Health Insurance

Finally applied for some online, via eHealthInsurance, before my awesome Sunday migraine hit.

I clicked on the 'Emergency Room' link to find out more, and here's what I read:



Um... wha? Could you repeat any more of the same words in the first few sentences? This reads like a fucking tax document... Why don't they just say: 'Emergency room visits include severe trauma/pain that require you to need more than Urgent Care.' Done. Cripes.

Reusable Produce Bags

Look what I just ordered! :D





$10 for 5 bags via Amazon, and I won't have to waste those horrible, earth-raping plastic bags provided by the grocery store anymore. Woot! This might make me buy veggies more often, too... I think. :)

Personal Touch

I recently purchased more crack from eBay, and I received my package today with a little extra gift inside!



This small, hand-written note attached to some mints completely brightened my day. :D What a nice, personal gesture that she didn't have to do at all!

Waste

Way to go, Cub, for forcing me to throw away a plastic bag, that I received in my mailbox, without a choice... yup... thanks. >:(

Dr. Bishop

No matter how crappy my mood is, Dr. Bishop from Fringe always makes me smile/laugh. :)

I think he's probably one of my all-time favorite TV characters. His innocence and eagerness to help in any situation evokes a gentle, childlike sympathy. His convictions and constant desire for wisdom beyond scientific gain, inspires me!

So kudos to John Noble for portraying such a delightful persona! It's fun to see him go from angry Denethor in LotR, to excitable Walter. :D



I was gonna put a bunch of great Walter quotes here, but out of context, they're not that funny and there's usually a prior conversation involved or another character. But I do have to post this one... one of my favorite moments of Fringe, when Bishop and Bell (played by the enigmatic Leonard Nimoy) have just seen each other after 30 years apart:

Dr. Bishop— [angrily] Hello, William.
William Bell— [unemotional] Walter.
Dr. Bishop— I see you've aged.
William Bell— It appears I'm not the only one!

Okay this one is pretty decent, too:

Dr. Bishop: [on the phone] Hello Peter, this is me, your father, Walter Bishop.
Peter Bishop: [annoyed] Thank you, Walter. I know who you are.
Dr. Bishop: Excellent!

One more, without someone else... :)

Dr. Bishop: To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. [places the papaya in the container and steps back to avoid an inevitable explosion]
Dr. Bishop: [happily] This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.

Things I Saw Today

• A little girls' tricycle on the shoulder of a freeway ramp, undamaged, on its side. Not very interesting but a bit disturbing for some reason...

• Dexter eating a strawberries! Aww puppeh!



• An older woman, mowing her lawn, with a leopard coat and hat on (in 65° weather).
This was just too weird so I had to find images to show you what she looked like:



Again, weird!!!

Kiss my ass, Spammers!

The e-mail address I've had for about a decade (the 'professional' one I created once I left high-school), has been hacked... whatever you take that to mean.

My friends/family received some lovely 'omg you have to see this! [evil link]' e-mails, with their first names in the Subject line. Haha, stupid Spammers, jokes on you... I would never call my dad 'Mark' (he is 'Pa!'), nor would I put that in the subject line of an e-mail... idiots.



Soak in all the horrible, mind-stabbing FAILS! I would never compose an e-mail of such grammar atrocity! Luckily my peeps know this... and who knows where that double-http link goes. :/ Some sort of scary, itchy, black-hole of the internet...

I also love the spam I get from 'Blizzard':



So long-story-short, I changed one letter in my e-mail address and started fresh. It's like losing your wallet or moving, and having to update piles of forms in your life, but digital. :P

Here's a nice, proper e-mail from the real Blizzard people. :)
