Let the bodies hit the floor
Today David Schimmer is officially OLD. He is 40 now. Anyone with a Friends crush on him must now go cold turkey. I however am the exception to the rule, and when I turn 40 you all can keep your crushes on me.
Tonya Harding is 36 today. You can still have weird masochist crushes on her for a few more years. Oh yes, shattered knee caps, oh baby!
My immediate family from Spokane visited me this weekend. We went to the Bodies Exhibition (family bonding). Everything looked like bacon and I wanted to lick several displays despite the fact that I do not eat bacon. Must be my inner cannibal child. There were a lot of penises on the bodies and they all seemed to be made of congealed Crisco. Most of the body parts didn't seem real, perhaps because my mind has been scuplted to think of body parts as the way movies display them. Most of the bodies seemed small which I conclude must be because the Chinese are typically not as large as those of us whom are caucasian. If you go, don't bother with the audio gizmo for an extra 6 bucks. It is not worth it. Also, do NOT go on a weekend afternoon. We got in before the horde but it was still crowded. When we exited, there was a line outside wrapping around the block. I spent a good 3 hours in there and could have spent another 3 had my family not been done and ready to go after an hour and a half. I wasn't grossed out, but it did affect my dreams last nite. There were fetuses with abnormalities at the exhibit and I dreamt I had a fetus/newborn with the "organs outside your body" defect. As dreams tend to be vague, I'm not sure whether I gave birth to it or how I had it. The rest is just vague and weird.
I am currently embarking on a personal challenge/query. Not as awesome as climbing Rainier, which is on my list, but still not easy. I am trying to get through the entire winter without turning on my heat in the apartment. It has not been on since last april-ish. This past week has been getting a bit chilly and it requires a blanket some mornings as I type at the computer. I'm doing this to see how independent I can be. Not sure how bad it will be in, say, february and the dificulty of not freezing guests could ruin it. Not that I really have guests over at my monastic hermit cave. I think I need a thermometer to see what my cold-living threshold is.
Next 4th of July my independent test/statement will be to not expend any money so that I can be independent from corporations. That would be a true expression of freedom when you do not NEED the corporations that hold you firmly the rest of the year.
