Nosebleeds and Ubuists

September 7th, 2004

Sorry to bring up such a horrible topic, but I hate nosebleeds. From an early age, it was clear I was one of the lucky few who were prone to constantly get them, but about 2 years ago I thought I was finally free. Last night however, I was sitting in my office at about 10 PM, getting ready for bed, when the sudden feeling of a running faucet began somewhere in my upper nasal area. I rushed to the bathroom, and I must say that this was the worst one I ever had, it was just pouring out of there for like 45 minutes.

ugh, I apologize for the rather disgusting paragraph, but I really do hate nosebleeds. In other happenings, my school’s one-act play (just a short play they do during the first semester posted the cast list today. I must say that I did horrible on my audition, but I got the part of one of the Computer Pirates. The play is called “Where’s Ubu”, and I still don’t know what’s it about really, but we should be getting scripts tomorrow. This was both the first big audition that I had gone through, as well as the first cold reading I’ve ever done, so hopefully by the time for the audition for the real school play, I’ll be a bit better. Not everyone made it though, which sucks. It’s a lot different than our old school plays where everyone got a part (I seriously don’t think I would have gotten the part if I hadn’t been in another theater class with the teacher).

Today is Google’s 6th Birthday! Yay! Of course this is going to be the link of the day. So, if you read this today, I want you to go to Google.com and search for something, just because you can. Come on, celebrate the power of searching though billions of pages, and knowing exactly how long it took Google to process you request!

It is now my solemn duty to offer you this fair warning. You see, when a bee stings you, it releases one microgram (or nanogram, I’m not sure which, but lets just say a very small amount) of the chemical that give bananas it’s scent. The real kicker here is that this chemical is a sign, so if another bee smells it, it means come join in the attack! Now, is it me, or does this say something about eating bananas outside?
