Alive in the Superunknown.
Saw something funny in the elevator this AM. A young, hip, lithe woman with earbuds and lovely butterfly tattoos gets in followed by an older, less stylish woman. The latter gave her SUCH an evil scanning up and down. I can't believe the former didn't notice but she was happily in her own head. But I noticed. It was wicked. I've never seen such an obvious but silent elevator bitch (verb) before.
I'm interviewed for the latest MonsterTalk » Episode 128 Spooky Geology http://www.skeptic.com/podcasts/monstertalk/17/05/17/
FB and birdsite are havens of people giving me advice that I didn't ask for, assuming I'm dumb. No my back pain is NOT a fucking heart attack. No I'm not using herbal meds. No I don't need you to tell me about when to walk my dog. GODDAMN IT. People need to shut UP!
So you've heard about apparitions and hauntings that seem to play like a tape recording? There is a "theory" called the "Stone Tape" used by para-celebs. http://sharonahill.com/the-stone-tape-theory-of-hauntings-a-geological-perspective/ #geology
Oh fucking crap. It's Mothers Day weekend. I hate holidays.
@ElectricMink I agree. It's a good place to get an overview. But you have to get better sources to be credible.
@jason I am a civil servant. It's my job. I can't say anything back and I can't even publicly express my outrage about what is politically troubling. As a person who gets passionate about stuff, it can be maddening. I keep my real job issues out of the public eye.
I can't gracefully handle situations when I have to hear people tell me how awful my philosophy, group, or values are and I'm not allowed to respond or my response is ignored. But that's what things are like these days. So my frustration is getting internalized. And it's bound to come out inappropriately when I don't want it to. So apologies in advance for ripping your face off. You don't deserve that overreaction.
@ScottMortimer My kids hate reading. I'm crushed. I have always had books around. I even wrote one. Still they don't get it and sit and watch screens with videos for hours. Processing words is so much more involved than listening or watching.
You know a report is bad when your first comment would be "go read Wikipedia to get real information".
@jason And these were books with real editors (presumably). Most other books, they make you do your own proofing.
@jason Are we... old?
Sudden onset of muscle cramping in my upper middle back. Is this muscle spasms? I didn't do anything! Was just sitting. It hurts to breathe. I'm at work so I can't lie down. Or drink vodka. 😣
I wish I liked "neat videos" in place of news stories. I just don't. Takes too long. Not enough worthwhile content.
Blue Monday for me today.

Why do those people cutting traffic queues and tailgating me to go faster (in a school zone, even) always seem to be driving pickup trucks? #cognitivebias observation. Happened this morning. #jerk
Never tell me how to feel: "calm down" "chill" "smile". How do you feel when I tell you to PISS OFF?
I have an Industrial strength Sharpie. Anyone need a permanent fake mustache?
