Okay, maybe not “crashing”, a.la Hey Dingus. But some thoughts did come to me while listening to Hemispheric Views #109: HAZCHEM that I’d though I share with others.

Haircuts

I’m sorry but I cannot disagree more. I don’t really want to talk while I’m getting a haircut. I mean I will if they’re striking up a conversation with me, but I’m generally not there to make new friends; just to get my hair cut quickly and go about my day. I feel this way about taxis too.

I’m Rooted

I haven’t really used “rooted” or “knackered” that much. My goto phrase is “buggered,” as in “oh man, I’m buggered!” or simply just “tired”. I sometimes used “exhausted” when I’m really tired, but there’s just too many syllable in that word for daily use.

Collecting

I’m the same regarding stickers. I received (although not really sought after) stickers from various podcasts and I didn’t know what to do with them. I’ve started keeping them in this journal I never used, and apart from my awful handwriting documenting where they’re from and when I added them, so far it’s been great.

Journal opened up to a double page showing stickers from omg.lol and Robb Knight

I probably do need to get some HV stickers, though.

A Trash Ad for Zachary

Should check to see if Johnny Decimal got any conversions from that ad in #106. 😀

Also, here’s a free tag line for your rubbish bags: we put the trash in the bags, not the pods.

I’m going to make the case for Vivaldi. Did you know there’s actually a Pomodoro timer built into Vivaldi? Click the clock on the bottom-right of the status bar to bring it up.

Never used it myself, since I don’t use a Pomodoro timer, but can Firefox do that?!

Once again, a really great listen, as always.
