpheus. Tell me how your trip to Hades went.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:48:58-05:00
I want to not fail miserably on these finals for christmas, especially the 10 am one, my O chem final. Yet I can hardly type this morning I'm so tired. And hungry.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T09:49:09-05:00
@Zem, couldn't help but notice your earlier post (11 hours ago) about lethal doses of caffine, then your latest posts, about not being able to sleep. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out... ;) Cut back on the coffee man! As you get older, Zem, things change, ability to sleep on large doses of caffine being one of them. ;) As a rule, if you need to get a good sleep cut out all caffine at least 8 hours before you go to bed. Just saying... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:51:47-05:00
Yet I've finished pots of coffee at 11 pm and gone to sleep before 1 am before? Even this semester. Why couldn't I sleep for over 5 of the 8 most important hours of the semester? This is literally the first time all semester I've had trouble sleeping, which is really amazing in its own right. Oh well, gotta get ready for that chem final. Woo boy, can't wait!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T09:53:50-05:00
Yeah, that comment was at 8 or 9 pm yesterday, and I had finished it before then even, giving me more than 3-4 hours to get rid of the caffeine. I can see that keeping me up till 1:30, but not much later than that. And until this morning, I wasn't very stressed about these exams.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T09:56:38-05:00
@Trinkets: All I want is a clue to how to make medical school happen. I can figure out the rest.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T10:01:31-05:00
@Zem, best of luck with your exams! You can do it, just relax and try to focus. You've been getting ready for this point all semester, don't let yourself get flustered now, you've got this!
@Geist: I actually don't want anything for Christmas...spend time with family, and be able to spend time with friends, I'm happy...unless you can make it so that the payroll is automatically done perfectly the week after Christmas since I need to work it.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-15T11:08:19-05:00
This week should be a great week... should be getting 3 different KS rewards this week!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T11:21:53-05:00
Congrats Doc! Thats always a good time! I'm supposed to be getting one myself!
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-15T11:52:28-05:00
Yeah, me too. I haven't heard anything though
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-15T11:54:22-05:00
My entire bonus went to fixing my wife's car, which was a bummer because it meant that I couldn't get anything more than the core box of The Others. Scrapping my car is giving me enough to get the extras
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T12:07:55-05:00
Is the pledge manager for TO:7S out yet?
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-15T12:18:50-05:00
Not that I know of
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T12:20:08-05:00
Okay, whew! Thanks. I thought I might have missed it somehow.
Our friendly homophobe from TO:7S's homophobic comments were deleted.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-15T12:37:29-05:00
Awesome
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T12:52:15-05:00
@LZ, nope, not even a shipping notice. I wish I had it, I would love to be doing some painting, I always find it calming.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-15T12:53:58-05:00
I saw on the TO:7S thread that it was scheduled to arrive in the US/Canada hub yesterday.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T13:00:17-05:00
Oh, ok. Cool, well, I'm not sure it will be able to get to me before Christmas then, given how close we are and how much volume will be moving. Either way, I'll be getting it soon, and that will have to do. (thats my version of zen, as close as I get anyways...)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T13:42:56-05:00
I feel the worst I have in months right now and I don't even remember all the reasons why. The O chem exam might be part of it. It went fine for 60% of it, meaning I likely got a nice 40% right there, but the next 4 weren't nice at all. I spent the final 45 minutes of 2 1/2 hours trying to figure out one of the harder ones. Or maybe it was really easy and I'm just as bad as I think at that.
The lack of sleep didn't hit me during that exam, but it sure will during my 6-8 pm physics one.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T13:47:17-05:00
I actually don't want anything for Christmas
@GM: How about a hot doctor of your own? Or a hot lawyer? Or a hot chef?
@Geist: I've been working on that....though it's in the stage of "What the hell am I going to say to get her interest piqued?", so once I figure that out, I will be good(hopefully). Though, I don't think I will make it in time for Christmas...or even Boxing Day(Dec 26) where I could actually have her over and cook a nice dinner myself rather than spend who knows how much at a restaurant.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T14:08:54-05:00
I think first you should be worried how you're getting her interest piqued. There are definitely wrong ways of doing that.
Not one that's covering anything...except her escape.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T14:38:00-05:00
I just realized that today I'll be in exams for longer than I was asleep. That's not a good thing to realize. I may have time for a nap, but then I'll obviously have less time to study... decisions...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T14:38:09-05:00
@GM, probably not the best way to show off one's assets... cold = shrinkage... Reminds me of that Sienfeld episode with George changing after being in the pool, "They know about shrinkage right?!!!"
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T14:38:59-05:00
@Zem, choose sleep! Your tired brain won't be able to retain anything new anyways!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T14:42:52-05:00
BaKhan, my normal brain retains things like an already wet sponge.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T14:52:08-05:00
@Zem, my brain stores things in order of least importance to most important, focusing of course on the least important. For example scallops have upto 100 blue eyes. Why do I know that? I dunno, will it ever be useful for anything, probably not. How about that formula I use at least once a week for work? Nope, have to look it up every time... sigh. Stupid brain!
