and, speaking of the criminally insane

[rone]

That brigand hannibaltaburss tagged me for that damn "six weird/strange habits about yourself" meme, then compounded his insult by challenging my manhood.  FIE ON YOU, SIRRAH.

1. I used to chew my nails.  Now i compulsively trim my nails so i don't chew on them.  It mostly works.
   
   
2. I compulsively trim my facial hair (see a trend?).  When i see a man with a moustache that curls over his lip, i have to restrain myself from whipping out my Victorinox and trimming it.
   
   
3. When i get into bed, i twist my lower body to my left to pop my lower back.
   
   
4. I crack my hand joints in a particular order: first i wiggle the finger to pop the lower interphalangeal joint, right pinky to thumb, left thumb to pinky.  Then i take off my wedding ring, lace my fingers, and squeeze tight.  Then i open my hands and flex my fingers.  Then i put my right fist in my left palm and crack the knuckles, then vice versa.  Then i crack my wrists, right, left.  Then i tighten both hands into a leopard fist.  Then, i twist my right hand outward, then inward; then the left.  Then i stretch my left hand upwards, then downwards; then the right.  After all that, i put my ring back on.
   
   
5. I will obsess over reorganizing our wine rack.  The Rhône varietals go together, see, and we have a zin-mourvèdre blend, so that and the other zins go in the next column, and that includes the primitivo, and since that's Italian, the sangiovese goes next to that, and, god, i have about a column and a half of cabernet sauvignon, what am i going to put in the other half?  Other Bourdeaux grapes, i suppose, but what am i to do with this merlot-carignan blend?  At least the whites have their own smaller, separate rack...
   
   Hmm, i'm stuck.  I'll have to ask Kim for help.
   
   
6. "Picking your butt zits."  Ugh.  It's true.
    

And there you have it.  Now get offa my lawn!

Hm. I have this thing where whiteish wines go on the left half and more reddish on the right. Amusingly enough, until I swapped the previous wine racks for teh current ones, they were teh other way around (the old wine rack is now installed in a cupboard in the kitchen, for storage of elderberry "wine" and mead).

That's the way i did it, too, until i ran out of space in the big rack. I also have a separate small rack for the dessert wine, and i'm out of space on THAT one and i'm just piling the spillover on top of the top row.

We obviously need to drink more wine.

Hm. I do sort the whiskies into a "Scottish single malt cabinet" and an "other whiskies" cabinet (with the port and rum, curiously).

Saying that, I only split the whiskies because they don't all fit in the display cabinet.

Nice picture for #4, adds clarity.


Thank you for no picture for #6, no clarity needed.

Maximum number of pops

[thingamarob.livejournal.com]

Given a hand perfectly primed for popping, what's the most pops you can get out of your hands? I can go 46, five per finger and three per thumb. Top that! Also, do you have any recommendations for getting an unwilling participant to let you pop her toes? She insists it hurts, but I know that if she would only let me do it consistently, she would come around.

I'm growing a beard so I must stay away from you!

butt zits

Even since I got this stupid cushion, I get sebaceous cysts on my butt a lot more often. Draining them is not easy.
