Having a Mundane Pointless board is great, but I feel the absence of an ongoing MP thread, where you don’t have to create a new thread and a title for it every time you want to post something that just occurred to you.
So I’ll start:
I made peanut butter cookies. They turned out quite well, considering I forgot the vanilla.
It’s an interesting day out: dark clouds almost, but not quite, obscuring a blue sky.
I have a bruise on my foot. Wonder how that happened.

This is so cool. I went out this afternoon, and the sky was slate. I love that kind of weather. Now it’s raining, but when the rain started, the sun began burning through the clouds. It’s shining on me, but the rain is still pattering away.

There was a beautiful rainbow just outside my office window (I’m on the 17th floor) around 6 p.m. Then when I drove home, the snow on the mountains looked like powdered sugar. The snow level came down very low – I live at around 1200 feet and the snow wasn’t much above me.
I’m at work right now. I like having a job that allows me plenty of computer time.
Earlier today I was getting dressed, and saw an old pair of shorts from two summers ago crumpled up on my floor. Last summer, I was way too big to squeeze my behind into them. Today, they were tight, but I could fasten them all the way, and even bend over and move without too much discomfort. They’re two sizes smaller than the jeans I’m wearing right now, which I’ve noticed have gotten progressively looser over the winter, and now could be considered positively baggy. Since I don’t get on scales (I think it’s pointless to obsess over a number rather than how I look and feel in general), I’m now wondering about the ballpark number of pounds I’ve lost to get me down a size and a half. Hopefully, by the time the weather is warm enough for me to wear them, I’ll be able to fit into the shorts comfortably. Pretty soon, I’ll try to come up with some good before/after photos.

I’m trying to see things from your point of view, but I can’t get my head that far up my ass.
The song “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters was just going through my mind randomly for some reason when it popped up on the radio. I love when stuff like that happens!
last weekend i went bowling with my friends and my friend who wears lots of rings took all of them off but one. so when she threw the ball down the lane, the ring flew down the lane. so i said no big deal, i’ll go get it. but i’d better run down the lane because the bowling alley people will see me and get mad. so i started running down the lane, not realizing lanes are greased, and i fell and slid down the lane and hurt myself. so i picked up the ring and crawled back down the gutter. my other friend was in the bathroom when this happened and when she came back she had no idea why i was sliding down the bowling lane. the people who ran the place just pointed at me and laughed. let this be a lesson to you all: DON’T RUN DOWN A BOWLING LANE! it’s just not worth it. my friend then told me the ring cost her a buck. of all the stupid…

I just worked from Saturday evening 6 PM to Sunday morning 8 AM. Still, I am not quite ready for bed. Working such a crazy shift feels strange. I don’t know if I will be able to sleep well during daylight.
I’ve shared a birthday with a co-worker in the last couple of jobs I’ve had. This used to strike me as weird until I learned more about coincidence. Did you know that in a group as small as 23, the chances are roughly 50-50 that two people will share the same birthday?
Coincidences don’t impress me. Neither do people who relate coincedences to some kind of “transcendent force.”
Yeah, I know all about that “co-worker shared birthday” thing. The last place I worked, out of a staff of maybe 40, there were 3 shared birthdays, mine among them. They were all within 10 days of each other, too, at the end of August.
