(No, this is not a joke. Apparently iTunes’ party shuffle has a sense of humor)</p> <p>Today I walked to the bus stop after work, only to find a large sign that read: <i>Temporary Reroute. Please board #152 @ Addison/California.</i> Which is, unfortunately, about 1/2 mile from the stop where I was standing. So I thought “I’ll just go to the next one after the construction.” Two more stops down brought me to another sign. This one said <i>Temporary Reroute. Please board #152 at Addison/Elston</i>. “Okay,” I thought. “It won’t kill me to walk another quarter-mile or so. I had about a third of a box of chocolate.” So I walked.</p> <p>I was literally a block away from the Addison/Elston stop when I felt a ticklin’ in my nose. The toaster at work kind of exploded today, so my sinuses were congested (they freak out at any strong or artificial smell. Hence my tendency to use/buy natural cleaners or those without aroma). I kept sniffling because I didn’t have a tissue handy, but finally decided I was going to have to bite the bullet and wipe my nose on the back of my hand like a sick freak. It’s a good thing I did, too.</p> <p>Apparently at some point my nose decided to leak blood. Then, when it knew it had my attention, it decided to gush blood. With no other alternative in sight, I ran into White Castle and ran for their bathroom. After bleeding all over their sink and stealing handfuls of toilet paper, I felt guilty enough to buy some food. Only problem being that there’s not bloody much (HAHAHAHAHAHA) I can eat at White Castle. So there I was at the takeout counter with my head back, pinching my nose with my lunchbox around my wrist and ordering a sack of French fries, trying to find my wallet in my bag with my free hand.</p> <p>When I finally got on my bus, clutching a bag of fries in one hand and my bloody nose/tissues in the other (don’t even ask how I got out my bus pass), I called my ex-husband and asked him how long it’s supposed to take for a bloody nose to stop. He asked if I’d been messing with it, then said he’d call me back. Meanwhile, the old lady on the bus wearing flowered Bermuda shorts and two tank tops over a long-sleeved shirt moved two seats away from me in case I was contagious.</p> <p>It seems that life in Chicago means the return of my wacky adventures!</p>http://geekerella.tumblr.com/post/38681092http://geekerella.tumblr.com/post/38681092Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:47:53 -0500<img src="http://8.media.tumblr.com/9xPo2Z6Jna9exds5UJrMVWp9_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>What is it about kitten toes that just make a person involuntarily go AWWWW?</p> <p>(via <a href="http://kasmi-nuko.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">kasmi-nuko</a>)</p>http://geekerella.tumblr.com/post/38530499http://geekerella.tumblr.com/post/38530499Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:22:43 -0500<p><a href="http://fareastmeetswildwest.tumblr.com/post/38509590/tumbl-me-does-anyone-think-wiping-ones-ass-will" target="_blank">fareastmeetswildwest</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://tumblme.com/post/38498558/does-anyone-think-wiping-ones-ass-will-be" target="_blank">tumbl-me</a>:</p> <blockquote>Does anyone think wiping one’s ass will be eliminated by technology at some point in the future (a la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)#Future_devices" target="_blank">Demolition Man sea shells</a>) or is it a practice we will eternally have to endure?</blockquote> <p>Already done.
