IT’S A CONTEST!
Category: The Unexplainable | No Comments »

It’s Friday.

I’ve been chatting with coworkers about which parks to visit at Disney during MagicHour, how badly the Seahawks are gonna pummel the Steelers, and the radio biz.  It’s been fairly laid back.

I am also nursing a headache the size of Texas.  And I’m having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

So I’m gonna make this (as Kendra calls it) an interactive post.  SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless.. right, K?) thinks that “The Boy” is impersonal and cold.  This person worries that, one day, when The Boy grows up and looks back on it, he will feel unloved.  Since I can’t call the child by name, I am now accepting suggestions as to what I should call him.  It should be warm and inviting.  Like, you know, Nutmeg or something.

So.. what should we call him?

Apparently, FedEx is pretty honest about shipping to war-torn countries. Courtesy BoingBoing!

"Oh, Rocketdyne,

Oh, Rocketdyne..

I hope it’s you that gets

this message."

Keboobalah, sung on my answering machine.

(to be sung to the tune of "O Tannanbaum")

Oh, it’s been a week.  And hallelujah.. that means we’re counting down to a weekend.  I’ve really had a very good day.  I’m not sure that it’s really been overwhelmingly fantastic, but it certainly didn’t suck as bad as yesterday.  Which, you know, is heaps better. 

For lunch, I walked over to our cafeteria.  I wanted a wrap from our wrap stand. (Mainly because they’re cheap, but also because they’re low-carb.) So I said, "Can I have your wrap of the day, please?"  The lady looked at me and said they were out of turkey.  "Okaaaay," I concede, "But the wrap of the day is a BLT."  Again, she proceeds to inform me of their lack of turkey.  "I grasp that," I growl.  "Can you make a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato wrap?"  She asked why I wanted a tomato on it.  "Because the T stands for tomato, not turkey," I rumble.  She didn’t know, she said.  Don’t you have to take some sort of sandwich training?

Eventually, I got my BLT wrap.  And a Big Grab bag of Flamin’ Hot cheetos.  So I’m a pretty happy camper.  I’ve also got a Mounds bar waiting for me.  Sometimes, you know.. you feel like a nut.  Sometimes, you don’t.

I am so ready to sleep.  Which means.. I imagine.. next weekend is my weekend to shine.

I really have nothing of interest to say, other than I did speak to Steph this morning and she sounded good.  She’s pretty much invincible, so I imagine she’ll be running marathons before I can get my shoes tied (but I double-knot them).

Random update, because I’ve been writing this for almost half an hour now.. the most disgusting thing in the world is to sneeze with a mouth full of Mounds bar.  It’s just.. eww.

You may be grossed out now, but the next time you lust after a Mounds bar during allergy season, you’ll think of me.  Oh, you’ll think of me.
