Windfall 

An extremely rare blessing that we all wish and crave for, especially when pumping your life and soul into a 50k job and having absolute nothingness in the bank just doesn’t cut it.
A windfall is something that will get you out of a rut, a sick obsession, a crappy lifestyle, the guilt of being useless at life and/ or poor financial status. The most appealing factor is the relief of not being bogged down or controlled by whatever tomfoolery the economy is up to, or dealing with inflation charades. Or any nasty surprise charade by the govt for that matter.
If a windfall doesn’t come my way by Saturday night, I will die.

The windfall will allow me to have an absolutely stunning summer ahead, then an absolutely stunning life thereafter.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
