A return to Mundanity

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
21

Gotta switch to the missionary position. There’s good money in that. Or so I’m told.

The SD banner is blue on my home monitor, yet it is purple on my work monitor. Theories?

a) My home monitor is better;
b) My work monitor is better;
c) My eyesight is altered once I enter my office;
d) Evil bi-sexual dwarfs from Saturn have taken over my work computer;
e) Evil bi-sexual dwarfs from Saturn have taken over my home computer;
f) I need another beer.

Suggestions?

Definitely the beer.

I’m partial to Harp Lager, as fine an Irish beer as ever passed my lips! Has a nice nutty flavour!

My mundanity for the day:

Yay me! :slight_smile:

Flyp, you need a flow of maggotts? Where were you last night? I had plenty at my hospital. (they don’t have a smiley that vomits, do they?)

Flypsyde,
Try rolling your index finger towards your thumb to get maximium coverage while making a barre chord. That should get some of that finger-fat out of the way.

Wow… Dew… Congratulations!!!

Well, lets see…

I broke a shoelace this morning, and instead of changing it to a new one tied the two pieces together, the ultimate of laziness

Made a cheesecake

Have a fiersome case of pms and no chocolate in the house so I resorted to melting chocolate chips and putting them in my coffee.

Didn’t have time to get on the board after work today. Didn’t get here until about 9:30 pm. I’ve spent the last hour and a half trying to make sense of what happened here today. My head hurts, and so does my heart.

There were 2 plane crashes today, one off the coast of Kenya, one off the coast of California. Yipes.

And I bowled like crap. Sigh. I’m going to go hide my head under the covers. Okay, everybody go back to being happy. Don’t mind me.

-I’m trying Netscape for a few days. I loaded IE 5.0 from an Earthlink disc, and it sure has something screwy.The Netscape is outdated, but I like it.

Yesterday I went to the grocery store and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized that I had forgotten two 12 packs of pop and a wooden pallet of oranges behind at the store. I ran back up to the store real quick, but they had just closed. Today I just plain forgot about it until it was too late. Sigh…I guess I’m out $10 or so.

Tomorrow, I have to take my two oldest sons to the doctor to see if they need to be on Ritalin or not. Their school is fed up with their poor grades and bad attitudes and are threatening to expell them unless I get their ADD under control. Sigh…I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this.

But, on the bright side, I was driving across town this evening and got to see a rather beautiful sunset.

Oh, BTW, I’m supposed to be working right now but I decided that I needed a break for a few minutes.

Twice in a day I post in this thread: I spent my last dollar on a bottle of Mountain Dew. Then I got 60 cents from a friend by promising to hate some people I didn’t like anyway. I bought Reese’s peanut butter cups, which made up for having to get Mt. Dew when the Orange Soda was sold out. The Orange Soda is always sold out.

I really don’t know if I should be sharing this, but… I had a truly bizarre dream last night about getting molested by Satan. Yes, our Satan, not the Prince of Darkness. This is the first time that the SDMB or any of its members has figured into my somnolent visions. I don’t know what this means, other than that I need a break from the board. Good thing I haven’t seen much of Satan today, I’d have a hard time looking his text in the eye… Like I said, truly bizarre. Should I be worried?

Well, ever since I read Gr8kat’s sig for the first time (about 8-ironically-days ago), I have had this Deep Thought–If you ever drop your keys in a river of molten lava, just let 'em go, cuz man, they’re gone.–stuck in my head and it has since driven quite insane. Now as if that wasn’t enough, I have

Going through my head.
So I am goin nuckin futs, I hope it goes away soon.

Well, some of them.

Neuro . . . be afraid, be very afraid.

Mullinator - good thread.

Mundane :

I am tired of the ice and snow, 5 storms in 14 days is too much. I work in a field where I HAVE to be here. (In radio you don’t call in sick, you call and ask if you can call in sick.) We may reach the 50’s by friday, I sure hope we do.

I think I missed my traffic court date. I was busted running a red light at 2 :30 in the morning. Aside from the fact that no one was around, well - except for the cop behind me, I was completely sober . . . and “dammit officer IT WAS ORANGE !!”. What should I do about this ? Are they gonna come take me away ?

Heres hoping for many more “quiet, boring” threads, it was getting a little too exciting around here.

'Nuff said.

“Solos Dios basta” . . . but a little pizza won’t hurt.

Yes, that’s right folks, David B and I will be lazing about next Friday, blissfully away from our tax-subsidized jobs.
And just to rub it in, we’ve also got the 21st off, seeing as it’s Washington’s birthday. And we get Election Day off, too. Nyah.

Obviously, David B and Flypside don’t work in February.

I want to join Coldfire’s world for the day.

I must agree Vestal Blue.

CanadianSue, I have you beat. The boots I have on today have needed new laces for at least a year now. The boots are 9-hole and my laces barely make it through the first four sets - on both boots.

Shadowfox, if you’re interested, I have the number of a practitioner (Dr.) who deals with ADD with dietary concerns instead of drugs (or at least Before trying the drugs).

Neuro, I don’t know how to respond. And no cute quips to boot.

And for myself (besides having too much time to respond to everybody elses posts), it was quite nice to wake to snow on the ground today. I stood there at the window for a while with Miles, my 15-month old son, and enjoyed the peace of it. AND enjoyed his response. The last time it snowed here in Albuquerque, he was to small to remember. Great way to begin the week.

I got in a huge argument over whether or not “chi” exists. . . that’s the martial-arts internal power thingy. A lot of interesting points were raised on all sides.

And I found a new sig line. As soon as I find the next part of it I’ll add it on-- I know there’s another quote to it.
– Sylence

If a bird doesn’t sing, kill it.

  • Oda Nobunaga.
37

Another two quotes, as it turns out. Let’s see how this works.
– Sylence

If a bird doesn’t sing, kill it.

  • Oda Nobunaga.

If a bird doesn’t sing, I’ll make it to sing.

  • Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

If a bird doesn’t sing, I’ll wait until it sings.

  • Tokugawa Ieyasu
38

Too long. I’ll just go with the third.

If a bird doesn’t sing, I’ll wait until it sings.

It’s 3 AM and guess who just got called in to work? oh joy.

So Neuro, any more dreams?

As for my morning mundanity, I just wanted to share that I every light I came to was green today. 10 for 10. And yes, I consider this a pretty cool accomplishment, mainly because I have been trying to do this for a year.

Quick, raise your hand if you think I lead a pretty futile existence.

Oh boy, my first official case of sig line writer’s block.
