Trivial things you've done this week no other dopers have

Um… about that. darts eyes suspiciously
I took and critiqued a total of 15 flyers from homes listed in the Glendale, AZ area.

I sang “You Oughta Know”, “Is There Life Out There” and “Time After Time” at a karaoke bar I’d never been to before.

I also took pictures of someone’s handiwork.

I meant it literally, but it’s my new favorite euphemism now. :smiley:

I looked up where to order 2 quarts of duck fat.

I also got to take a look at the front of Vito Corleone’s office desk in person.

It’s a new week.

I bet no one else took photos of a friend’s butt in a bar this week :stuck_out_tongue: I promised not to put those pics on my blog, but I did write about it.

Yesterday I cleaned a massive spiderweb out from between two windows. I drowned the spider with vinegar and water first and when it stopped thrashing around in its death throes I wiped it and its prey out of the window. Seriously squicked me out.

I wrote a story about a dog in a pirate costume. It’s on my blog if you’re interested. :slight_smile:

I’ve been throwing up all day.

Fed my psycho kitty hamburger meat.

did the septic truck lose its load and if it did…eweeeeeee.

I would like to state that we got a new kitty.

My mom rescued her at about 2 or 3 days from her neighborhood and she is now about 7 weeks old. She is a tabby and is possibly long haired, a bit hard to tell at this fuzz ball stage.

The little furball was driving my 80 year old mother bonkers ( she couldn’t get any painting done. Jeezus mom, it’s only 3 #.) and we took her off her hands.

This kitty is the best entertainment the kids have ever had. Except it attacks toes.
After two days of rather intense negotiations, she has been rechristened " Lilly"

You really should know better than to say something like that and not post pictures. We demand kitty pictures!

I taught a class on storage to a group of seriously unintersted women.

I taught a coworker how to mix paint.

I paid 5 weeks of rent for myself and someone else’s car insurance.

I bet I am the only doper that flew to Guam this week.

I finally finished memorizing pi to 1000 places. And this time, I’m going to focus on keeping what I have instead of pressing on, getting more, and then getting fed up with it. (I will not post any of it here :cue sighs of relief:)

Haah! Bet nobody else can say that, even given how geeky the Dope is!

Hmmm… I had a lot of these moments this week.

I had my now EX-boss throw a 12 pack of sodas at me when I told her I was quitting.

Walked out on my job.

But on the more pleasant side… I got MULTIPLE hugs from Ace Young of American Idol fame… and also had him demonstrate ‘muscle isolation’ and belly dancing-type moves to our little group. :smiley:

Shared a grape Tootsie Roll pop with my cat Charlie.

The story is derivative, yet interesting :slight_smile:
Don’t tell my friend, but I found a way to post the picture. Techically it’s not on my blog.

So far this is my favorite. Donuts and joints just naturally go together, don’t they? Kind of like Levi’s and the Pants Corral.

Trivial things I did this week:

  1. Started wearing eye makeup, really really heavy, put-on-with-a trowel, eye makeup

  2. Ate a pound of marinated grilled London Broil in one day

  3. Emailed my best friend three times in a row talking like a pirate

  4. Got a really nasty cat bite on my leg from Miss Fritters (I was brushing her and she got overstimulated and went temporarily nuts)

I bought a pair of $19.00 ebony knitting needles (size 5!), one of which was stepped on by my Jasper dog and broken less than 4 hours later. :frowning:

I started designing a lace scarf with hearts and pawprints on it. I may use it to strangle my Jasper dog.*

*Just kidding, mostly.

Your dog does not appreciate your knitting tastes or skills.

Yeah, he’s a rotten little beast. For some reason we still love him.
