hurshy

oh i'm just watching a new (fictional) show about a deaf gal who gets pulled into lip reading for the police (british)

7:46 pm

hurshy

and they tell her not to look up stuff she's helped them see or figure out for her own safety

7:46 pm

hurshy

and she leaves and goes and googles the people and subjects

7:46 pm

nrkii

I'd probably do what she did

7:46 pm

hurshy

i would have been like "oh ok" and NOT LOOKED THE STUFF UP

7:47 pm

nrkii

but I can be stupid that way

7:47 pm

hurshy

7:48 pm

hurshy

yes, en6 was my last word

7:49 pm

nrkii

Ugh, a fly got in the house today and it's one of the dive-bombing ones so my reflexes are way too slow and my dog is just looking sad because his are too

hurshy

a mosquito was in my office yesterday and bit me at least 3 places :(

7:50 pm

nrkii

Ricky has been known to catch flies in mid-air. And then chew them up and swallow them. It's gross, but impressive.

7:50 pm

hurshy

my cats mostly just PLAY with bugs instead of killing/eating

7:50 pm
