random thoughts and observations
Aug. 26th, 2021 02:21 pm8*. You know how your brain is unable to function when you're having your period? It's sometimes before, sometimes during, sometimes after. You know? Just know I literally felt my brain stopping to work. It was OK in the morning, I got up, started editing the diss, was quite pleased with myself. Then, at some point, I started to panic. This does happen when I stop concentrating on the thing I'm doing right now and start thinking about all the things I still have to do. Then I decided to do "one of those other things I still have to do". Did. Returned to the chapter and literally felt how the wheels (you know, the ones that are "in motion") started turning slower and slower, until I looked at the paragraph I just did and had no idea what it was about. So this is why I'm writing this instead.
3. I was rewatching a Seinfeld episode the other day, and Jerry was talking about his laundry, about how there's this shirt he calls Golden Boy, which is always the first shirt out of fresh laundry that he wears. And I remembered other American TV shows, where "laundry day" is mentioned, and where it always sounds like when you do your laundry, you wash literally all the clothes you have, which is why you wear something extremely awkward when you do laundry. Cos, all your stuff is in the laundry. Obviously. But, you know, I don't think I know anyone who does laundry like that. We do laundry when enough stuff is dirty to fill a machine. And we always have other clean stuff in the closet. Don't you? I mean, is the phenomenon described above just a TV phenomenon, or do people in America actually wash their clothes when literally all of them are dirty?
12. If number 3 sounds weird to you, read number 8.
7. I once was in an Indian train with a guy from Austria... no, with a shepherd from Austria, and there was a group of three or four young women from the US, who were travelling in the same compartment. We started talking and one of them got very interested in Austrian shepherding, so she asked excitedly: "What do Austrian cows say?!" "Aehm..." he said, "moooooh".
This is meant to illustrate how the world tends to be more uniform than we might think.
11. This one I forgot, and yet, it was the first one that I wanted to share. Sigh.
*giving them non-random numbers would have made them... well, not random, so...
