No comment.
Spotted in downtown DC over the weekend: "OBAMA T-SHIRTS WHITES ONLY" | | Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | | 11:55 am |
I voted.
And I was in and out in 15 minutes! And here I'd been prepared to stand in line for hours... guess I just hit it at the right time. I also took note of the campaign signs on the walls of the school, and I really wanted to vote for Ashley for secretary and Amy for treasurer, but they wouldn't let me do that. Maybe I should complain to the election board. Hope Ashley and Amy aren't too upset. | | Monday, October 27th, 2008 | | 1:06 am |
World's Worst Product Name
Spotted yesterday at a travel supply store: "The Butt Bucket". Turns out it was a travel ashtray, however, that was not at all what I was thinking. (Though what I was thinking could indeed be useful on road trips...) | | Friday, October 17th, 2008 | | 1:18 am |

Movie Review: "Across The Universe"
It was a very entertaining 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the film is 133 minutes long. Seriously, when I'M waiting impatiently for a BEATLES musical to end, you know some selective editing is necessary. The "Mr. Kite" sequence is the first thing I'd have removed. On the brighter side, I'm sure John Lennon would've loved the reinterpretations of some of the songs. On the other hand, I can just imagine Paul McCartney disapprovingly stating, "That's not what we meant!" | | Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 | | 10:40 am |
Acknowledgement from mainstream media!
Today's headline: "5 Foods That Are Good To Put On Your Face"! I can think of ONE right away!!! :) Thank you, Woman's Day... (WHAT?!?! What do you MEAN it's not included!?!?!?) | | Thursday, September 25th, 2008 | | 12:36 pm |
Sorry Kerri, the closest book was a photo book...
So I used the SECOND closest. Is that cheating? 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 56. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. 6. Tag five other people to do the same. Creative visionary Nat Hiken didn't just write hilarious scripts for the show, he populated it with funny people who have all too recognizable quirks and faults. They are nice and kind and jealous and perpetually unaware, but the scrapes and misunderstandings they find themselves in never grow out of selfishness or greed. When Toody goes undercover with a gang of bank robbers, is it his fault he forgets himself and yells out, "Cops! Let's get out of here!"? Or that he forgets the name of the bank and helps the gang rob a different one? In fact, the one time Toody does help solve a crime it's because he watches "Crimebusters", the same television show as the criminals. When a team of crooks rents a storefront next door to a bank with the intention of drilling through the wall, who do you think helps them? And when Muldoon robs a bank while trying to get money from the precinct health fund for Officer Schnauser, it's all a misunderstanding.The book in question is "SITCOMS" by Ken Bloom and Frank Vlastnik... and the sitcom in question is the lost classic, "Car 54, Where Are You?", which really, REALLY needs to be released on DVD! (Which is in fact, my main reason for posting my results.) I no longer tag people, so first five who read this (if indeed, five people even do read it), have at it! | | Thursday, September 18th, 2008 | | 1:05 am |
Vote for the candidate of our choice. Whoever that is.
Yep, it's definitely election year... We had a customer who looked at the books on our display table up front, and complained that we were favoring McCain. Then, around twenty minutes later, a different customer checked out the VERY SAME table (which, needless to say, HADN'T BEEN TOUCHED), and complained that we were favoring Obama. I just found it amusing (and I'm used to it by now, happens every election). What else can you do, you can't argue with people like that. But I'll be more than happy to wait another four years. | | Sunday, September 7th, 2008 | | 12:46 am |
For you remaining Facebook holdouts...
Yes, I am now listed as "in a relationship". Her name is Emily. She works for the Office of Management and Budget, where she manages and budgets. We have been dating for one month as of Monday. We met through okCupid, which is free, so I can't honestly say it was worth every penny. No, we have yet to put up any shelves. If any further details are necessary, you can ask. (I may not answer... but you can ask.) | | Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 | | 12:04 pm |
NFL Preseason Prediction 2008
It pains me to say it, but I have to go with my gut. The Jacksonville Jaguars will be defeated in Super Bowl XLIII by... *mumble grumble* the Dallas Cowboys. :( Of course, last year I did have the Patriots losing to... the New Orleans Saints. So there is hope. And I was half right. Hopefully the same half this year. :-P And of course, the Oakland Raiders will not win the Super Bowl because they suck. (Haven't missed on that yet.) | | Friday, August 29th, 2008 | | 12:42 am |
Miracle On Rt. 7
Today, like the good employee I am, I pulled all our Barbie books down from the shelf because the girl who wanted them would clearly not be able to reach. When I later returned to replace them, I found that somebody (a family member?) had put them all BACK! (No, it wasn't a fellow employee. I was the only one working the floor at the time. But if whoever it was wants to apply, I'd be more than happy to have them around...) | | Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | | 12:25 am |
It was a Fair experience.
I'm a baaaaaaaad boy... I was at the County Fair yesterday (which was well worth the $7 I paid for it, incidentally), when something in the "commercial" tent caught my eye... There was a local church with a booth, and they had a setup I'd seen before -- the barrel labeled "Look and see why Jesus died!" Now, I know all about that trick, and would certainly have ignored it anyway, except this guy with a booming voice (obviously from the church, though I don't know if he was the pastor or not) noticed I was reading the barrel and invited me to look. Well, it went like this: "Look and see why Jesus died, sir!" *looks in* "Jesus died for a mirror? Wow, that must be some special mirror!" "Jesus died for YOU, sir!" "Really? Gee, I'm sorry to hear that... I kinda wish he'd told me first, you know, I could've saved him the trouble! Too bad he's dead and all!" "Jesus is ALIVE!" "He IS??? Boy, is THAT a load off my mind!" (The kids behind us thought all this was very funny, even if the guy obviously didn't, as he just stopped and stared daggers at me. Whereupon I decided I'd had enough fun for one day. Too bad he didn't keep going, though, I bet I could've kept up with him for quite a while!) And as for the rest of the fair, well, even though the food wasn't great, I did find a booth selling "brown gravy and cheese fries". Sound familiar??? | | Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 | | 12:10 am |

