A random thought...

[current mood | inquisitive ]


I wonder what it is with stretching your arms over your head while leaning back in an
office chair, that makes it feel so good? What is the biological cause and effect of
stretching that gives us the good feelings? I probably learned this back in school and it
is just one of those things that I have since forgotten. Oh well. Maybe google can help.

They have good taste sometimes...

Today's "quote of the day" at work included:

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." ~Oscar Wilde


It is interesting, how many things in the recent months have mentioned Oscar Wilde, as if they were some sort of a sign to me, that I went out and bought a book including (in order the book lists them): The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Windermere's Fan, Salome, An Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The Ballad of reading Gaol. I admit to only having read The Importance of Being Earnest in my senior year of high school, to which I also admit I did not pay all that much attention to. Well, I don't give myself enough credit. I did do well in school, and usually paid attention, but I was in an advanced English class, one where I actually had to work for my good grades instead of breezing by like the regular classes, and it was a bit of a challenge for me to keep up sometimes. And, despite my good English skills, my worst skill in English was always reading comprehension, which still plagues me, though I am actively working to overcome it. So anyhow, I am reading Oscar Wilde now, and hoping that I "get it" and am not missing something in the words. All I can do is try. Right? Perhaps a supplemental viewing of Wilde would help me now.

Hormones talking here...

God, I want massive amounts of junk food right now. Sickly sweet sugary confections and salty overprocessed crunchy bits. :P
