I think it's funny how little things fascinate me. Like how the average person doesn't know to scrunch up a new pompon to make it not look so droopy. Or how funny guinea pigs look when they stand up like squirrels do. Or that guinea pigs like Ritz crackers, and how neat it feels when they eat stuff out of your hand. Or the tickle of a horse's whiskers when it's searching for food in your empty palm. Or how, no matter what a cat eats, it's breath will always smell like fish. Or how quickly graham crackers get mushy when put into milk.

Likewise, I find it interesting that certain other little things get under my skin. Like how glitter fingernail polish is so hard to remove completely. Or that gross aftertaste that some (raspberry) lipglosses have. Or how the coffee stirrers they have at work don't reach all the way down to the bottom of my standard-sized thermal mug and I have to string 2 of them together, and one of them always ends up splitting and so I have to keep trying until I can make a good connection out of a couple. Nothing big, of course, just little things that make me grumpy.

People are so unusual when you look at the details of each one.

I think something died in the ladies' room, because it smells really bad in there. Not bathroom-bad...more like dead-mouse-stuck-under-something-and-now-it's-rotting-bad. As I walked out of there, it occurred to me that it smelled a little like that smell that science classrooms get during disection days. Kind of a formaldehyde/dead animal smell. And then I thought about this book I'm reading in which a guy has these blackouts and goes on violent rampages that he doesn't remember, but right before he blacks out, he senses a really bad smell that he can't identify. The smells are always precursors to the blackouts/violent rampages.

Now I'm wondering if I'm about to go on a violent rampage. I kind of hope not, for that would pretty much mess up my entire day. But on the flip side of that, it'd provide me with something fairly cool to talk about in my blogger. You see? Not everything is all bad.