Hello? Health Department?
"Ex-exterminator lost in Outback survives on bugs" Well, if the restaurant is so damn big that someone can get lost, it's no wonder there's bugs! They oughta just shut the place down! | | Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 | | 1:31 am |
The woman of my dreams? Of course not.
My Latest Online Dating Escapades: I discovered the profile of a nice lady who listed among her interests, "throwing food together". My heart jumped... then I realized what she really meant. Dammit. | | Saturday, June 7th, 2008 | | 11:23 pm |
Because I feel like doing one of these for the FIRST time in a while...
Who was your FIRST prom date? I didn't go to my prom. In fact, as I believe I have related here before, I accidentally locked myself out of the house on prom night, but I wasn't going anyway. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? Nope. What was your 1st alcoholic drink? Beer. Ironically, I don't even like beer. What was your FIRST job? Cashier at the deservedly no longer in existence Evans. What was your FIRST car? First that I regularly drove, a 1980 Chevette. First in my name, and first that I bought... would you believe I can't recall either? That's how much I care about cars. Who was the FIRST person to text you today? "Text"? What is "text"??? Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning? I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself, and/or embarrass her. Who was your FIRST grade teacher? Miss Webster. I'm certain that was not her real FIRST name. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? We were heading from Charleston, SC, to Albany, NY, but (as it turned out later, ironically) got snowbound overnight in... Washington, DC, of all places! Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? Not sure. First one I remember was named Michelle... Where was your FIRST sleep over? Again, not sure. It definitely wasn't at Michelle's. ;) Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? My best local friend Rob. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time? Mine! What was the FIRST thing you thought this morning? "Do I really wanna get up now? Maybe 15 minutes more." What was the FIRST concert you ever went to? This is embarrassing... Sandi Patti, 1986. (It was a church group.) FIRST tattoo or piercings Will never take place FIRST foreign country you went to? Canada FIRST movie you remember seeing in the theaters? Not sure which is the first I REMEMBER, but I'm told the first one I saw was "Pinocchio" (which I had to be dragged out of because I wouldn't stop screaming during the whale scene). When was your FIRST detention? Sixth grade, for pushing at the bus stop, and that was the only one. First state you lived in? Maine, but moved when I was too young to remember (16 months). First I remember: Rhode Island. Who was your FIRST roommate? Doug, Randy, and Tony. WHO WAS YOUR FIRST? My first... what? (Oh, THAT!!! Shannon, of course. And I'll never forget it. Redskins 33, Bengals 31...) Who do you think will be the next person to post this? Someone besides Joe, Lisa, or Kerri. :) | | Thursday, May 29th, 2008 | | 11:10 pm |

Don't make the same mistake twice. Make a different one.
So if you've wondered why I haven't been posting much, there's just not that much excitement in my life right now. To wit: While exiting the electronics section of a store this weekend, I somehow managed to trigger the alarm system. Of course this was quite a feat, as I was carrying no merchandise, no bag, no nothing. ("If I took something, I'd love to know where I've got it!") The poor clerk was just as baffled as I was at first... until we discovered the security tag stuck on the bottom of my shoe. Then after that fiasco, it was off to Taco Hell, er, Bell, where I discovered that the new 89-cent Cheesy Burrito is exactly the same as the formerly $2.19 Cheesy Beefy Melt. Nothing wrong with that, except that I discovered after majorly overordering. In this case, I won't complain though, the deal is too excellent. And that, folks, is why I haven't been posting much... These were the MOST MEMORABLE parts of my weekend! *sigh* |
