Well, my birthday get-together was yesterday. I ended up getting a Bowie knife, incense with a crazy skeleton throne burner, and enough money to buy Ethiopia and then some ($90)
Also, we found out my friend can set off car alarms from three blocks away with her blood-curdling scream.
I wish I'd had my camera out for that "people of walmart" site.
We went to pick up some groceries and two separate people were in renfaire getup. We couldn't figure it out because it was too shittily made to be SCA stuff and the ren faire is 2 hours south of here.
It was like, HIE THEE TO WALMART, SPOTTY TOOTHLESS WENCH
Anyway, we have a pioneer heritage festival going the next town north of us and that's all I can figure out. Their costumes weren't even accurate for a renaissance faire, much less a pioneer days festival, but what the hell. Judging from pictures I've seen, the pioneer thing hasn't stopped random idiots from showing up dressed as Jack Sparrow. I'm from olden tymes, hurrr hurrr hurrrrr.
I've noticed this about lately. Is it new and from something I haven't seen? Or is it old and I've previously been more successful in filtering it out?
Got super excited about making bodies for my dried apple heads and drove extra far to buy material and wire and all the other shit I needed and then remembered on the drive home that my sewing machine is busted, so I can't sew the clothes (I suck at hand stitching).
Ordered a decaf coffee today because I wanted to drink coffee. I thought decaf wouldn't taste different (I've always half-suspected that they give you caffeinated whether you want decaf or not). I was really surprised that it didn't have the familiar bitter coffee flavor. It was pretty mellow. So I guess I learned something today.
Do you have a parathyroid problem? That's how they figured out I had one. Kept getting kidney stones because my parathyroid wasn't processing calcium and my body didn't know what to do with it- went straight to my kidneys.
I got put on some sort of industrial-strength dose of Vitamin D and now I don't get kidney stones.
