not made of tuesday

If you’re fortunate to live near a Cobs Bread, go try their new scones. I’ve never had a tastier handheld breakfast, and the cinnamon one is particularly delightful. Don’t let the terrifying thumbs up man scare you away – they are fantastic.

I know I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating – I HATE it when online news stories are video only. I like to READ my news, not have it spoon-fed to me. I am mildly curious – in passing only, of course – at how a parrot managed to save a 2-year-old from choking (I imagine it has something to do with the parrot flying down the child’s throat and retrieving the obstruction), but I will never know because I can’t read the article. Is this great internet of ours creating a generation of idiots who have to have everything read out loud before comprehension sets in? Are we really headed for a future where libraries are an anachronism of the past? What if the parrot story was destined to change my life? Shit. Maybe I should watch the video despite my protests.

Today is a Big Day for my private parts – Validation Day! Not only do I get to show her that look, something is not right down there and let’s talk about fixing it already, but I get to introduce my shiny new theory: KELOID! Hooray! I have a sneaking suspicion that my last cyst did indeed rupture, but instead of going quietly into the night, decided to scar over and be all lumpy and itchy. Let’s see her try to say THIS is all in my imagination! Take that, doctor!

Stupid vagina.

  1. I am with you on the video news stories. I like when they have them with a text link next to it so you can read the transcript if you want. All too often, however, they don’t have that little link. Video news annoys me.

  2. I HATE it when online news stories are video only.

    YES YES YES. Hugest pain in the hoohaw EVER. Worse than cramps, by golly.

    It doesn’t help that I have a lovely Hardware Fail issue on my work computer that prevents me from watching most videos. Flash-based ala Youtube, I can generally do, but anything else locks up the whole system.

    Also, I’m doing 16 things at once. If I wanted a video, I’d go to a video site. I hate it when things start randomly playing on one of the tabs I’ve got open, and god only knows which one…

  3. I hate the video thing too. I know one of the photographers for the Calgary Sun (Local news in tabloid form!) and the big bosses are trying to turn the photographers into videographers so that they can post more videos of news stories online. Him and I both think that is a ridiculous idea.

    Plus, if I’m reading the news at work (which I’m sure a lot of people do now). I’d rather be able to read and tab away and switch between a lot of things and go back to the story. You can’t do that with video, you end up missing the whole thing.

  4. Sorry to hear your vag is havin’ issues. Personally, I find few things as annoying as vag issues and I’ve had a few of my own; itchy and lumpy being especially obnoxious.

    Perhaps it’s just an ingrown hair? They are the ugly (and painful at times) bane of my existence but at least they’re not lethal or anything. Good luck, young vag! May ye be hearty and healthy forthwith (or something like that).

    PS Yes, dear; we know you have a kitten in your pants. Girls tend to have those…
