Nothing much. You?

Today in the mail I got Pulp Fiction and Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn on Blu-ray.
Today was a good day. :-D

This is going to sound insanely stupid:
I just realized who my first crush ever was and obviously the moment I realized I would forever be in love with light skinned women with short blonde hair.
It was around 14-15 when I realized my sexuality (to a smaller extent) when the TV show I beloved so much "Sailor Moon" introduced Ten'ou Haruka. I swooned, I remember so clearly now. Completely and utterly in love. My hormones were all over the place then. I had never kissed anyone before, much less done much else with a girl or guy. I just knew I was in "love". Neither one of my overly religious parents had had "the talk" with me so pretty much what I had learned sexually were from my brother's magazines, my sisters conversations about boyfriends etc. I just knew what I knew. I had never felt that way before. She was so strong, confident, gorgeous and she was very openly gay, which was a concept I wasn't fully familiar with at the time, but was learning very quickly.
It would be a very short few months later before my first real connection with another girl but it's just insane how I had completely forgotten about Ten'ou. To this day, my physical preferences of a companion are tall, light skinned, toned and short blonde hair. I had never made the connection until literally 10 minutes ago when I stumbed across a picture of her again. I'm just blown away by this revelation.

One of the art professors here owns a llama farm, and this weekend a bear attacked one of her llamas. Hilarity ensues.

I covered for the front desk person while they went to lunch today. Several people came in during that time period to pick up concert tickets they won. Each time after they got them, I said something to the effect of "have a good time" or "have fun" or something similar.
Every single one of them said "you too!"
Now I know how movie ticket salespeople feel (all the "enjoy your movie!" "you too!" stuff). It was just novel to witness the parade of social awkwardness.

Worse, I've called my father "dear." Though it made the little woman laugh.

Man Orders Size 14.50 "Monster Slippers", Manufacturer Makes & Sends Size 1,450
from Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
Tom Boddingham ordered a pair of custom novelty slippers off website Monster Slippers. Tom, who's 6'7" and possibly the son of a Yeti, ordered a size 14.50 for his left foot and 13 for his right because DAMN BRO YOUR FEET ARE A SIZE-AND-A-HALF APART?! Mine are only 1/2, freak!
When the 27-year-old ordered a special monster-design slipper to fit his oversized left foot, he was sent this size 1,450 one - because manufacturers failed to spot a decimal point. He had requested a 14.5, as well as a smaller size 13 for his right foot. The pair cost £15.50. However, manufacturers in China misread the measurement and accidentally made the whopping seven foot-long slipper, which was shipped to him along with the correct smaller size. Apparently workers in the slipper factory assumed his giant order was for a shop window display.
Cheap PR stunt aside (now verified), that might be the nicest novelty monster foot sleeping bag I've ever seen.. Is there room for two in there? *crawling in* Play with my hair till I fall asleep? I only wanted a size 14½! Missed decimal point sees slipper ordered from China returned as size 1,450... big enough for owner to sleep in[dailymail] Thanks to Jade, who knows the feeling because one time she ordered a turkey sandwich and didn't find out till she got home they accidentally made a meatball sub. OMG -- I'd go back there and spill a Coke if I were you.

You know what I love about the internet? You can find anything. I remember USA network used to have this saturday night horror movie marathon every saturday in the 80s. There was this one movie that creeped me out when I was a kid about these kids with black fingernails that would burn you to death by hugging you. I couldn't remember the movie for decades, I just remembered black fingernails and the burning. I remembered it being particularly creepy because a hug from a kid is supposed to be sweet, so it was a powerful inversion. I just searched for it because it came to mind for some reason, and I found it on the first hit:

Apparently it was made by Troma! Now I have to watch it again. I'm sure I'll be disappointed. Man, my parents let me watch a lot of barely appropriate movies when I was a kid.

Apparently someone found the General Forum here with the phrase "Masturbating 42 times a day".
I don't know what's more confusing - that somebody looks for that; that somebody's mentioned it; or that someone can actually do that.
I mean, my personal best was like, eleven or twelve...
