It’s like a Ferrelly Brothers movie!

You want to know how big a geek I am? I scheduled a shower to co-inside with Fresh Air because Terri Gross was interviewing Peter Segal from Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me . My shower radio is the only one in the house that picks up our public radio station consistently and it was take a shower or spend an hour sitting in the bathroom. I did not spend an hour in the shower, more like 35 minutes, but I washed my hair while I was there. If I had thought about it I would have washed the dog and caught the first part of the interview.

They talked about sex. I really can’t imagine anyone I want to hear talk about sex less than Terri Gross and Peter Segal. I mean really. And I could have gone my whole life without hearing Terri Gross ask Peter Segal “So, how sexually confidant are you?” .

Public Radio is the only place you’re ever going to hear Peter Segal asked about sexual confidence (he doesn’t have any, but likes to talk to people who do), his first experience watching porn (in college - lesson learned, if you have never watched a porno before, do not do so in public) and what he thought about titty bars ( he worried about whether the “dancers” liked him. His friends told him that the dancers are not paid to think) .

He thought that porn was oddly not a turn on since it made him feel like he was watching a nature show. I can concur with that. The first time I watched a porno it was very much like watching Wild Kingdom “Look the male is aroused! The female is showing her interest in the male, she is positioning herself! Look a penis! It’s a vagina! I wonder what will happen next! He’s mounting her! And we have The Act” . Really, porn is just like watching a badly scored nature show. But instead of bright plumage they feature bad tats and light blue eye shadow. They both include a similar heavy emphasize on mating calls. But Wild Kingdom never featured a “money shot”. Maybe they do now though, but I have never seen Meerkat Manor so I can’t know for sure.

Moving on.

Maintenance have determined the reason the fire alarm was tripped this morning was the use of a Glade Spray Air Freshener that was sprayed in the downstairs women's bathroom. It is believed this may have also tripped the fire alarm previously. These smoke detectors are very sensitive, and the spray breaks the beam and thus trips the smoke detectors.

Can you imagine? That could leave you with a real complex, and the alarm! The alarm is so loud that it hurts my eyes when it goes off. I don’t think it was our first floor ladies room that was the guilty potty, but I did notice later on that our Glade was removed. In our old building we had a certain amount of bathroom privacy but we didn’t have air freshener on a regular basis. In the new building up until the other day, there were always air fresheners in the stalls. In the new building, the bathroom can serve two at a time. We gained a working A/C but we lost our private bathroom.
