1) The universe can stop crapping on my friends, their pets, and my pets. (No new news on Babe, and Apple's fine. I just didn't want to exclude Babe from the list.) Honest to pity, this is more than enough.

2) Well, my removed moles have officially caused me pain...but only because the bandaids I used (to replace his, after I had a bath - one of them had bled a little and I wanted to be sure) had perniciously strong adhesive that hurt like heck coming off. *wry* Other than that they're fine.

3) Today I'm wearing a denim skirt and the patterned shirt that I sewed up the neckline on. I like the outfit, it's cute. I still need to convince this shirt that my bra straps aren't worth displaying, but right now I'm just lounging about the house, so enh.

4) I wish my iPhone would let me load my old, beloved ringtones (which aren't FROM songs so I can't just buy new copies of them, they were composed AS ringtones). Even the workarounds that I've found online don't work. They do load it to the iPhone but it ends up with X copies of the first one, where X is the number I uploaded total. I may do it anyway, just to get the default ringtone I'm used to onto it, at least. So far, that's one of only two things to really aggravate me about the iPhone, and it aggravates me a lot more than the other (which is the tiny size of the digital keyboard coupled with its tendency to often be one key off coupled with its horrid inevitably-wrong-and-useless auto-correct). I don't actually LIKE the idea of having bits of songs as ringtones, I like ringtones that sound like themselves and not like anything else I listen to. Most songs, as far as I can hear listening to them, would make shitty ringtones. (This is ignoring the cost of making a ringtone from them through the store; I mind less that they want to make money, and more that they are screwing with my ability to have ringtones I would actually consider to indicate that my phone is ringing!)

5) I like radishes. Hey, how else can this be random babble than if some actual random babble creeps in?

I made a few ringtones last week for my iPhone, and the one I think I'm going to use most often is a clip from the beginning of the anime Cowboy Bebop. It starts with a very loud trumpet blast, and I can't mistake that for anything else when I'm out and about!

I feel your pain with bandaids. I can't even use them anymore. I have to get gauze pads and the gentlest, least adhesive cloth tape we can find. Anything else gives me a rash. Boo adhesive!

Band-aid trivia: if you take one of those pre-wrapped alcohol pads that come in most first aid kits (or a alcohol-soaked cotton ball if you don't have a pad) and rub it along the connection point between your skin and the band-aid as you're pulling it off, the alcohol releases your skin from the adhesive and it doesn't hurt at all.

Only way I can get band-aids off the boys unless I let them keep the band-aids on for a week at a time. (EW!)

**edit**

Oh, and just in case you ever need it: put school glue on a splinter. Let it dry. Peel glue off. Splinter comes with it. Never use tweezers again!
