It’s for U.S. Cellular, specifically advertising how great their streaming service is. You can even , the guy in the ad says, stream hours of grass mowing.
And I go… “wait a minute…that sounds weird…why hasn’t this ad ended yet?”
And I look at the bottom.
the ad is seven hours long.
UPDATE
i’m half an hour in
the guy’s come back a couple times. his mower broke down and he went to get more gas. he came back and started it up again, drove around a few more times making comments about it being fun and “you still watchin? weird.” After a bit he took out a ruler and started measuring the grass.
He pulled out a book and a lawn chair and started reading, but he just left and said he’ll be back soon
he brought out an umbrella but it fell over so he left and came back and tried to fix it but it completely broke so he stalked off, dragging the chair behind him. i’m loving this.
HE BROUGHT OUT A HAND-HELD UMBRELLA
he’s really getting into the book
He put away the umbrella and book and stuff and now he’s measuring the grass again.
HE’S GONNA PLAY CROQUET
the sprinklers turned on…i’m two hours into this thing
Sometimes I wonder about how I end up where I end up on the internet.
What I’ve been doing for the last 3 hours:
While cooking lunch I was like “I’m going to work on that never-ending witchcraft story I’ve been dabbling with for YEARS”.” Then while eating lunch I watched episode 4 of The Purge tv series. I visited a forum to discuss the episode. And then I saw something (I can’t remember what now) that made me think about bdsm– Oh! on the episode, the married could was like ‘we won’t do that kinky 50 shades stuff’ – and I got to a board talking about folks being domineering as opposed to dominant. This made me think of a problem I run into in that the internet would have you think that scenes can’t happen without degradation and guess what I’m not into!
Someone mentioned their partner calling them racial slurs during sex and my brain completely shifted gears. I spent like an hour trying to find an explanation for so-called “raceplay” because while a lot of kinks just aren’t for me (ex: degradation) or involve things that make my skin crawl (ex: them “sports” involving “water”), I can usually go ‘well that’s why consent is important. do you boo.’ But raceplay isn’t one of those things I can just “to each their own” my brain into understanding? From there I got frustrated because I couldn’t find folks who admittedly participate in it and had talked about it. (This may have been a subconscious lack of wanting to find it because everything is on the internet somewhere right?) I found people who had sexual partners spring that shit on them, but then the convo dipped into talk about consent (which is definitely a valid convo) but I wanted to know why someone would want to play the role of the person who demeans someone in that particular type of “play” in the first place. And THAT got me to thinking about how overall I have an easier time understanding what subs get out of submission, but I’ve never actually considered what Doms get out of dominating.”
But then I log onto tumblr out of habit and ended up looking up dogs.
… I still haven’t added anything to my witchcraft story.
Not complaining, but Jack Russell Terriers live for ages. Mine just turned 17.
How does one mentally prepare for the inevitability that their dog only has a few years left?
My baby only has one major issue and only sometimes: There’s some arthritis that bothers him in the colder months (but I live in Georgia so we don’t get much of that) but with help of my vet and his own sweaters we get through that just fine. He’s not fast as he used to be and there are actually moments when he runs out of energy. JRTs don’t ever seem to stop moving so the first few times it happened, I had to consciously remember ‘oh yeah, he is a senior dog.’ I keep waiting for the fur on his head and tail to turn grey/white but, while it is a bit “faded”, it’s still brown in those two places (his body has always been white). I guess that’s as “grey” as he’s gonna get? (One of my neighbors had a boxer who was completely brown in his youth but completely grey in his later years).
When I first got him at 4 months old in January of 2002, research indicated that JRTs live about 12-15 years. Researching it now shows 13-17 years lol. When he hit 12, I was like “welp, gotta prepare that it’s gonna happen some day.” I had the same thought at 15. Now at 17, I feel like he’ll hit 20 easily (of course dogs age differently and he’s the only one I’ve had this long so I have nothing to base this off of), but I still have to remind myself ‘Sheena, now you know someday he’s gonna go…’
Is that all I can do? Just remind myself periodically and keep loving my baby? It’s gonna suck when it does happen so that’s why I want to mentally prepare myself as much as possible. What should I look out for when he’s actually toward the end?
