This is why I come here.

So SCD sends me a text this afternoon "So how did the fire thing go?"... right as the building is evacuated due to a fire alarm.

Actually, I have sort had that kind of feeling while awake... any of you ever suddenly feel like you're gigantic and that the ends of your limbs are miles away? I don't mean while stoned or anything, it can just happen while you're sitting around.

I always just figured it was some kind of brain quirk, like déja vu or similar. It's kind of a neat feeling... I try to savour it while it happens.

Used to have the opposite when i was very young and had a fever. I would hallucinate that i was becoming smaller and smaller, and the room felt as enormous as anything, as though i would never be able to reach the walls if i walked my whole life. A very amazing/terrifying sensation, like being in that "powers of ten" video in real life.

I get that all the time when I'm falling asleep or it's very dark.

I always get the feeling of rocking back and forth.
Of course, some of it is because of my heart being crazy, but I think a good chunk of it is mental.

When it's dark, I have the sensation of Spiraling.

Like that, only more disorienting.

I get that too. I think it's caused by blood pumping.

Today the snowflakes were falling slowly and softly, with just a few in the air.

But these were the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen, at least a quarter-inch. You could actually see all the little beautiful details without even really trying.

Very very cool.

So my downstairs neighbor has a plastic baggie taped to her door. Inside it? One half eaten piece of bacon.

Mongrel · « **Reply #90 on:** February 26, 2010, 06:50:38 PM »

Perhaps she needs to ward off Hassidic vampires?

As I recall from college movies, hanging a necktie on the door means you're having sex with someone. I'm not sure I want to decode bacon-in-a-baggie.

She's an elderly wheelchair bound woman... if that helps.

Isn't "bacon strip" a Strangers With Candy euphemism for the labia?

Miss Cat Ears · « **Reply #95 on:** February 26, 2010, 08:06:45 PM »

I won't lie; every time I am freshly waxed I can't help but think of her saying "my bacon strips are sizzlin'!"

Something new to add to the odd list of "seemingly totally ordinary things which can't be found in Toronto": Corn Bread (wtf?). Tried all large grocery stores and quite a few indie bakeries without success. Just odd. I haven't tried Whole Foods yet, but that's about it.

It got a bit weirder. Unable to find cornbread for love, money, or murder, I picked up a pizza bread-like loaf with some tasty jalapenos baked in it as a substitute. In addition to the onion, jalapeno, cheese, tomato, there was a half a chocolate cookies baked inside (from what I can tell someone didn't clean out the oven quite enough).

Büge · « **Reply #97 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:38:55 PM »

Mongrel... you do not buy cornbread. You make it.

Mongrel · « **Reply #98 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:41:43 PM »

Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't.

Also, yes, we're not the US, but cornbread is perfectly available in almost every single US grocery store I've been in - most of which were in Northern states.

I don't think corn bread is that weird or exotic an item that you can only get by making it yourself or traveling to foreign countries. If I lived in ~~St. Catharines~~ ass-nowhere, I would understand, but not in the heart of the largest, most cosmopolitan city in the country.

In the south, YOU DO NOT BUY CORN BREAD, YOU MAKE IT.
