what mood is your crotch in today?

one thing that's becoming apparent through this lady i'm seeing is that i'm less sexual than i used to be. connection and intimacy feels more important. i think a lot and this can get in the way of getting sexually immersed. it reminds me of another thing i stopped immersing myself in: movies, television and books. i'm very mindful all the time and rarely forget my surroundings.

when i get too drunk to walk straight, i apologise to the bartender. when he tells me "you need to go home" i just say "okay" and walk out. i don't always go home, but usually, i do.

George Carlin, stand-up comedian, on stage, aged 70 making standup comedy about getting old "Old Fuck" is the name of the routine

not many comedians work into old age George Carlin did. i watched a routine of his about "your stuff" just now that i first watched in my 20s. i'm 40 now and it made me laugh again: he was in his 40s when his career peaked. and he was still there, on stage, as he got old, and he kept on being funny.

in Swedish, eyeglasses are called "glasøgon" glas = glass øgon = øgon glasseyes i say this because i need to go outside and i'm searching for my glass eyes.

Adam Savage Gets 3D Scanned "Our final stop at the workshop of specialty costume makers FBFX is their 3D scanning room, where they've invested in high quality photogrammetry rigs to digitize their clients as an alternative to traditional lifecasting. Adam learns how this technology has a high enough fidelity to match the detail of a physical lifecast, and gets 3D scanned himself to have his own digital body form for future cosplay builds!"

when a man is told that the moustache needs to go

my physical condition could be worse. i don't lose my breath climbing the four flights of stairs from the laundromat in the basement to my apartment. gets my pulse and breathing up a bit, but nothing dramatic. there's an elevator but i always take the stairs instead, so i guess my body adapts by keeping me fit enough to manage that with reasonable comfort.

my old landlord made good money working on oil platforms before he became a landlord. no problem with the money. but not socially successful. socially speaking i think he had difficulty making friends. and his Slav wife was status-conscious, so she judged him for this lack of social success. to all the tenants, he was pretty domineering and nosy, but to his wife, he was quite submissive. no one says it out loud, but if you're a Norwegian man and you have to marry a foreign woman instead of a Norwegian one, the implication is that you weren't attractive enough to find one here, so you had to get one from abroad instead, and the woman is perceived to do this to improve her material comfort, so he's essentially her sugar daddy. Oslo is full of Thai women who divorced from such relationships and ended up working at massage parlours or as prostitutes to make ends meet, because they had no language skills and no network, making it difficult to gain regular employment.

Venn app is supposed to be for friendships and not dating, but works exactly like a dating app, and lets you filter to see people of the opposite sex only...

drinking so much diet cola was a mistake. i'm too jacked up now.

i'm meeting someone again that i met this weekend. she has to leave Oslo soon. she has intentions of returning but it'll be a while, and she may go somewhere else altogether for job opportunities. her job skills are rare but so is the demand for them. in such a small country as this, only a handful of large companies need that skill set. there are currently no job listings for it on the biggest job site in the country. in a way, it feels like her employer tricked her. they trained her on a niche tech stack, fully aware that it makes you virtually unemployable anywhere else in this country, and then they dumped her when they had no need for her anymore. she chose to work there and they chose to hire her, so it's all voluntary, but so is a toxic relationship between two consenting adults.

i feel that a lot of the people who are climate sceptics had no prior interest in natural sciences. late arrivals, trying to have an opinion on something they're FAR too ignorant for. anyone who is willing to shut the hell up and listen for a moment... this is really hard to explain through cheap and easy political points. those types aren't going to listen. even if the evidence slaps them in the face. they lack the intuition, i think. some of the smartest business people on earth are planning for climate change issues. and if you bothered to take 5 minutes to investigate the findings, you'd know it's not a natural cycle. it is measurably NOT a natural cycle. no use arguing though. so i guess this is just me venting.

note that this doesn't say that introverts never talk. nor does it say that they can't be wordy or emotional. this is more about where, when and how often they like to engage with people face-to-face.
