Buncha Random Stuff

Ok ok ok ok, so I'm a spaz. I'm watching videos and I can't do just that. I've been playing games and surfing the web, and now writing things on my blog. I'll probably do some cross stitch later. If my post is a little disjointed with the wrong word or bad grammar... sorry. I'm watching Xena. It may also be Xena-based. Because I'm watching it.

So, boiled eggs. I made some today for lunch. Or breakfast. Or brunch. Anyways, I really don't like peeling them. Especially when the egg sticks to the shell. Then there's that last bit of membrane that is icky to eat but sometimes hard to get off. However, peeling them is better than the alternative of not peeling them. I don't know how bad it is to eat egg shells, and I don't intend to find out. They may tear up ones innards or they may give one extra calcium. Who knows? It will remain one of life's mysteries.

So Xena knows some pressure points that can kill, Kill Bill has the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique" that makes a person's heart explode after five steps, and even Batman: The Animated Series had the Touch of Death. These are all based off of legends that martial artists could kill by putting pressure or pinching certain points on the body. Well, I paused Xena long enough to read this article: Is the "Ninja Death Touch" real? It seems that there are points where certain injuries can occur consistently when struck, but death is usually accidental and not related to martial arts (i.e. a gymnast falls, hits her head, and dies with little apparent injury). It makes sense that if these points can help heal (i.e. acupuncture, acupressure) they can also injure. Anyways, it's an interesting article and it isn't very long.

OMG Gabrielle just threw a rock and beaned someone right on the noggin!

Anyway, I want some string cheese. Or something sweet. I have muffins. I think I'ma go eat a muffin. BRB... There we go. Chocolate chip and pink.

So I put my hair in a bun for church and I haven't taken it out. I'm not used to it being up like this. I'm used to a pony tail. I just went to tighten it, like I do with my pony tails, but it doesn't work the same way with buns. My hands went up and instead of grabbing a pony tail I felt the bun. It's really cool looking. I did a good job, especially considering I only did it once before, a couple nights ago. And it's stayed up. Yay!

Well, I'm done with random ramblings for now. Time to finish my muffin!

Xena Weekend

Ah, Xena! The only person in the universe that can have "La la la la la la la" as a battle cry. I'm having a Xena weekend. I recently got Netflix and can watch movies on my compy, and the Xena series is one of them. This show is all about feminine strength and sexiness. I find that combination funny. When attractive women walk around with low-cut tops and short skirts, people don't think, "I bet she's smart with valuable opinions" or "I bet she can beat me up," nor do they simply not notice. They think one of two things: "What a whore" or "OMG look at her bewbs!!!! And those legs! *drool*" But it's fantasy. So it's ok for the women to walk around wearing practically nothing.

Spiders on Drugs

This is a fascinating video about the effects of different drugs, including caffeine, on spiders and their webs.

What Shall I Post About Today?

So, I'm really not sure what to post about right now. It's kinda weird. I have a desire to post something, but I don't know what about. So I figure I'll just post about not knowing what to post about. I'll see how amusing I can be. Don't get too excited, though, I don't want to disappoint.

...Nothing is coming to me.

I'll just leave you with the random quote:
"I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode. I think it was called, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down." ~Homer Simpson~

I Wonder Why That Car's Side is Wrecked?

I was driving to school the other day when a car in the opposite lane decided to turn left at the intersection. When he did, I had to slam on the brakes a little more than one would expect having to do when one has the right-of-way. As he passed in front of me I saw that the side of his car was pretty trashed. I sarcastically thought to myself, "Gee I wonder why?"

It's not the first time I've seen a car do something stupid in front of me or someone else and notice evidence of a failed attempt at a similar thing at a previous time. If that made sense. If it didn't, that's ok. It made sense to me. Sort of. Well it really did but I can't think of a good way of saying that.

On an unrelated note, I just saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time today. I guess I'm behind the times or something since I should have already seen it. Tell me honestly, were you surprised that I had gone almost 25 years without seeing it? Just so that you all know, it came out when I was 3. I don't know why that's important, but it might be.

Extra long random quote:
Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.
Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu...
Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother...
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Brother Maynard: Amen.
All: Amen.
