My Eyelashes are Exceedingly Long
That is all.
Antarctica
One of the best presents I received as a kid was National Geographic’s three VHS set of “Antarctica: Life in the Freezer,” narrated by David Attenborough. As you know if you’ve read this blog, I used to be OBSESSED with Antarctica (and still kind of am), so I watched the hell out of those tapes again and again and again.
I have a DVD of it now, but I just stumbled upon a YouTube playlist of a few clips from the show, so here they are for your enjoyment.
Yeah, I have this basically memorized still, haha.
/_\
I’m sorry, I just saw this picture and I can’t stop laughing.
Maybe that’s because it’s like 4:30 AM, but still.
Creepy-Ass Night Monks
Read the title.
Don’t these look like giant monks?
Aren’t they CREEPY AS HELL?
Oh my god, if I didn’t know what they actually were (wrapped pillars for a building going up) I’d be 100% freaked out by them.
God I love the internet
Never thought I’d see bread tag taxonomy, but here it is and it’s glorious.
Sorry, sorry…occlupanids. Occlupanid taxonomy. Gotta get it right, because this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
I am 100% going to start classifying any occlupanids I stumble across. And keep an eye out for the occlupanopsida as well.
Also, I think this one has the best description and name.
LOL I HATE THIS SEMESTER
That is all.
Ya’ll ever think about how weird the word “grocery” is?
Grocery.
Grocery.
Grocery.
I’m going to get groceries.
I’m not high, I promise.
Today has been a FRUSTRATING day
And I don’t feel like blogging.
So this is all you get.
Come fight me, I dare you.
PENultimate
I absolutely love people who have niche hobbies or interests and decide to share those things with the world.
I also love how everyone in the comments are either fellow pen enthusiasts or are people who just stumbled upon this video but were enthralled by it and watched the review.
Also, the dude has a Padres City Connect hat in the background…dig it.
Why am I dumb?
I just smelled my armpits to see if I put on deodorant.
I AM ANOSMIC
I HAVE BEEN ANOSMIC SINCE BIRTH
I hate myself even more now, but at the same time this is a really great demonstration of behavioral mimicry – maybe not in a one-on-one situation, but in a “I’ve seen people do this action before, so I’ll do it too!” sort of sense.
(I’m still an idiot, though.)
It’s Every Damn Day with These Toenails, Man
There’s a blog title for ya.
Anyway, now a THIRD toe on my left foot has decided that toenails are out of fashion and is trying to get rid of his.
There’s a lot of blood in my sock, haha.
The funny thing is that all the toes on my right foot are ABSOLUTELY FINE. But there must be something about the way I walk/run that just brutalizes the toes on my left foot.
I’m guessing I still treat my whole right leg with more caution than the left, since my right knee was the one I hurt back in 2017.
But who knows.
Anyway, they can do what they want; I’m not stopping.
Random pics on my phone
Why?
BECAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!
!
(!)
This is what U of C has to do practically every time it rains, haha.
More.
It’s Mr. P Potty!
This ravioli is fantastic. Try it if you can find it.
Hahaha.
Pretty!
Have I posted this on here before?
I don’t know. And I don’t care. Today has sucked and I have no blog content.
BYE
New frames, but…
So I picked out some new glasses frames last time I was at the eye doctor because my oldest pair of frames is ready to snap in half and my other oldest pair is kind of my backup.
I picked out a pair of frames while wearing a mask, ‘cause I refuse to take my mask off indoors just yet.
So I picked out a pair of frames that looked good on me while wearing a mask. Turns out these frames look absolutely horrible on me when I’m not wearing a mask.
Because of course they do.
So I guess I’ll keep wearing the other frames at home and on Zoom meetings and just wear these new ones whenever I have to wear a mask.
Which is pretty much all the time if I’m not out walking/running or at home, so I guess they’ll get good use.
Edit: Pic with frames + mask.
My brain right now:
Does it make any sense?
No?
NEITHER DOES MY BRAIN
THE ASS IS UP
What’s the ASS? It’s the giant Air Supported Structure that they built over a football field in Montgomery to turn it into a seasonal field.
It’s hard to capture how big it really is in pictures, but it does cover the WHOLE football field.
And it’s supposedly going to withstand the wind/hail/snow/chaos weather that Calgary gets.
Coolio?
TWO HOURS OF SLEEP! TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF RUNNING!
A PITA! A GATORADE!
DEHYDRATION? PERIOD CRAMPS?
INFINITE SADNESS!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH
Suburbia
North America is so broken, yo. I don’t think we even realize that our standard ridiculous cities and inaccessible suburbs are NOT the norm in other parts of the world.
I love this vid so much.
It’s Too Darn Hot
Annnnnnnnd now I’ve got this stuck in my head:
It’s 84-ish degrees today, which isn’t SUPER hot by any means (we would have killed for that temp during last year’s heat dome), but still. Gross.
Also, I ran 15 miles this morning and then walked a total of five miles on top of that, so I’m pretty over the heat right now.
(Also it’s allergy central, which doesn’t help things.)
The Ongoing Saga of Claudia’s Toenail: An Update
So in a fit of jealous rage over my middle toe getting all the attention, my second toe decided to turn all black and blue for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
So now I’ve got this nonsense going on:
Party time.
Pantone Perfection
WHEN YOUR PANTS MATCH YOUR SHOES
AND YOU CAN’T SING THE BLUES
CAMOUFLAGÉ
(total rip-off of the wonderful “when the moon hits your knees / and you mispronounce trees / sycamore”)
The Ongoing Saga of Claudia’s Toenail
So remember when my years-blackened toenail decided to get some therapy to get over his issues and eventually found a way to shed the dead upper toenail layer in order to allow the healthy(-ish) toenail layer thrive from beneath?
Yeah, I accidentally rammed him into a weight a few nights ago and now he looks like this:
Life’s rough.
It’s Post Toe-matic Stress Disorder okay I’m done.
FRANCH
How’s my French going? Here are a few examples of the level I’m currently at:
Not too bad for two months’ worth I guess? It’s really fun. I try to make up my own sentences when I’m running and I’ve sometimes had some French in my dreams.
WOO!