@BaKhan: You have what my mom refers to as "trivial pursuit memory". Able to recall the most trivial information anytime.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T14:53:21-05:00
Oh, and on the upside Zem, a wet sponge retains tons of bacteria and germs, so there's that anyways... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T14:55:34-05:00
@GM, thats my problem exactly. As long as its not important, and almost completely useless, I will remember it forever! Probably my worst example is pop song and country song retention... I really don't care for either genre, but do I know all the words, yep. >_>
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T14:58:04-05:00
BaKhan, those bacteria are the useless facts that take up no space and I can recall at any time without warning. I'm really good at quiz game type stuff because of my very extensive set of useless knowledge from reading dozens of fact and misconception books, spending time on the internet, and memorizing everything not important to daily use.
@GM, well taken women are certainly off limits, however, they are not all taken... Most doctors in your age range are likely still in school, as well. My wife didn't finish her schooling until she was 32 so, don't worry, they are out there! ;) Lots of available women out there... sadly you don't normally meet them until you are already taken yourself! Ah, such is life I'm afraid... ;)
@BaKhan: Well, as I noticed with the one on Friday, she had a ring with diamonds on her finger.
Looks like I'm getting the one project I REALLY want today. It's out for delivery. :D
@GM, your messanger bag? Congrats! I got notice for Ghostbusters for Thursday, so thats one anyways... ;)
Or maybe GM needs to travel more. Whose to say that is lovely lady isn't living in Scotland? Or New Zealand? Or (heaven forbid) the U.S.?
Bah! Life can suck it!
@Geist, its all true! Even if you don't meet anyone whilst travelling, you're still travelling, which is awesome! Lots of good people in the States! We love our southern neighbours! (well most of us do, anyways...)

@LZ: Just dream of the time when you'll be driven to work in a limo because of your hot sauce empire. That should cheer you up.
@GM, I prefer sneaker slopes, I've never been comfortable in slippers... ;) (not sure what comment you were refering to?)

@Geist: Is it really broken, or did you already drink it?
@GM: You caught me. Guilty as charged.
Thanks anyway, Geist!
PS get that thing fixed as soon as possible ;-)
@LZ, sounds more like a Slipknot: Wait and Bleed kind of day...
Could always go with Amon Amarth For Victory or Death
Could always go old school with some Iron Maiden: Die with your boots on!
Another good one would be Five Finger Death Punch: Under and Over It
How about this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Kidding!
I know its cheesy but I'm still fond of Limp Bizkit: Break Stuff
Or this one, though it kinda fits most days: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
The timing belt on the one car broke. $670 to fix it.
Amon Amarth!!!
https://youtu.be/FpR6Decvxh0
How many times have I Rick-Rolled you guys? I doubt any of you really check those, but it's funny to me.
@LZ: Those things are a bit of a pain to deal with, sorry to hear that's one of the issues.
Oooh.... and Dark Tranquility!!
https://youtu.be/xjK21yKoS0Y
I love the Rick-Rolls. I just don't say anything so others will know.
Yeah, we're going to scrap that car. I got it for $750. The cost to fix it just isn't worth it to me. It will help me get some exercise, as it means I'll be walking to work until the weather is warm enough for me to ride again.

My typing speed is so much faster now! Why don't I do a lethal dose of coffee before writing papers?!
Morning kittens. Have you sent Santa your Christmas list?
Good morning Geist. Yes I did. Only looking for 3 things. Robinson Crusoe board game. Complete works of H.P. Lovecraft. And a white noise machine. I have been told that the fan "Will not be on all winter!" So, I need something to help me sleep.
What about you?
Good Morning Kittens!
This is going to sound cheesy/lame but all I want for Christmas is for everyone to have a better year! I want an end to this crap economy, I want prosperity for my friends and family, I want an end to all these terrorist attacks, and most importantly, more of that amazing hot sauce LZ makes!
BaKhan, I totally agree. That's why I always help others out this time of year. So far that little girl who was the victim of arson, has received thousands and thousands of cards and gifts. Also, she has received over $300,000. The public outpouring for her has been amazing. Helping others is what this season is about!! And hotsauce. And Star Wars. And Brandy Old fashioneds.
Why, of literally any single time all semester, was LAST night the one I couldn't sleep until after 5 am?! Didn't my body know today I have my 2 most difficult and important finals?! Less than 3 1/2 hours of sleep are NOT enough for that!
Why, of literally ANY time of the entire semester, was last night the one night I couldn't sleep until well after 5 am?! Didn't my body know I have my 2 most difficult and important exams today?! Less than 3 1/2 hours of sleep are NOT enough for that!
Really? Really, Kickstarter?! You eat my comment for THAT LONG?! I refreshed the comments like 4 times, even after I wrote the second comment (copy and paste after refreshing), and it still looked like it had succumbed to the dark abyss that is the KS Comments black hole where bad comments go to die. Then after I retype and send it, of course it comes back to life. Thanks, Orpheus. Tell me how your trip to Hades went.
I want to not fail miserably on these finals for christmas, especially the 10 am one, my O chem final. Yet I can hardly type this morning I'm so tired. And hungry.
