Mucous, Size 14 Font and Humans (in no particular order)

Every time I've watched Being Human, a main character dies. And even though I've only watched a handful of episodes, I end up a sobbing mess on the floor. Well, that's a lie. Usually, Being Human is on ABC around say 9.30pm. By that time, my mum's probably reading in bed, dad's in the front room listening to music and my brother is on the computer. I'm sitting in front of the TV, holding in my sobs and quietly blowing my nose so no one hears me.

It cuts deep that I missed the first couple of seasons where everything was (relatively) dandy and no main characters were dead. In the last episode I watched, the last (alive) main character died (/spoilers). And then I just read online that the only last remaining (dead) main character also just died. I feel like my heart has been broken.

You know how mother's with stillborn children or miscarriages mourn their children even though they never got to meet? That's how I feel right now. It's like I'm missing something I never even got to know.

(So... maybe that was a bit of a tactless analogy... Oh well)

I just got an email earlier from the guy I'm doing my FCP learning outcome with this week. I cracked up so hard when I opened his bit. It was in size 14 font. Size 14! I just laughed and laughed. I was like, "Is he trying to make it look longer or is this his default font?" And he started referencing from number 11. Number 11. It was so random. I saw the reference 11 and I was all, "WHEN DID I MISS THE FIRST 10?" I was so confused. But then I laughed some more at the font size then I ate some crispy m&ms.

Lastly, the reproduction lecturer (K-k-k-kathy) keeps putting up this slide of cervical mucous. It's of these fingers with the mucous in between and the fingers are slightly apart so you can see the mucous stretching from one finger to the other...

IT IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST HEINOUS AND FOUL THINGS I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE.

I mean, did someone really do this? Did someone really get a glob of a woman's cervical mucous and play with it in his/her fingers like putty?

THIS IS LEGITIMATELY RIDONKULOUS.

Why would you do that? How much money did this hand model (assuming...) get paid? Did this happen in Russia?

I have no words (well, that's a lie. I just used several words to discuss my feelings towards this).

Holla back.
