“Resurrection Sunday” used to be what they called the Sunday morning show on 106.5 out of Charlotte. The Wizard would play 80s music from 8 to noon. They changed the name of it, but I still call it by the original name.
It’s sad that I still know the names of all the DJs on 106.5 and I haven’t lived in the Charlotte area in over ten years. Guess which radio station I listened to all the time in the 90’s and early 00’s.
I was going to do stuff today, but since I’ve been so productive lately I’m giving myself a day off. The Neverending Teal Blanket is being remade with a size N hook which, for those of you non-yarny people, is about the size of Fisher Price’s My First Crochet Hook. The NTB may come out to a reasonable adult size now.
I think some April Fool’s Day jokes are amusing. I don’t like jokes at the expense of other people or pranks that hurt people. But for example, a few years ago Google had “drunk e-mailing” - if you tried to e-mail at, like 4 am, it would give you math problems to solve to make sure you were sober. Things like that are amusing.
Huh. I just got accepted to a show that’s pretty competitive. I didn’t expect that I would and so I am also doing one of my favorite shows that same day. Fortunately they are only about 15 minutes away from each other and the show hours vary. So, I should be able to appear at both shows for awhile and my parents can help too. I’m just really pleasantly surprised.
Pranks I’ve enjoyed (hearing about, as I was not involved):
brother and coworker constantly find ways to sneak a copies of a 2003 page-a-day calendar into each other’s stuff. Extra points if it turns up on a business trip.
Mom purchased a life size cardboard cut out of Fabio (this was a while ago) in a swimsuit which she would put in her coworker’s office, in the corner, where coworker could see it from the corner of her eye. One split-second of panic followed by “errrrr . . . ew?”.
FOAF spent the weekend wrapping every item in a coworker’s cubicle in aluminum foil.
Coworker “borrowed” another’s ergonomic keyboard and mouse. Made excellent copies of them on the new high end Xerox, cut those out, and put them in place of the actual items on the desk. Worked all the way up until the prankee tried to type his password.
At a long ago job, I used to keep a menagerie of action figures and related items on my desk. Every now and then, I’d come in to find coalitions had formed, and battles were underway. Once, Princess Leia (Bespin outfit) and Captain America were getting it on on top of the miniature pool table. Another time, my Birthday Bear (care bear) vanished. I checked the other desks for it, and found it trussed up in rubber bands, dangling from a “web” made of linked paperclips, where a coworker’s plastic octopus had been placed like a spider. Kind of creepy that one.
I’ve been busy in my studio - a little bit of cleaning, a little bit of pot-throwing, a little bit of finishing a couple of pieces, and a little bit of underglazing. I may go back down again in a bit and underglaze a little more. I’d like to get all the glazing done this week so I can run the kiln again next weekend. We shall see…
My problem isn’t waking up. It’s staying up. I installed an app on my phone where I have to move it away from the wifi to turn it off (or towards it, but pretty much everywhere in my apartment gets the same signal - it was tough finding a place where it would work.)
What happens next? I drop back into bed and sleep for another hour. The alarm clock I need is someone to stop me from staying in bed.
There’s a new app that has a picture of something. when the alarm sounds, you have to go take a matching picture before it will stop. So, take the first picture of something that requires you to get dressed, put on shoes and go outside. That should get your day going.
Ejector-bed. Alarm goes off, you go flying across the room. I need some people to help me with designs and prototypes and then I’ll be rich. Rich, I tell you, rich! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Speaking of getting dressed, I have yet to do that. I’m still kicking around in my robe. I suppose I should at least put a shirt on or something. goes to do that
Was going to get up bright and early and have a busy day today, but horrendously overslept, and didn’t get out of bed til about 1. I blame the horrid grey weather.
Out local supermarket doesn’t have any cheap easter chocolate- they must have cleared it all out yesterday, 'cos there was loads of choccy eggs left on firday…
My sole pranking today has been hiding a copy of ‘Twilight’ under my housemate’s pillow. It’s not much of a joke, but it amuses me.
Last day of a four day weekend for me. Cat Wife was mildly peeved, wondering what’s so special about today that we get it off. I just shrugged and said ‘so it is written, so it shall be done’ Then dodged a pillow.
Howdy all,
Lovely day here in Houston will get to the low 80’s today, that’s the high 20’s for you centigrade folks, yep it’s shorts weather. I shall work on the Motorcycle today, oil change, head bolt tightening and fiddle with the timing chain tensioner. I think a good long ride is in order as well. Have a busy week ahead so today is me time.
I think I have a video of what Jim is talkin’ about. He’s all in leather workin’ on his hawg and a friend comes over to ummm… “help” him. At one point both of 'em do go for a “ride.”
