Buried one of our dogs this morning. He was 13/14 and had cancer.
As badly as dad and I took it, I am not looking forward to my sister coming home tonight.

OK so I've got a death's head hawk moth in my room. I hit it with a rolled up shirt 7 times in the air, on the floor, on walls. It's still moving. Finally hit it enough that it's more or less grounded and stomped on it with my guitar case 3 times. Still twitching. So I left the guitar case standing on top of it. Kind of afraid to move it now. That fucking thing is tenacious and resilient, and now surely wants vengeance. Or maybe it's Mothra??

Please tell me the guitar was NOT in the case!!!
Please!!
Poor guitar....

[Gothos]

It was not. I am not a savage.


Now here's a new problem. The body is nowhere to be found.

Well, shit.

Its bidding its time, waiting for you to sleep. Then it will eat all you left socks.

I think I bombed my interview today. FML

[Satan]

That's what I thought on my current job. Maybe you did, but the other applicants did even worse. Don't fret until you hear from them. And if you didn't get the job you can still be proud you made it to the interview.

I finally managed to root my Nook without half bricking it, but I cant get the Google Market app to work. Without the app it is just a rooted e-reader. *sad panda*

I've had A tingling sensation in my arms the last days. Like the feeling you get after you're arm fall asleep and wakes up again. Can't say that I like it.

Arthropods. I'm going to wipe out entire phylums one day.

Tell me about it. We have a giant spider living under our fridge and I am not remotely joking when I say that it has jumped out at me on 3 seperate occasions. The last time it made me spray the whole kitchen and myself with the cream I was getting from the fridge. Admittedly it alway attacks when I have dropped something and obviously tripped a sliver of web but it leaps out without a care in the world. It is unconcerned by the giant humans who occupy the same space so it is clearly a confident hunter. The solution: move out!!

Call it names until it cries and runs away

Mosquitos and other assorted tiny creepers that are drawn to light and human skin.. No, you little shits, you are NOT going to make yourself comfortable in my room and dirturb the only time I can study in peace! Even if I have to keep my window closed in this heat.. In the meantime: DIE!

On the dowside.. I sleep in this room, so now I'll have to sleep in a room I just sprayed full of stuff that's bad for insects.. Oh, whatever, like that makes a difference *sigh*

People who think putting forks in microwaves is going to make the microwave blow up.

[Satan]

Not having done that, I imagine nothing more would happen than blowing a fuse?

Nothing at all happens.

[Silencer]

Well, nothing *usually* happens, though if you do it and your microwave fails it will have voided your warranty. That, and it is theoretically possible to damage/reduce the life of your microwave by putting metal in it (such as a fork) - I have seen exactly one (1) microwave catch on fire because of the fork-in-the-microwave thing...but that was because the fork was resting on a paper towel at the time. It's a bit like electronic/transmitting devices and aeroplanes, really; the safety warnings are there due to a mix of "just in case" and "because the public already thinks this".

I didn't say 'put something that reflects microwave radiation in a microwave next to a cell phone', I said putting metal in microwaves doesn't cause them to explode. In fact, it is suggested that if you are cooking something in your oven and need to cook something else that requires crust browning, using an all metal pan in your microwave is a way to do it.

It is never the metal that is the problem (except aluminum foil which has some weird properties), but it is the metal reflecting the microwave which then causes other stuff to heat faster than it otherwise would.

For instance, you can put a ceramic bowl of soup in a microwave, with a spoon in it, and heat it faster than if you just had the bowl and soup.
