When I was young, it made sense. We didn’t have call display. Nobody had call display. Whenever the phone rang, we had to answer it. There was as good a chance that your grandma or your dad’s work would be on the other end as there was that you’d end up talking to some fucking […]

Another Trip Through The MRI
I wish I’d discovered this song last time. Or maybe I don’t. Yes, I was told to go back to the MRI for another scan. Basically, last time I was sent there, they found an itcy bitcy teeny weeny spot on my pituitary. Hmmm that almost works like the yellow Polka dot Bikini song. Anyway […]
They’d Be Broke
It occurs to me as I sit here with the song playing in the background that the Barenaked Ladies are lucky that they wrote “If I Had $1000000” when they did. Had they written it today, they’d have gotten to the line about buying a house and that would be it. I wish I was […]
I Sometimes Feel Old!
I just got this from Gill. It’s funny that she happened to send it now, since I’m having my own bout of the elderlies this week. Seppa-Tebby-Tebby is in Junior Kindergarten. Seriously. I don’t know how that happened. Today is his third day. From what I hear, he seems to like it. I’m supposed to […]
Not All Medicine Is Star Trek Medicine
I’ve been thinking a bit more about Carin’s post. She’s totally right. I pretty much only watch Star Trek when other people make me, but I’ve seen more than enough to get how hilarious it is. But there’s at least one drug that doesn’t come straight out of some alien world. Skyrizi. Maybe I’m the […]
Space: The Pharma Frontier
You can tell that because we’re at home more, there’s more time for things on TV to seep into my subconscious. One day, I looked at Steve and said “So many names of drugs sound like things out of Star Trek!” I think he thought I was nuts, but he humoured me, and eventually I […]
I Came Out Of Lockdown For The 2020st Of Reasons
Well hi there! I sure have been quiet lately, haven’t I? Part of that is the traditional summer slowdown, part of it is my ever present sleep issues being especially present the last few weeks and part of it, at least in the last couple of days, was being out experiencing the world for the […]
How We Are
lyrics are here. I figured now would be a good time to say how we’re doing. I know that soundtrack is a little dark, and it’s darker than it needs to be, but it’s been going through my head, in the sense that when something sudden and life-changing happens, your priorities completely shift. It feels […]
Your Name Stinks
Somebody must have had this thought already, but I just had it now, so… Why is deodorant called deodorant and not reodorant? Decluttering makes sense. It turns a space from messy to clean. De-worming makes sense. It removes parasites from people and animals. Deforestation makes sense. It turns a forest into not a forest. But […]
How In the World Do You Shop Online For Clothes?
I’m not just asking for the benefit of blind people like me, I really want to know how someone does it in general without it becoming an enormous pain in the ass. To be clear, I’m not talking about buying things like funny t-shirts or sports hats. I don’t even think I’m talking about underwear, […]
