Trade Fairs and Toothbrushes
I've seen CSI get a lot of stuff wrong but I don't quite know how the visual effects guys managed to screw up how contrast works.
My wound is definitely healing a bit now. I'm finding it easier to walk and the new bandage isn't nearly as complex or as large as the previous one. I'm still in bad enough shape to get out of doing any kind of heavy lifting in preparation for the school's Christmas trade fair. Actually, I don't think I even have to help out at all; I'm certainly not hanging around after school until it starts like the rest of my class.
My mum and my sister are heading along anyway so I figure I'll go along (in my own clothes rather than school uniform, so that I can just blend into the crowd if I see any teachers looking like they want helpers) and give a hand to my friends who are running the video games room. They've apparently had a lot of “volunteers” for that section but since they are trying to make money, they're going to have to turn most of them away. Still, they actually asked me to help out so I figure I should do what I can.
I'm also kind of screwed in that I haven't done a rather large chunk of Physics homework. In my defence, I didn't actually have the necessary sheet but I feel like I probably should have noticed that before tonight.
Not much I can do now.
I've got something I'd like to show you tonight. What do you reckon this is?
That's right, it's a toothbrush. Above it is the Apple Remote that I couldn't be bothered moving off my desk, but that isn't really important for the matter at hand.
Now, what do you reckon this is?
It, too, is a toothbrush. My new electric toothbrush, to be precise.
As you can see, it comes with a wide assortment of gadgets and gizmos, some of which wouldn't look out of place on the Starship Enterprise. In the centre are the various heads that can be attached – the ones on the right look semi-sensible, aside from the one in the top left-hand corner, which seems to be for people with... I have no idea. Probably useful for the Enterprise's dental hygienist to have all the same, given the number of different species onboard.
The heads to the left seem to be required for either flossing, scraping or detecting the tachyon signatures of cloaked Romulan ships. Then to the right, past the first set of heads, is some kind of strange and tiny comb that looks a bit like a stylised Blooper from the Mario games.
My personal favourite part is the “number pad” on the far left. Each of those numbers is a sticker which, as the diagram shows, you are meant to affix to the front of the holder. You should pick the number that represents the month three months from now, which is the time after which you're supposed to choose a new head. Never mind that those things last way longer than that and that such a system couldn't possibly work for more than a year with the stickers provided. You get free stickers!
Woo!
Anyway, I need to get up early tomorrow to pack some gaming gear as well as do my usual morning wound washing routine, so I'm off to bed.
Have a nice day.
