Random Rants 75: This is Bat Country!

[Takhisis]

Yeah, well, babies are sort of geometric anomalies. They defy our current understanding of physics.
My upstairs neighbours had a lot of fun which resulted in a child being born. This means that Takhisis gets to not sleep because the baby seems programmed, with some sort of clockwork mechanism, to start bawling in the room slightly above his (without having participated in the fun) and Takhisis also gets to wonder how something the size of his forearm can move more air than the most potent turbo-fan he uses in the summer. At least, there's some small comfort in the knowledge that they will also have to deal with a lot of nappy-changing.

Perhaps babies have some unknown infinitely renewable energy source that gradually dwindles as they get older. Could the answer to all of our energy problems really have been right under our noses the whole time?

It's called ‘youth’, man.

Changed the password on my laptop today - and now spending all day trying to type in the old one and wondering why it won't accept it!!

I had to take a nap today on my office desk, because I was so exhausted. I hope this is only a side effect of the time change, and doesn't indicate that I'm getting sick, because this is like really the week of the year where I cannot have that.

Not happening, as it seems .
My parents are coming tomorrow from Germany, because I am defending my PhD on Thursday. After that i have a lunch for 50 people organized, abd a bigger party on Friday, even hired a DJ.
And right now I'm lying in bed, sweating. I think I'll be able to get through everything if it doesn't get worse... but who knows?
Goddamn ***********************

I hope it goes smoothly without any hiccups!

[Takhisis]

You can't handle the proof.

Thanks , but I'm actually physically sick right now, and not nervous (well, that'll come a bit, I'm sure). So I'm hoping that whatever I have right now will go away until Thursday :/.

Narf!

My system for taking the California bar exam: prepare, relax, focus on the problem facing you, execute.

Afterwards, I reminded myself of the passage from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:
"The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on.
Not all your piety nor wit can call it back to erase half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a single word."
You are The_J. You shall emerge victorious.

But I mean, it has to all be built up in there somewhere before it comes out, right?

I'm a little concerned about inadequate peristaltic action causing a build up on pooh. Mention this to your pediatrician. Left unchecked, this could lead to a career in politics.

Nausea sick or sniffly sick? Plenty of liquids, good hot soup? and a couple of aspirins or tylenol if you are not allergic....hugs from mom and dad and a good nights sleep

At this point, marranating in my own thoughts of what I done in the past decade or two.

 

[yung.carl.jung]

what do you marinate your thoughts in? I usually do a simple mix of soy sauce, mirin, ginger and garlic

 

[Broken_Erika]

I just bury them.

I have pretty much adopted this as a universal substitute for soy sauce. Haven't tried it on thoughts though. Back in the day my usual marinade for that was some sort of tequila mixture.