@Zem, couldn't help but notice your earlier post (11 hours ago) about lethal doses of caffine, then your latest posts, about not being able to sleep. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure it out... ;) Cut back on the coffee man! As you get older, Zem, things change, ability to sleep on large doses of caffine being one of them. ;) As a rule, if you need to get a good sleep cut out all caffine at least 8 hours before you go to bed. Just saying... ;)
Yet I've finished pots of coffee at 11 pm and gone to sleep before 1 am before? Even this semester. Why couldn't I sleep for over 5 of the 8 most important hours of the semester? This is literally the first time all semester I've had trouble sleeping, which is really amazing in its own right. Oh well, gotta get ready for that chem final. Woo boy, can't wait!
Yeah, that comment was at 8 or 9 pm yesterday, and I had finished it before then even, giving me more than 3-4 hours to get rid of the caffeine. I can see that keeping me up till 1:30, but not much later than that. And until this morning, I wasn't very stressed about these exams.
@Trinkets: All I want is a clue to how to make medical school happen. I can figure out the rest.
@Zem, best of luck with your exams! You can do it, just relax and try to focus. You've been getting ready for this point all semester, don't let yourself get flustered now, you've got this!
@Geist, here you go... http://www.uwmedicine.org/education/md-program/admissions/applicants/applications
Morning kittens.
@Geist: I actually don't want anything for Christmas...spend time with family, and be able to spend time with friends, I'm happy...unless you can make it so that the payroll is automatically done perfectly the week after Christmas since I need to work it.
This week should be a great week... should be getting 3 different KS rewards this week!
Congrats Doc! Thats always a good time! I'm supposed to be getting one myself!
Yeah, me too. I haven't heard anything though
My entire bonus went to fixing my wife's car, which was a bummer because it meant that I couldn't get anything more than the core box of The Others. Scrapping my car is giving me enough to get the extras
Is the pledge manager for TO:7S out yet?
Not that I know of
Okay, whew! Thanks. I thought I might have missed it somehow.
Have you received your Z:BP core box yet?
Our friendly homophobe from TO:7S's homophobic comments were deleted.
Awesome
@LZ, nope, not even a shipping notice. I wish I had it, I would love to be doing some painting, I always find it calming.
I saw on the TO:7S thread that it was scheduled to arrive in the US/Canada hub yesterday.
Oh, ok. Cool, well, I'm not sure it will be able to get to me before Christmas then, given how close we are and how much volume will be moving. Either way, I'll be getting it soon, and that will have to do. (thats my version of zen, as close as I get anyways...)
I feel the worst I have in months right now and I don't even remember all the reasons why. The O chem exam might be part of it. It went fine for 60% of it, meaning I likely got a nice 40% right there, but the next 4 weren't nice at all. I spent the final 45 minutes of 2 1/2 hours trying to figure out one of the harder ones. Or maybe it was really easy and I'm just as bad as I think at that.
The lack of sleep didn't hit me during that exam, but it sure will during my 6-8 pm physics one.
I actually don't want anything for Christmas
@GM: How about a hot doctor of your own? Or a hot lawyer? Or a hot chef?
@Geist: I've been working on that....though it's in the stage of "What the hell am I going to say to get her interest piqued?", so once I figure that out, I will be good(hopefully). Though, I don't think I will make it in time for Christmas...or even Boxing Day(Dec 26) where I could actually have her over and cook a nice dinner myself rather than spend who knows how much at a restaurant.
I think first you should be worried how you're getting her interest piqued. There are definitely wrong ways of doing that.
...So, that's a no to the naked dance in the snow?
That depends, GM. Is there a ribbon involved?
Not one that's covering anything...except her escape.
I just realized that today I'll be in exams for longer than I was asleep. That's not a good thing to realize. I may have time for a nap, but then I'll obviously have less time to study... decisions...
@GM, probably not the best way to show off one's assets... cold = shrinkage... Reminds me of that Sienfeld episode with George changing after being in the pool, "They know about shrinkage right?!!!"
@Zem, choose sleep! Your tired brain won't be able to retain anything new anyways!
BaKhan, my normal brain retains things like an already wet sponge.
@Zem, my brain stores things in order of least importance to most important, focusing of course on the least important. For example scallops have upto 100 blue eyes. Why do I know that? I dunno, will it ever be useful for anything, probably not. How about that formula I use at least once a week for work? Nope, have to look it up every time... sigh. Stupid brain!
@BaKhan: You have what my mom refers to as "trivial pursuit memory". Able to recall the most trivial information anytime.
Oh, and on the upside Zem, a wet sponge retains tons of bacteria and germs, so there's that anyways... ;)
@GM, thats my problem exactly. As long as its not important, and almost completely useless, I will remember it forever! Probably my worst example is pop song and country song retention... I really don't care for either genre, but do I know all the words, yep. >_>
BaKhan, those bacteria are the useless facts that take up no space and I can recall at any time without warning. I'm really good at quiz game type stuff because of my very extensive set of useless knowledge from reading dozens of fact and misconception books, spending time on the internet, and memorizing everything not important to daily use.
