So it turns out that trapped nerves are somewhat painful! After a vigorous afternoon painting my Nan's living room, I went to sleep and woke up with the most excruciating pain from my fingertips to my neck. Luckily the nerve freed itself with a pop twenty-four hours later, but in the meantime... fun with slings!

Grandmother: Can you give this to your mum?
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Encyclopedia of Rare Cocks and Chickens of the British Isles?
Grandmother: ...That's right.
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Ok...

At the supermarket - bath aisle
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Damn, I just remembered something I need, and then I got distracted by the lube and I've forgotten it again.
Mum: Lube?
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Yeah. Lube. You know. Lubricant?
Mum: *blank look*
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Like for sex? They sell it in a tube?
Mum: *long pause* ...No... (disbelievingly)
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: Yeah, it's on the shelf back there.
Mum: *turning back to the shampoo* I don't believe you.
[livejournal.com profile] zoetrope: *goes and gets assorted tubes*
Mum: *reads tubes* Huh. That one looks quite fun.

What the Art Director wants, the Art Director will get
Some of you may have already seen it, but in the vague chance that you might know someone young and/or impressionable, send them this link and point out that even models don't look like models.

I wouldn't rely on a guy called Anonymous Funkster
Classic one-liners overheard on the London Underground. [livejournal.com profile] rossywar pointed me in its direction a while ago, but for those who haven't seen it, go forth and laugh.

I'd like to see a Zelenka story that manages to work in every one of these. That's right. I'm that highbrow.

There was an entire website like that one (the one that shows the photo before it was touched up) and it was all famous people. I wish I could remember it now.

Wow, that would be great. My mum knows people who run groups for girls with eating/self-image issues and is going to show them that site, but another would be great. Maybe I'll google for it...

Thanks :)

OMG. I'd love it if you brought me New York *g*

Er... other than that? A cool Pez Dispenser would be very fun *g* (though I doubt they make Stargate ones ;))

And...yourself!

Hee. I found that site on my own a while back and used it when I was scribbling a few lines about Zelenka. *g* There should be more profane Czech muttering, I agree.

I'm sure that, beneath the mild-mannered distracted-scientist behavious lurks a man with the vocabulary to shock a sailor *g*

Hee... she's very open to new ideas, but also very innocent. It's purity of heart, I'm sure *g*
