Perhaps the best ever episode of Samauri Jack last night.. a really good treatment of a exciting and yet spooky posessed house story. Speaking of which - Real-life ghost stories. I don't know if any of them are real, but I like to pretend they are, and then proceed to scare the tar out of myself. After about twenty or thirty minutes of them, sitting in your room with the lights off, you start to hear things; start to imagine what might be outside the window right now, waiting for you.

The MRI company screwed up, and thought that my appointment is today rather than wednesday.. so I had call to reschedule cancel my appointment for the foot piece. I'm sure the MRI has priority. I've left a message, and hopefully they canfit me in wednesday about the time of my last appt.

Semi-cheated and added more feeds to my friend's list. I don't feel too guilty, because there's no huge text, just comics and pictures of the day. I made a filter that will allow viewing of feeds that are primarily "pictures" I don't know if it'll work for folks that aren't me, though. (warning, some of the photos can be bandwidth suckers)

I would also like a swimming pool to work in, and a Jacuzzi to soften up before, and relax in after. While I'm making wishes, I haven't had takeout in forever, and the last time I've eaten out was with Dan at Subway the other week. I'm in the mood for some delicious, not-made-by-me, fresh food. There's an assortment of things I'd really enjoy, but I would really like some Thai or Indian food especially, but I could go for just about anything that didn't come out of the freezer or cupboard. I suspect the latter is more of an immediate possibility.

I noticed that the userpic page is now 2-up, rather than one long strip of icons. I'm not sure which style I prefer.

Samauri Jack was absolutely gorgeous last night! I love the artwork anyway but last night was such a departure that it was riveting. Likey likey. Ghost stories are probably what keeps a lot of kids alive, they're too afraid to go in those creepy old places where the real danger is falling through the floor or something! :o)

Olestra is creepy stuff. I have read articles about it that make me wonder at the lengths people will go to in order to abuse themselves. I understand that fats are hard to resist and chips are yummy. Ok just don't eat a whole bag? Instead they will eat chips fried in liquid plastic. The stuff makes me instantly ill, I'm not sure how it affects others but I can always tell when it is in a product.

I love swimming but I have allergies. It's always been my dream to have my own swimming pool so I don't have to have all those chemicals that public ones use.

I really enjoyed it too, sort of a rough-charcoal rendering. it gave the idea of a spiritual fight some depth.

I think the problem is a matte rof control. I know that I really enjoy food, and can't handle too much Olestra.. I'd rather be fat than lose bowel control.

Can you swim in the ocean?

I've never been to the ocean :o(

how about a lake or stream?

[peradouro.livejournal.com]

Yes I've been swimming both those places but they are difficult to get to where I live now. I haven't swum/swam (usage?) in a stream for probably 15 years or more. We used to swim occassionally at a lake but the past few years have been so dry the lake is reeeallllly mucky. Hence the dream for a private pool all fer me. With a shade so I don't have to worry about stupid sunburn either.

Yeah, I do that too. It's so much fun to scare yourself! I dunno, kinda like your own little spooky adventure when that happens. =)

Running a "controlled burn" on fear is a nice, natural high, I think.
