Anybody else have this happen? My nostrils are itchy. Yes, my nose hairs grow faster now that I'm middle aged, but I trim them with a Remington tool, and yet, the itch CONTINUES. The only recourse is scratching those itches but I swear to you, cubicle neighbors, I'm not picking my nose!

I didn't know this and as a diabetic, this is fantastic... Even if I'm learning this 100+ years after the fact.

Thirteen years ago, I was a YMCA counselor, and I brought in some finger puppets. This is what my campers created. I was merely the camera man. Check it out.

Thanks to my wife, we are homeowners. I am no handyman, but today I'm scraping, sanding and repainting our front porch. I get a bit of a subtle, personal thrill out of doing these things because in their way, they are small acts of the destruction/creation cycle that we participate in.

"You know... sometimes to have to go very far out of your way to come back a short distance correctly." Anybody? This is part of a monologue I delivered on stage, yikes, 27 years ago. Do you know the play?

Doing paperwork/training modules to become a substitute teacher again, because I'm at my wit's end after 8 months of being out of work. I hate teaching, but I hate doing several hours of training on child abuse and suicide prevention. Not because it's not necessary, but because it IS.

Some schmoe on IG was trying to dunk on an old clip of Henry Rollins on saying Miles Davis never had a platinum record, by saying Kind of Blue is 5x platinum. I schooled him that that record wasn't even 1x platinum until 1997,4 years AFTER that clip. He blocked me. Why do I feel so powerful now?

For doing what, exactly? The Kennedy Center honors people who spend their lives creating art, music, etc., to expand and enrich the lives of people as a whole. WTF have YOU done, asshole? That line in Home Alone 2 sound have been left on the cutting room floor.

This summer: I got laid off, I gained back all the weight I lost, and I hurt all over. Some jackamope hit my car last night and took off. I fell out of bed a few nights ago, and the bruises are showing up, and my knee hurts like hell. I should just go to bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I know I'm late to the party on this, but I'm watching Marcella on Netflix, and I haven't seen a police procedural this good since Luther, with Idris Elba! But then again, I'm ALSO watching Dark Winds with Zahn McLernon, which is just as good! TV numbs the nerve damage of living through now.
