My sleep study didn't have much sleep going on. But it was still nice. I produced concrete evidence my knees are definitely bad, I was more relaxed and calm there than I am at home, and the lady supervising it gave me some awesome recommendations of things to do amd check out. She also referred me to a salon to get my facial hair waxed, and said they could also do my eyebrows and it would "probably look hot on [me].
And then in my normal life where my mom basically just sees me as a regular guy and is hellbent on keeping me out of stuff. Such as wanting to cut my hair straight across so she can do it. Or just do the waxing myself. Again.
I'd rather get out and meet people and do normal women's things.

And mindfulness is just so very overrated.
Mindfulness meditation can increase selfishness and reduce generosity among those with independent self-construals

Does anybody really know what day it is?
Does anyone care?
And so I can't imagine why;
We all have time enough to die...

I also realized I probably also have eczema, as the red patch on the opposite side of my elbow returned as I was being wired up. And I also dealt with some pretty bad joint pains, so probably some autoimmune crap going on.

I'm convinced they worship the Many Faced God.

I was going with making a tiny non-sequiter change to the lyrics from a Chicago song from long ago...

You need to transcend the world of the senses. It's the sensible thing to do.

Without senses, yer just a brain in a vat.

Gold wrapped quatloos...

I thought gold was worthless. It was the latinum that had value. So maybe some quatloo-pressed latinum.

On the other hand, it didn't appear to be the case throughout the Federation.

Gold | Memory Alpha | Fandom

Gold was a metallic element, number 79 on the periodic table.

Though once considered very valuable, by the 23rd century the Federation considered it almost worthless, except for decorative and functional purposes. (TOS: "Catspaw"; TNG: "The Last Outpost", "Time's Arrow"; VOY: "Muse") Items covered in gold were said to be gilded. (TOS: "I, Mudd")

Fort Knox on Earth was the largest repository of gold bullion in Earth's history. With the transition to the New World Economy during the late 22nd century, money became obsolete and Fort Knox was turned into a museum. Around 2365, two Ferengi made a failed attempt to break into the vault. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")

Florida man tries to throw live gator onto building's roof (apnews.com)

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man told police officers he was “teaching it a lesson” when he tried to throw a live alligator he had stolen from a miniature golf course onto the roof of a beachside cocktail lounge, authorities said.

The 32-year-old man was arrested early Thursday when Daytona Beach Shores police officers spotted him attempting to throw the gator onto the roof of a cocktail lounge located just off Highway A1A, according to a police report.

The officers then saw the man take the alligator by its tail, hit it against the awning of the building, throw it to the ground and stomp on it twice, the report said.

The man from Homestead, Florida was taken into custody and charged with possession and injury of an alligator, unarmed burglary of an occupied dwelling, theft and criminal mischief.

The man told officers that he had stolen the gator from an enclosure at a nearby miniature golf course.

An online court docket showed no attorney for the man, who remained in jail Friday morning.

I guess it's not surprising that this happened in Florida. I condemn what this guy did by throwing an alligator onto a roof. But it's so strange. What kind of "lesson" was he going to teach the alligator? And why would a miniature golf course have an alligator in the first place?

I'm wondering if the guy was playing miniature golf and the alligator somehow got in the way or messed up his shot. Sometimes, these articles don't include too many details.
