The mother-load of belly button fluff
January 5th, 2008Yesterday I mentioned that there was a nice gathering in my navel and upon extraction I was not disappointed. Mother-load is a bit of an exaggeration as it isn’t once of the biggest lint-balls my navel has ever produced, but after the last few days of little or no accretion, I am overjoyed.
A full 10 mm of prime grey lint complete with a belly hair coiled through it.
This picture was taken with the close-up lens I am borrowing from a colleague. The depth of focus is so shallow that it is very hard to get the entire lint-ball into focus.
In other news my mobile phone has been playing up somewhat. There are a few broken buttons and the alarm goes off whenever I need to reset the phone - which is about once a day because it is shite- without any means of turning it off or disabling it. My mobile provider is being kind enough to next-day courier a replacement to me, but this does mean I need to get any data off my phone so that the courier can take it away. You wouldn’t think this would be too hard with no less than four methods of wireless communication available to it, but after emailing, uploading to the internet, Bluetooth, wifi and infra-red all failed I am left feeling very frustrated with life, technology and especially the Orange SPV (Steaming Pile of Vomit) M3100. In the end I just gave up and performed a factory reset, hence losing all of the data on the phone - I hope there was nothing I can’t live without.
