This morning has been a wonderfully amusing one... i've seen or heard or a bucketload full of things that have brought a smile to my face in a way that has made this random Monday morning very worthwhile! The pinacle of these amusing things happened on my way home from the journ dept a moment ago. Firstly i encounterd (and i mean encountered as in 'almost ridden over' kind of way) a man in a truck who was reversing down the wrong lane in Prince Alfred street.... once the whole possible-death thing was over, i laughed. Then whilst passing by one of the annex buildings before the philosophy dept i saw through the window (i always look through those windows... it's like getting to watch your very own human zoo everytime you go past... these people obviously don't believe in net curtains!) that someone had a stationary holder on their desk, but all that you could see in it was a toothbrush and toothpaste! The complete randomness of this on the desk of some (probably) aging academic made me hose myself all the way down to Allan Gray... talk about halitophobia (the fear of having bad breath) when you replace pencils with dental accessories. NOTE: After re-reading this I realise that it is probably not so funny and the amusingness of it is much more related to my mood than anything else.
Talking about dental accessories though, I was shouted at by my dentist this vac for my failure in having been brought up in a family of non-flossers. He is a dear aging Polish man who amuses me greatly (not intentionally though) and whose horror at my unflossed dentures (despite the fact that I've never had a filling) was so sincere and touching that it flung me into a momentary state of guilt and I went to purchase some of this floss stuff. Learning to use it however, has been a whole other DIY adventure... and not one that I shall ever submit my adoring public to!
Now it's time for lunch and then some of the profound wisdom of Gareth at SOAR, but for all those who I encounter for the rest of the day... you have been warned: 
5:40 PM turns out that the halitophobia joke is on me... lunch today was SERIOUSLY pungently garlicy... so i had to run back to res before SOAR to...yup you guessed it...brush my teeth! *blush* hehe :D I guess the people who sat next to me at SOAR were grateful tho! :)
