Brains!

Ear Lavages, VGA (VideoGamers Anonymous), Swinger Dates and other such nonsense.

Well I know that posting updates on ones life is a cheap cop-out, but I'm going to do it anyways because hopefully it will jump start my writing car, which has broken down recently.

Topic 1. Ear Lavages
What the hell is that you might ask? Well its what doctors do when you your ear wax, oh excuse me cerumen misbehaves. Unlike normal ear wax, which is supposed to trap particles, dry up and fall out of the ear, my cerumen likes to get stuck in there (either because I sleep on one side too much, or I have a bent ear canal). It waits around till I clumsily get water stuck in there, then swells up so that I can't ear much of anything, creating pressure and headaches. Anyways the result is going to the Urgent Care Clinic for an ear lavage. First they squirt some good old hydrogen-peroxide in there, which sounds like someone pouring a can of coca-cola in the canal, then you wait around for it to fizz away. Then they come back and using a squirt syringe that has a long tube at the end, they force the blockage out. This part sounds like a washing machine in your head. If its loose enough it will come out and plop into the little tuperware you hold under your head. It tickles like no other, can create a strange dizzy feeling. Either way, now I'm a pro at holding the tupperware to prevent spillage.

Topic 2. VGA (Videogamers Anonymous)
Jordan quit WoW, sold his account for $1000 to some Canadian. Luckily my account renewal was up around the same time, so we're both no longer playing. That's the thing about Jord, he'll randomly up and do a 180 all in two weeks. "Hey, I put my my account up for sale last night, someone's buying it," was literally how it happened, in one day. Then he gets a job, starts a new obsession with beer brewing and thats it, no more depressing slump. I guess I knew it would happen that way, and there was nothing I could or his parents could say to get him to do it. Either way he's going through with withdrawals of course, still checking WoW related websites, and forums. He claims he's doing it less and less though. Happy B-day today to him by the way. As for me, well everytime one quits it does get easier. Totally words of an addict, but really I only had issues until I filled my time up with other crap, like actually putting hours in for work, reading What Am I Doing Here? by Bruce Chatwin and what not.

Topic 3. Swinger Dates
I'm not one for talking about my "sex" life. Okay wait thats a lie, I do freely, if the opportunity presents its self. I guess I mean I've never posted about it? Either way all I want to say, is the most surpising people participate in the "swinger life-style" don't even under estimate what a person does in their personal lives! There are more then you think.

Topic 4. The quandries of Red Hair Dye.
After not dying my hair for months, I did. How is it I have no self restraint in that department. I could get brain cancer from this stuff! Plus dying ones hair red can appear to be a cry for attention, I've passed that judgement even. And here I am with red hair again. Now my already split ends are like WTF, and the healthy few inches of dark dark brown hair is pretty much in shock.

Topic 5. Resumes Can Walk Off a Cliff.
I'm working on my resume. I need another part time job, because frankly paying $80 for an ear lavage due to lack of health insurance, waiting around for my boss to call and give me hours, add not saving is getting ridiculous. Especially now that Jordan's gotten his life together, the pressure is on. Should be great fun this job hunting in the worst economy ever...but alas it all starts with the resume, which I hate. I don't know how to brag and how to not sound redundant while I'm doing it!
