I haven't had a single mildly interesting day in months now, closing in on a year. I'm not sad about this, I'm actually rather content. I have become fond of the hum-drum drudgery of each day every day. Some might call this a rut, but I find the stability and certainty of what's to come calming. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to do something crazy and absurd, but then remember how anxious I could be when I did anything similar to that.
When was the last time you had a mildly interesting day?

Most of my days are excessively interesting, which is why I come to /eh/.

However, instead of doing anything special for Christmas last year, I took a week long holiday to a summer vacation spot.
My hotel room was very reasonably priced ($200 for the whole week) because it was off season. Weren't many people around. There was one bar still open, which catered mostly to locals, and I had some nicely eh evenings there, drinking light beer and smoking while people I didn't know talked about things I didn't care about.

It was nice.

I'm glad, John, that you've been getting the rain. Where I live, the annual rainfall is 4 inches a year, and we often get the entire year's rainfall in one bout. It must be nice to live somewhere green.

Well, it snowed maybe ten inches today, still coming down. I bought a little plant about a week ago, and I've been waiting for the weather to lighten up to let it get some sunshine. I half expect it to wilt and die soon, just like all those goldfish I owned as a kid.

Today I was walking back from the lab, the weather was beautiful, foggy but not too cold.

Unfortunately I was in a anxious rage and couldn't enjoy it.

Ha, it's a pitfall waiting to be stepped on, at least here in the US. We're spending TONS of money we don't have to pay off the other money we didn't have. Great system.

I'm slightly tired from work, but I feel as if I might feel better in the long run if I avoid napping throughout the day. What's Johns experience with this?

>>

John Smith 13/04/14(Sun)17:19 No. 40136

I feel that having naps after work is a good plan for me. If I get a few hours sleep as soon as I come home then I can stay up later into the night and feel fine the next day, and I tend to enjoy myself more when I know that it's later and I should be in bed.

Apologies for the outburst, John.

John Smith 13/04/14(Sun)21:05 No. 40137

Yes, I can agree with you on that sentiment about being awake later.

>Apologies for the outburst, John.
That's fine, It's easy to get carried away when talking about something your care about.

This reminds me of the new show on the science channel called "What is That?"

I don't know what that is.

It looks like scratched, painted metal or concrete. Maybe an old wall in a city. Please find out what it is because I am fascinated.

The strip of material in the middle appears to be attached with rivets, as though it were metal, but the reflective surface suggests plastic or possibly a glass coating.

It reminds me of these thinhgs. Whatever the English word for them may be. They can be as shiny, scratched and rivited as OP's picture.

Dear John, Just went to the dentists for my regular cleaning. The dentist looked almost surprised at first, and later on through the cleaning (which was rather sparing than previous ones) told me that my teeth were wonderful. She said the only picky thing was something about a hard to reach spot of my molars, but that's exactly why it wasn't cleaned well there. It gave me some self confidence hearing that. In addition, tomorrow I'm hanging out with a group of friends I recently met who I seem to have much in common with. These may be those friends people say you meet in high school that you stay friends with the rest of your life, and that would be a good thing. So John, how was your day? What have you been up to lately?

John Smith 13/04/12(Fri)03:52 No. 40115

Are your teeth white? Mine are clean and healthy, but they are always yellow and it worries me slightly, but I'm not going to pay to whiten them. Seems superficial, you know?

my teeth are sort of white, they have a yellowish tint. I've been told that it's natural to have a slight yellowish color, so I just don't worry about it. It's not noticeably yellow, just a very faint yellow that's only really visible in the light. What do you have, John? Is it a dark yellow or just a faint yellow? If it's dark, before you try paying copious amounts for whitening, just get some whitening toothpaste.

When i'm ill i find myself watching television and catching up on work and other items of import that i should have done whilst able-bodied. Does John think this is normal? What would John recommend doing whilst incapacitated by illness?

John Smith 13/04/11(Thu)18:12 No. 40112

Far be it from me to judge what is normal and what isn't but it seems that you are following textbook procedure for recuperation and convalescence. Personally, I'm a reader whilst feeling somewhat unwell or under the weather and applaud the invention of Kindles and other such e-reader things.

Well, Johns. I spent most of yesterday repairing the door on our refrigerator and defrosting our freezer.

I found both of these tasks to be very therapeutic in their /eh/ness and I was fairly disappointed that there were no other mundane jobs to do around the house today.

Maybe something else will need doing tomorrow.

If you have been putting off any repair jobs, I'd heartily recommend that you don't ignore them because the likelihood is that they won't go away on their own

Same here, John. Why only this afternoon I fed the ericaceous plants in my garden and checked to see if the hedgehogs have come out of hibernation yet. Judging by the stools I found in the garden I deduced that they were indeed coming out of hibernation.

Following on from my previous post. The hedgehogs are officially out of hibernation. I just saw one at the feeding plate. (UK so it's night here)

This makes me very happy

I was driving down a road I don't normally go down today and saw a building with the name "TUESDAY MORNING" in white, all caps lettering. It struck me as an extremely /eh/ name. What other businesses and things have extremely 'eh' names, John?

I have a shop called Tuesday Morning where I live. They sell clothing, some of it on consignment. However, on mine, the sign is in red block letters rather than white.

There used to be a shop called 'Miss Nob' where I used to live. I believe it was a clothing shop for ladies.

I kind of miss floppy disks.

I can't remember the last time I used one.

Thank you John. Ironically I was not happy with the quality so I created a smoother one a few minutes ago.

I also enjoyed the aesthetic of magnetic disks a great deal more than optical discs.

Particularly, I have never felt comfortable with how loosely CDs fit onto their tray or dropping them onto the tray.

Disks fit only in one position and locked in place. It may have been less convenient, but it felt... secure.

Not very /eh/ but I remember this every time I think of how great floppy's were.
