My Idiosyncracies

id·i·o·syn·cra·sy
ˌidēəˈsiNGkrəsē/
noun
  1. a mode of behavior or way of thought peculiar to an individual.
    "one of his little idiosyncrasies was always preferring to be in the car first"

This is an attempt at listing my idiosyncrasies:

1. I am compelled to put dishes away when I see them dried and still out on the rack.

2. I always turn lights not being used in my apartment off when I notice. (Our electricity bill is steadily decreasing.)

3. I never leave the seat up. If I am in the bathroom and notice it up, I'll put it down for the next use.

4. Speaking of bathrooms, I started using adult wipes about 2 years ago and now I can't go back.

5. I often will try to answer others' questions using the least number of words possible.

6. (I'll add more later.)

    Pray tell, what is the difference between baby wipes and adult wipes? I'm glad you're an electricity saver--me too. It reminds me of those elementary school environmental songs, "Turn it off, turn it off, runnnnnning waaaater."

    I believe adult wipes are thicker (softer) and not so wet. Bryan was so enthusiastic about them I bought myself some but keep forgetting to use them! I knew the last 3 but was unfamiliar with the dishes and lights deal. Based on this list, you would make an excellent husband, except for #5: women usually like to have lots of feedback, conversation, words, words, words complete us! Now you can't say you never knew...

    Yes, it does sound like you're nearing the end of your "livin' with the bachelor slobs" rope. Glad you like to keep things in order, that will serve you well I think. I remember that Elementary environmental program too.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
