contagion corn dehydration madness. plus: snow pants.

I will not and cannot officially draw a parallel between anyone I know and the hungover Ann Perkins from Parks and Recreation:

hungover ann perkins

She woke up in snow pants! This episode features some silly drunkenness and then some aftermath hangover hilarity. I happened to watch this particular episode very recently, which was appropriate for no reason (that I can say). I do not endorse overalcoholizing.

In other news, I took a picture of this corn last night.

oh god gross

It goes down in history as the worst corn I’ve ever tasted and one of the top ten worst things I’ve ever eaten. I almost wish I could feed it to you to prove that I am not exaggerating (then I’d give you some kind of memory-erasing drug so that you don’t have to remember the evil that I remember). The brave two who tried it likened it to a “corpse,” to “when you have a dream when your teeth fall out, except here the teeth are the corn,” and … ooo, blug, maybe I need to stop there. You get the picture.

In other other news, I saw Contagion with my honeyman over the weekend. It was okay, although I’m always puzzled by Soderburgh’s lack of emotion towards his characters. Also, I wanted more ramped up, post-apocalyptic, oh, remember the world the way it was? bittersweetness. And honestly? I wanted more bodies. But it did make me thing about, well, contagion. I don’t know if I’ve lessened the number of times I touch my face daily, but I did something I would not have previously. I did not touch these peppers.

i did NOT touch these, though i wanted to.

They’re made of something nice and shiny, they’re not real, and they are intriguing-looking. They’re in a friendly clear urn right at Becky level. I darted my hand towards them and actually pulled back, thinking “ew! contagion!”

So there’s that. Draw your own tidy conclusion to this mess of a post while I nap.
