Disaster! I took a shower just now and then I was standing in front of the mirror combing my ridiculous hair, as I have to do for about 20 minutes after it gets any amount of moisture on it. I put my comb down for a second on top of the little shelf beside my sink (and above my toilet) and a second later it fell, right into the toilet. Something about that shelf makes things fall right into my toilet all the time. This weekend I lost a toothpaste cap that way. I had to take the comb out and then (even the toilet was obviously filled with clean water) rinse it under really hot water for about 5 minutes. Now here is the stupid part: not only did I consider boiling the comb to remove any potential cooties, but I actually thought very seriously for about 10 seconds "This is why I should start flushing the toilet twice everytime I use it from now on! That would make the water slightly more pure!". It didn't take too long for that thought to be replaced with "What? Andrew, you're a really dumb little jerk", but still, I did have that flush-twice thought. That is why I hope never to be involved in any sort of life-or-death situation that requires quick thinking and where it might be bad if I started to panic, because when I'm not thinking 100% straight I come up with ideas like "I should start flushing the toilet twice from now on in case I drop another comb in it". So if you ever go on any kind of jungle safari and you see me on it, get off! If we run into any sort of trouble, my poor thinking skills will lead to our certain doom.
It's snowing outside for real! When I noticed that this morning I was super happy. It's not like I ski or snowboard or any of that, but it's just awesome to have the snow around, and falling down in nice convenient flakes. I actually knew it was going to snow today but I forgot, which made this extra awesome. How did I know? Well I saw a little ad for the evening news the other day and the weather guy said this: "They should rename thursday SNOWDAY, I'll tell you why at 6". I saw that and had to think really hard for hours before I clued in! "Hmm, why would they call thursday snowday? hmmm, I have no clue, hmmmm, I don't get it". What I love most is that 'snowday' and 'thursday' don't even rhyme or anything, so it makes even less sense. Like maybe if thursday was actually named crowday it would be okay, if he had said "They should rename crowday to SNOWDAY...", but no, there is no good tie-in. Oh American weatherman, why do you have to try and mess with us and look very clever? Cuz ya ain't!
