i had a spare bus pass today, and this lady got her coin eaten by the ticket machine and the driver won't let her on, so i gave her that spare bus pass that i happened to have and she got on the bus and everyone were happy. and it was a sunny day, too.

The PSU library has a more interesting selection of DVDs and videos than any store in town. Plus it's free.

I got a snazzy black leather jacket and for some reason some spectacularly beautiful blonde paid for my parking meter yesterday before I could.

skottie solved a lifelong nag of mine:

occasionally I cough up small (4mm) off-white balls that look like tiny brains and smell like poop. They're the consistency of extremely-thin-piped fondant; they crumble easily.

This is decaying food/skin/mucous type material that has collected in your tonsils. "Cryptic" tonsils have cavities that collect this kind of thing. They smell bad because they're rotting. occasionally I cough up small (4mm) off-white balls that look like tiny brains and smell like poop.

and now I can eat wax lips again (the cause to which I attributed the condition).

I wish a snazzy beautiful blonde would 'pay for' my 'parking meter.'

I got to go on an unexpected road trip today. Three hours in a redneck 93 Dodge pickup on the most beautiful of spring days with blossoms everywhere - while getting paid and listening to Bach.

I'll take that.

My daughter calls the top bunk the "tump bunk".

These huge poppies bloom in our back garden for about 3 days a year.

I just remembered there's ice cream in the freezer.

i learnt from my flatmates recently that when someone in the flat shouts "BEER", you're supposed to shout "YEPP" in a comedy fashion, and then you'll get beer handed to you.

I like the fact that progress marches on sometimes in the form of lengthy technical documentation written by German engineers about what would be a totally amusing and trivial subject to the vast majority of us:

The intent of this Protection Profile is to specify functional and assurance requirements for Waste Bin Identification Systems (WBIS) which are the target of evaluation (TOE). The Protection Profile defines the security requirements of WBIS for the transfer and storage of records of clearance data. The TOE may implement additional functions and security requirements, but these additional functions and security requirements are not subject to this Protection Profile.
WBIS in the sense of this document are systems, which allow to identify waste bins by an ID-tag (e.g. an electronic chip which is referred to as transponder) in order to determine how often a specific waste bin has been cleared. Note that this type of systems does not identify the waste directly but the waste bin, which contains the waste for disposal.
The purpose of this type of systems is to count, how often the waste bins have been cleared in order to allow an originator-related billing of waste fees. Frequently, such systems are combined with e.g. a weighing or volume measurement system in order to allow billing according to the frequency of clearance and the weight or volume of the waste disposed of. Other procedures can be thought of and can be integrated into this type of systems in the future.
