OK, this is worse than the cockroaches in the microwave.

I am wrapping Christmas presents and listening to archived Jean Shepherd shows (including some hilarious 1970s commercials, like the one claiming you haven't lived until you've worn a double-knit polyester suit), and he tells this story about a woman in England who goes to the dentist to have a tooth pulled, and the dentist yanks the bad tooth, and...

out of the socket...

crawls...

an enormous centipede!

He follows this up with a story about a guy who visits Northern India and discovers months later that he is harboring a 38-foot tapeworm...

I so do not need to hear this right now, in the middle of deworming...

I can't think there would be any good time to hear it.

Yuk.

Those things are NASTY!

On an unrelated note, have you heard anything from [info]majorweather lately? She hasn't been on LJ for weeks. I sent her an e-mail about a week or so ago and never got a reply. I hope she's okay.

I think my icon says it all. :\ *ick!* Reminds me of a horror story (from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark) I read as a kid about a girl who hatched spiders on her face...

About this journal

What do I write about here? Right now, the beauty inherent in the ordinary details of my life. Swallows nesting in our porch overhang. Soft, furry, affectionate little cats. My quirky, thoughtful, intelligent, capable, sexy-in-that-geeky-but-rugged-way husband. My work, although I don't write about that online much at all. Sweetness and light.
