I Need To Buy More Coffee

I need to buy more coffee. I’m almost out.

I don’t expect this to entertain you, but it will help me remember to buy some more.

You’re Going To Have To Be More Specific

The Humira ad is bugging me again. Specifically, the bit where they say:

Tell your doctor if you have been to areas where certain fungal infections are common

First off, they’re going to have to tell me which fungal infections. It’s only certain ones. Beyond that, I have very little knowledge of what fungal infections are common to what areas of the world. Thus, they might also need to tell me what areas of the world those are. Or, perhaps that could be in the stuff they provide that doctors look at before prescribing their medication.

I know this is probably a legal thing and it’s probably is supposed to get you to look up more information somewhere, but it really seems oddly worded and unhelpful. I mean, they really need to give a little bit more.

I’d worry about this even more if I had any need at all for Humira.

I’d Be Worried About That

There’s apparently a Mexican restaurant in Ireland called Boojum. I walked by it during our trip there last November. Personally, I’d worry about that.

What if it  softly and suddenly vanished away while you were inside getting something to eat? Seems like that’d be a problem.

The Bigger Question

The news is always making scientific breakthroughs seem more significant than they are. However important, the news always seems to get confused and mistake it for something way, way more important. As a result I tend to get preemptively disappointed by scientific headlines under the assumption that it’s going to pull way, way back from what the headline originally promises once I look into it more. Then I usually just scoff and move on. For example, this one:

Physicists reverse time using quantum computer

My immediate thought was that the bigger question was whether or not they had yet found a way to take back those words that hurt you.

Another Thing I Comment So Often I Need To Put Here So I Can Access It More Easily.

Here’s another thing I comment so often that I need to put it here so I can access it more easily:

Move along now. There’s really nothing for you here today.

Twizzlers Straws Are Way Less Exciting Than We Imagine

Yeah, I know I was excited as a kid when I realized I could use Twizzlers as a straw for soft drinks. It seemed like an extra sugary thing to do, and I was definitely all about that. However, it didn’t really do much different. The soft drink was pretty much the same and you pretty much just ate the Twizzlers after. There was no real combination going, no sudden extra sugar burst from soft drink and Twizzlers at the same time. It was just a fun idea without any real payoff.

Sorry, but it’s true.

Bomb Cyclone?

Bomb cyclone is a combined attack that Bomb Man and Air Man do when they team up against Mega Man.

You gotta get to the secret extra stages to see that one.

Your Moment Of My Spam Comment Zen

Your moment of my spam comment zen:

Then, there are people in which irritating as they

simply represent truthfulness. Just as applies to old coins as

well coins in you collection. Planning the money first can be a misdirection of focus.

Ommmmmmmmmm….

Happy 311 Day

Happy 311 day. I don’t celebrate it. I don’t listen to them, don’t think I even know one of their songs, but someone must.

To that person, have a happy day.
