You can say that again! I was very sleep deprived when I wrote that post anyhow. I can only vaguely remember writing it.

Anyhoo, today I learned that Karma does exist. The bad kind, anyhow. And it's rather nice when it hits someone else...

Today, I discovered the plotline for Prison Break season 5: Michael Schofield and friends spend 25 episodes attempting to break into a small portion of raspberry jam that has an easy opening.

Learned yesterday:

- no matter how many times you tell them not to keep fiddling with that half-broken thing because they'll just end up wrecking it completely, husbands will fiddle.
- husbands should not be allowed to play with fire or sharp things
- shoving the sharp rough corner of a metal blind-rail under your thumbnail into the flesh of your thumb (while mending the mess aforesaid husband made) is a thouroughly unpleasant experience and should not be repeated.
- thumbs bleed a lot more than one would expect.
- also, I now know how to take apart and reassemble sliding blinds, having had to take them apart and reassemble them 6 times to get everything working.

Learned today:
- inflatable parrots are larger than inflatable palmtrees. Where's the logic in that?

Sometimes long video clips on the internet are well worth it...see below link... All hail Scagata...

YesButNoButYes: Ascension

Hail!
Great video Mazekin. It was worth almost being late for work to watch it.

Just learnt: Japanese word order is hard!

The sentence : 'Mr. Tanaka is going to the Department store with Mr Miller.'
becomes : 'Mr. Tanaka is Mr. Miller and the Department store to going.'

Waaaa! I'm never going to get it right!

The official medical term for getting up to pee in the middle of the night is Nocturia

It is possible to cough so hard that you strain a rib. And it hurts a lot too!

Poor thing, get well soon, eh, and I'll get that kite ready to tie it to the big spike...

Thanks Kat, feeling better already, just wouldn't be able to run with the string right now... Or run to the front door...

Yikes - get well soon, Mazekin!

Thanks M - feeling much better. Antibiotics and painkillers rule!

Relearned today that Multivariable Calculus is evil. The only thing saving my grade is the prof is giving us a free quiz if we take this survey about the new book they are getting next year(probably much better than the one we have and I probably won't get anything for selling this one back) and he's dropping the two lowest quizzes.

For the second time this fall, learned that supermarket-bought seaweed salad contains jellyfish! Gah! I love seaweed, but without its original inhabitants, please!

Today I learned that you can buy seaweed salad...in a supermarket of all places!

Also learned:

My brother who lives on an island has now declared himself president, as all of the cattle and horses have been moved back onto the mainland for the winter. He is also denying that he is a dictator...even though he voted himself into office.

People are idiots.

Learned yesterday: those new blister-plasters do more bad than good. They mean you don't feel it as the blister becomes a double or triple-layer blister and when you peel off the plaster that is by now coming unstuck, a few layers of skin come with it and you are left with a gaping raw hole in your heel.

Trying to put shoes back on after learning the previous item is not a good idea.

Also, I think I may just have experienced a true CMOT sausage. Although I'm not quite sure it contained any pig. Do not buy Tesco budget sausages.
