Ten Minutes of Random

• Been a while since I went random on you.
• I kind of stopped the random thing as soon as I sensed it was trendy.
• Trendy-ness confounds me.
• I am equally drawn to it and repelled by it.
• Like that weird, thick space between two magnets with the same charge.
• Remember when the movie Titanic came out?
• That was really trendy.
• I didn't see it for about three years.
• Because I'm principled like that.
• What was I proving and to whom?
• Dunno.
• Anyway, here I am, back and spouting random thoughts.
• Like this one: I had an enormous zit on my lip yesterday.
• It was Titanic in scope.
• I tried to ignore it.
• Ignoring it is recommended by Seventeen magazine.
• As well as four out of five dentists.
• I ignored it until 2:00 p.m.
• Then I performed home surgery on it.
• My eyes were watering, it hurt so bad.
• It was like giving birth through a tiny pore on the edge of my lip.
• I wished for an epidural.
• Or a lipidural.
• I also wished for lyposuction.
• Because you might as well wish for a couple of things at once.
• Just in case there are some 2-for-1 wishing specials.
• Wish update: not granted. 
• None of the above.
• In other news, I can't get enough of Food Network.
• Especially this time of year.
• I've watched approximately 144 Thanksgiving meals prepared in the last two weeks.
• It fulfills me in a way that is difficult to describe.
• I'm afraid, though, that when Thanksgiving rolls around, I'll only be in the mood for tacos.
• But I don't care.
• I'm going to watch more Food Network.
• Because I'm risky like that.
• One last thought.
• I've been sipping a 5-hour energy drink all day.
• How does the math work on that?
