Desultory Data

Apparently everything in my home that uses electricity held a meeting while I was at work yesterday and determined it is now time to start shocking me at every opportunity. The refrigerator door handle, the screws on the light switch plates, the fireplace, the front of the DVD player and of course the laptop. The fireplace shocked me so hard yesterday I thought it had blown my fingernail off and my whole finger throbbed for a couple of minutes. Ridiculous. I am now touching everything metal in my house first with either my thigh or my elbow (depending on its height) before grabbing it. I wonder if anyone makes static cling sheets for your house, like the size of a queen-sized bedspread.

We’ve been watching a lot of television this week and I’ve caught the commercial/trailer for a new upcoming horror film called The Undead several times. From what I gathered through the 30-second spot, a woman is being terrorized by her evil twin who died in the womb and wants to be born. In one part of the commercial the woman is talking to a doctor who tells her (quote), “One iris is a different color than the other, which happens occasionally when you are dealing with twins.”

Mom? Anything you’ve been meaning to tell me?

Speaking of silly and bizarre, here’s your comedy link for the morning. Garfield Minus Garfield is a comic site that removes Garfield from Garfield comic strips “in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.” So, there ya go. If you find it unbelievably funny, the book is available on Amazon.

  • Ah, the winter times when static electricity zaps you everywhere. Main reason: dry air. I get zapped a lot too so I start sticking out a key in front of me so the zap does not travel via the sensitive part of my fingertips.
