You know how the underside of Snapple bottle lids often have trivia printed on them? I know I've gotten "Dragonflies have six legs but cannot walk" like eight times. Anyway. SCW decided to make it worth my while to have been forced to come in yesterday by educating me with some of her Snapple Facts.
So yesterday, I learned:

Pigs have penises that are curly like their tails.
Regular consumption of vanilla ice cream improves the taste of one's semen.

I think there was more but I don't remember. She didn't really get those off the bottom of Snapple lids-- rather, she was all to happy to tell me where she did get them, but I imagine you all get the idea.
(Apparently one of the airline employees is into animal porn, and he shares. I believe it.)

So anyway. Two consecutive days well above freezing. If it remains warm, perhaps I'll be able to clean out the compost heap and set it up in its new summer location which I have not yet decided upon. We'll see.
I doubt I'll have time. The house is a shambles, I have five family members coming to stay and don't know where I'm putting them all, and did I mention the house is a shambles? Yeah.

Doing laundry now-- I managed to fill the washing machine almost entirely with socks. What does that say? I hope it says that I wear a lot of socks, but what it really says is that I don't do laundry often enough.

Oh-- speaking of socks-- I'm on Sock-Dreams! I am the product example photo for the royal blue color of the spandex fishnets. Yes, that is my thigh and calf and some of my undies (photo turned sideways, if you're puzzled by how that would work), yes, that is the permabruise I have from poorly-landed baseball slides. Those tights, my friends, are the ideal roller derby fishnets, because they are spandex and do not snag. I bought the footless fishnets she says are good for roller derby, and I burst three stitches just putting the damn things on-- they are not stretchy, they are not sturdy, and the individual strands are so thin and hard they'll cut your skin. Do not under any circumstances attempt to skate in those things. Buy the spandex fishnets. Despite being the same "one size", they'll actually be big enough, and they also stretch like a dream, and the individual strands are thick and snag-proof, and feel soft on your skin, and don't give you that flesh-pressed-through-thread icky look like too-tight not-stretchy fishnet gives you.
And they get stuck to Velcro and peel off without damage, so, bonus.

I've burst about three stitches on them in about six or seven practices, and they're still structurally integral. I wore them for the Mardi Gras parade, too.

Anyhow. I had a bunch of other stuff I was going to write about, but I haven't written about it, and time is a-wasting and I have to get ready to catch the bus to get to work. Pleh.

Oh-- one thing I do ought to blog-- I lost my cellphone on Friday. I know I had it because I called Z from the bus to tell him when I'd be home. I did not have it the next morning. We called it and wandered all over the house listening for it, and it was not anywhere. (It doesn't have a silent setting, so that couldn't have been it.) I called the NFTA to ask their lost and found if they had it, and that took me two days to get through. I finally confirmed yesterday that they do not have it.

So I have no cellphone. Don't try to call me. I tried, forlornly, to call it again, and it went straight to voicemail, so the battery's dead and the phone will never be found now. Too bad. It was a shitty phone, but it had a lot of information stored in it that I really need and don't know how I'll replace.

Humorously ironic, as I had just that day been saying to Z that I'd done so well at not losing cellphones that I was considering buying myself a real one that could, you know, do something besides store numbers and ring once in a while.
