Mistress of the Universe
I wonder if I can control the universe with the power of my mind?
I am starting to think so. Doesn't it seem like I have an awful lot of moments of synchronicity? No one else seems to notice these as often as I do--or if they do, they don't report it as often as I do. And I often have episodes that I don't blog about because of time or whatever. Which leads me to wonder, am I more observant than others, thus producing the synchronicity effect more often, or, do I, in fact, control the universe with my mind?
Today, I was sorting a cart of books for reshelving. One of the books (and only one) fell off the cart as I was pushing it. They were packed on there pretty tightly so I was surprised that one fell off. Before I could pick it up, one of my bosses grabbed it and got all excited. It was a book called The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. She started telling me all about this book and how much she loves it and on and on. That's fine. It isn't my cup of tea, but I am glad she was so excited about it.
-THEN-
About 10 minutes later the phone rang and I picked it up. It wasn't busy at all and this was the first call I got today. The woman says to me, "do you have The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood checked in?" No freaking kidding.
Obviously I knew that it was checked in since I had held it in my hand minutes before.
Okay, so that is weird enough, but then.....
A guy called me over to his computer and told me he was having trouble making the page load. I checked it out and I couldn't make it work, so I switched his browser and we went to the site he was at. He told me he was trying to load a television show in case that makes any difference. It doesn't, at all, but I had some time to kill so I said, "whatcha watching?". He said, "Bones."
Bizarre? Not really....
...but then I said, "Oh I love that show, are you watching the new ones?" And he said, "no, I am trying to catch up and I am watching the old ones." I said that I am doing that exact same thing and asked where he was and he said, "the one I am trying to load is called The Passenger in the Oven."
Now, that is weird.
I actually told him about the blog I JUST wrote about that episode and while this might have fallen under the category of TMI, he did agree that this was weird.
Now, both of these episodes happened within a couple hours of each other. That's fairly unusual, right? So I have to think that it is somehow me that is causing these connections. So I am going with Mistress of the Universe.
That will now be my official title and, henceforth, I expect to be addressed as such.
P.S. Apropos of nothing, the title of the blog makes me think of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series from when I was a kid. My brothers were big He-Man fans and I usually played the role of She-Ra. I also had a She-Ra doll that was about half the size of a Barbie Doll--I taught myself how to french braid hair on that tiny little doll and that is still a skill I retain today. See how educational toys can be?

Have you ever had a WOW chip? Oh, no, you'd remember
Do you remember where you were the first time you tried a Wow chip?
Hopefully within running distance of a toilet.
What a disaster of a product.
Remember, that fat substitute that was known to run through people?
It was called Olestra (marketed under the name Olean) and discovered by Procter & Gamble.
Some at P&G thought this was breakthrough in the food industry and expected a billion plus market.
P&G pushed hard (probably not with any Olestra in their system at the time) on Congress and the FDA to get approval and their patents extended.
On January 24, 1996, the FDA approved olestra for use in savory snacks such as chips, crackers, and tortilla chips.
I don't know - does savory have different meanings because I only remember the toilet time with those Wow chips?
Here's a statement from the FDA years ago about labeling:

Here's a statement from the FDA years ago about labeling:
" The FDA concluded that the label statement was no longer warranted because:
'Real-life' consumption studies of products containing olestra showed olestra caused only infrequent, mild gastrointestinal (GI) effects. In fact, a 6-week study with more than 3,000 people showed that the group consuming olestra-containing chips experienced only a minor increase in bowel movement frequency compared to those people who consumed only full-fat chips."
3000 people ?? I wonder what they got paid for that study? Hopefully enough to cover 6 weeks of underwear.
So why bring this up? I heard about a new application for Olestra recently.
This time the shelves of the paint department might soon have Olestra based paint. P&G calls the new chemical mix, Sefose. Sefose can be used to replace harmful ingredients commonly found in oil paints.
lots of memories in my head
not sure what i feel, what i want, what i'm doing with myself, what this means...i'm making mistakes, but why?
i'll try to be on here more when i go to europe so i have some record of the experience, but no promises

randomly remembering dreams, occasionally
okay so, you know how sometimes you randomly when you aren't doing anything particularly interesting, just completely out of the blue right into your head comes this thought of some memory you probably forgot you had, or even a dream? i've gotten a few interesting ones lately, which i'd love to tell you (and even said to myself "hey, that would be mildly amusing/interesting to tell someone about!)—except that just like regular dreams, i tend to forget them quickly, and haven't written them down. i do enjoy when i can actually remember revisiting a place from a dream, and recognize it as such..not that i've had a lucid one in years. used to all the time when i was younger, though. wonder what happened..
these reversible athletic shorts i bought recently for tennis/working out are pretty nice..except when you flip them to the silver side, the pockets don't also flip..so then you have this inside pockets, which are just totally useless except for maybe if i were packing heat, which i'll probably never be, so! still useless. been a few days since the non-talking; i didn't break the silence, however, nor do i ever intend to..
applied to a couple jobs on craigslist..got one autoresponse back that basically looked like a scam i'd received earlier..and these careerbuilder emails are full of spam companies as well. you'd think they would have less disingenuous ways to prey on the little people, but noo..
