Oh wow the foulness!

So I have this job interview on Wednesday morning in Santa Barbara. Since part of this job is sales, I want to look good. So I went and bought some lipstick (don't laugh) and I thought the pores in my nose and on my chin looked a bit clogged. So, for the first time in my life, I bought a combo pack of those Biore strips - some for the face and some for the nose. 15 minutes ago I slapped them on my face, and just removed them.

OH MY GOD! I pulled the most foul yet intriguing oil "worms" out of my nose! There were hundreds of them! It was wonderful! I was full of rapture! I want to do this every day!

So, I'm happy. And my skin looks much better now.

The closest country that Biore sells is the UK - you can probably find them in your pharmacy/chemist in Antwerp:

ohhh I need to buy those, I love stuff like that. Jim has this one blackhead on the back right at the neck that the first time I squeezed it the stuff came the size of my pinky, I kid you not, I had a nightmare at night that I was squeezing a snake out of it. Now that blackhead is not that big but every time I try to squeeze it there is enough stuff to feed Russia in it. I love it. Now off to biore strips!

I had a dream once that one of the male brokers here in my office was pulling a worm from one of my nipples. He kept pulling, hand over hand, and it just coiled at his feet. Needless to say that dream was very disturbing.

1) Once my oldest daughter (when she was 6-7 and living with us in YellowSnow) had a blood-booger hanging from her nose just as we were about to go out somewhere. So I grabbed a kleenex, pinched the booger, and started pulling. The dried-blood bit that I grabbed was attached to a mucousy long worm-like thing, that just kept coming and coming. I had to kind of roll the kleenex to catch it all. Daughter starting making a kind of "Ohhhh!" noise until it came out. All in all, it must have been 20 cm/8" long. She afterwards said it felt like I was pulling her brains out.

2) I tried Biore strips out as soon as I could find some (IIRC, down south in 1998). They work great in the sense that they grab all sorts of shit from my nose blackheads. They suck shit in the sense that the blackheads always re-fill. Damn.
