Random Thoughts X: Impromptu Interpretations

The skin on my knuckles has dried up for the winter. I need to find a good moisturizer that won’t irritate the skin.

Man, just stop beating up so many people.

Ask the officer on the front desk of your local police station what they use.

At the beginning of 2020, just having turned 50, I got a colonoscopy. Little did I realize, things would be going downhill from there.

They really do need to find a way to make colonoscopy prep less dire. When I had mine, it was short notice, so they gave me the two-hour enema instead. It felt like the worst intestinal attack I've ever had in my life. True misery. I was begging for them to just put me under when the time came, and then I found out that the wait list for general anesthetic was over six months long due to COVID, so it was sedation or nothing.

Luckily, the sedation worked.

But Christ, what an ordeal.

Colonoscopy prep is not much fun. Worse than then procedure itself. When I had my last one, no polyps at all. So I'm done with that going forward.

But other "delights" await you as you age. Get your PSA checked. Get your eye pressure checked.

The procedure itself featured a very good-looking anesthesiologist knocking me out. 5/5, I would do that again. (Probably worth mentioning here that I've never done any drugs aside from alcohol, and never lost consciousness for any reason besides sleeping.) Still, not worth the prep.

I had a colonoscopy a few weeks back. A Discord friend asked me what to expect for their upcoming one. I told them that their bowel would probably feel like Yellowstone erupted, and to never assume it's just a fart.

Aveeno is good.

Together with your usertitle this gives rise to all sorts of misinterpretations.

Oracle’s Larry Ellison has moved to Hawaii?

Did he carve a lair out of a volcano? I don’t know anything about the nature of his business but holy cow that guy looks like a Bond villain.

He just has a long face? (and thrown in little mustache).

Basically his facial features look as if they were produced by being pounded until his face developed resistance to any movement. Or maybe he played the guitar with his face - the strings will do that to your fingertips.

I’ve moved to the State of Hawaii and I’ll be using the power of Zoom to work from the island of Lanai. Mahalo, Larry.”

Ellison, 76, who has a net worth of about $75 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, owns 98% of Lanai, Hawaii’s sixth largest island that’s mostly made up of Ellison’s luxury hotels and resorts. Ellison is the main employer of Lanai’s 3,000 residents. In addition to his three hotels, he also owns a significant chunk of the housing stock as well as the main grocery store and the monthly newspaper there.

Yes, he moved to his own private Hawaiian island. It used to be own by Dole Pineapple.

Gotta love how he can force the entire corporation to relocate to Texas from California but he himself can choose to go someplace different

He's been here for years, he owns nearly all of the island of Lana'i.

I don't know if he carved any lairs in Mount Lana'ihale, the only volcano on the island (really, the eroded remnants of a long-dormant shield volcano that once made up around a significant chunk of a much larger island that existed a million years ago), but it wouldn't surprise me all that much if he did.

If you want oligarch bond villain you should go with the Bogdanoffs, they even had massive plastic surgery to look like their native Delta Draconians.

Maybe they’re just waiting for Genesis to make another video for “Land of Confusion.”

Cartesian geometry? What year is this, 1664?
At least there's no mention of Wallis

Our fox is feeling quite comfortable in our garden nowadays. He calmly did his business on the lawn in broad daylight whilst my Mum shouted and gestured at him from the French Window.

Foxes aren't pets. And afaik their urine will leave a very intense and revolting smell if any water falls on it.
They are a metaphor for gremlins.

You've adopted a fox, or did it simply decide your lawn is a good place to be? I'd love to hear whole story behind that, since the way you wrote this suggest the latter.

Took our dog to vet for his annual shots today. Getting him inside was the hard part. For some reason, he's deathly afraid to go inside buildings other than our house, even when visiting relatives. The actual shots were no problem.
That's the way it is with dogs from shelters. In my experience, most of them carry some kind of trauma from the past. Our previous dog was afraid of doors and narrow passages. It was probably linked with his scars...

Its adopted us. Our garden has been part of its range all year (possibly longer but I'd guess its only a year or so old) but its the only fox we've seen here in daylight and so long as we are in the house, not the garden, it ignores us.
