27 April 2007

Two random thoughts. [More:]My left eye has some kind of sty on the lower lid and its making my eye droop. I was plagued with sties and chalazions growing up and had outpatient procedures to remove them (involving needles in the eye) which had the side effect of making my eyes so droopy that I look drunk even when I'm sober. Maybe I should just get an eyepatch and run around saying 'yarrr!' all day.

Also, I'm watching TV. A Gunsmoke rerun is on TVLand and that's cool, but I kind of miss the days of local syndicated channels. Some of these channels would buy just about anything, wild old low-budget mosnter movies, old shows from the 50's, I once even caught a rerun of 'Life Of Riley' from 1949 when I was home sick as a kid. That got me to thinking about the long-forgotten Dumont Network, one of the four original TV networks and the only one that failed. I wonder where all those shows went. Somebody should buy the rights and reun them or put out a DVD or something.
jon, I forget...is Get Smart on TVLand (or Nick at Nite)? I got to say "Sorry, Chief" to a friend who's a retired Chief, and it got me thinking about that show.

It is, sometimes, but not lately, which is a damned shame, because that was one of the funniest shows ever.

You just taught me a new word: chalazion. Thanks!

Me, I'm pro-eyepatch. Yarrrrrrrrrr!

I had some horrible mutant thing growing over my eyeball when I was twelve and I had in-office surgery while I was awake to have it removed, subsequently whenever a doctor got near my eye after that I really wanted to hit them. My parents took me to see Aliens after the surgery, as a reward for allowing them to remove the disgusting parasite growth from my eye. Aliens with no depth perception was pretty awesome. We're dogfood man.

Put a warm teabag on it, jon. (I'm sty-fightin' right now myself. Although it may be an ingrown eyelash. I have no idea. I'm just falling the f apart, man.)

They always seem to go away on their own, jrossi, but each one that comes and goes makes me look more and more like a pockmarked stewbum.

Also, Bonanza is on now. I just watched Little Joe chug a beer in a saloon. For some reason I found that odd.

Hank was a favorite of mine. Someone over there found this for me.

You don't wanna hear this but you get them from poor nutrition and too much alcohol (because the alcohol robs your body of certain vitamins which you probably don't ingest anyway.)

Go buy some vitamins, or eat a vegetable or something.

(Be glad I don't live near you. I'd be inundating you with produce.)

Eh, have some Jameson. If you're going to look drunk you might as well be on your way.

Alright, so you're in a constant state of 'on the way'. Whatver. :)
