The Ace Meme, Part Two

Since I'm snowed in today and I didn't get a chance to finish the Ace Meme from Sunday Stealing, I thought I would do it today. It's been an extremely boring day playing video games, reading, and shoveling snow...

Cheers to all of us thieves!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I'm not sure if my blogging schedule will ever return to normal. I've started training at a new job. It's so gratifying to know that I will never have to set foot in that wretched place again where I spent Monday through Fridays over the last couple of years. Cheers!

It's August!

First of all, why the hell am I up this early on a Sunday? Secondly, it's August!!

On tap this month:

• Continue living the dream.
• Dave Matthews with my favey Kimmy on the 14th.
• Vegas for my dad's birthday on the 26th. I can't wait to see my bro, sister-in-law and J.

Total worthless post, right? I have to give a shout out to my readers, all two of you. Well maybe it's three now. I increased my page hits from June and I had my single biggest unique visitors day in July. Thanks for reading, whomever you all are...

Rain Delay

Gawd, it's been raining all freaking day! How depressing. I took a nap last night before going out and the next thing I know it's midnight. I dragged myself from the sofa to my bed and got up at 6:30 this morning. I don't even get up this early for work! I read some blogs, got ready for the day, and ran some errands, all in a lovely downpour. Apparently Express only has one pair of khaki pants in 31/32 in the entire metro area. I know, I had the man at the store call around. Had lunch alone. And now I think I need a nap, maybe the rain will go away soon...



My favorite song ever.

It is the distance that makes life a little hard
Two minds that once were close now so many miles a part
I will not falter though i'll hold on till your home
Safely back where you belong and see you how our love's grown



Another great one by ATB.

It's the little things that make you crazy
Like the flutter of someone touching your skin
I can see you everywhere I go

TGIF?

I have a love/hate relationship with Friday. On the one hand I love that it's the end of the work week. It's a good night to go out to eat and to hang out with friends, lately that's been with Dann, Mel, and the Captain playing pool (cheating motherfuckers). It's also a good night to go to the Park Club and terrorize everyone's favorite Asian bartender! On the other hand getting to five o'clock is a real struggle. I work with medical offices and a lot of them close their offices early on Friday if they're even open at all. This brings my already slow moving day to a screeching halt. Watching gnats fuck could be less boring on most days. I'm only writing this post right now because I have nothing better to do!

In honor of "Oh My God, Felicia, is it Five O'clock Yet?" Friday, here's a fun video I found over at The Queer Whisperer that will knock two minutes off of everyone's day that's in the same boat as me. I love toward the end when the AT-AT has to take a poopie...

Poker Face

Hard At Work

Bored.

Read all the blogs I follow and updated mine.

Read a couple chapters of a book.

Read every news article imaginable online.

Went outside and smoked several cigarettes.

Had a bowl of cereal.

Sent texts to friends who won't respond until much later in the day.

Here's some interesting links for you to enjoy if you're just as bored as I am today:

Donkey Kong's Last Supper

ZombieHarmony

Hot Chicks with Douchebags

Lamebook

I also spent a good amount of time today randomly going through blogs on Blogger. Holy shit there's a lot of mommy blogs and religious blogs!

Blogs don't float your boat? You can also hang out on Facebook all day. I just love reading status updates about every boring minute of one's day. I also love to know every thing you're doing in Mafia Wars, Farmville, etc. It's called sarcasm folk...

It's cool if you're doing something unusual like: "Just landed in China, it's raining, pictures to follow."

It's uncool to do the following: "Made PB&J for the kids!!! LOL :) ;) 8-)"

I don't even hardly bother with MySpace anymore.

Question. For those of you out there who have nothing to do at work, how do you pass the time?

Everything and Nothing

Restless. More so than normal. I can't bring my mind to focus on anything. Work is dead (so it goes [thanks Vonnegut]), I have done nothing today. I can't even concentrate to read my book, and for once the background noise around here is at a minimum. I think and think and think about everything and nothing. Total randomness:

I brought two personal file folders from home today, one to hold tax information and one to hold payment information for my court costs, fines, etc. The folders were given to me by my niece for Christmas, they say in large, bold lettering on the front: MORE CRAP and TOTAL CRAP. I wonder if they make moving boxes? Thanks Casey!

Gordon Ramsay is as masterful at swearing as he is at preparing food.

What to do tonight? Big Monday? Kansas and Missouri. I don't really care enough to watch the game in it's entirety. The house is relatively clean so doing anything other than the dishes is off the agenda most likely. Read. TV. Wii. Ho hum.

Thanks to my friends for taking me out Saturday night, I literally had three dollars in my wallet. I vaguely remember only parts of the last half of the night, thanks mostly to an empty stomach and Captain Morgan. I should have stayed home. Read. TV. Wii. Etc.

I totally rock at the 90's edition of Trivial Pursuit by the way.

My boss brought his daughter to work today because she has pink eye and can't go to school! Neato.

3:38PM. I'm finally able to do some reading between a couple work related tasks. Gasp, actual work. I'm reading "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis. The book is sick and teeters on the edge of pornography at time. I now understand the controversy. I'm about half way finished, I'll write about it more thoroughly when I'm done.

The last hour of work is the longest...

What's in a Name: The Revenge!

I was thinking about writing a top 10 list of my favorite posts of 2009 but I ultimately decided against it since I had just recently written a top 10 listing of my all time favorite posts for my 200th post extravaganza. While researching posts for 2009 I did come up with inspiration for another new post. The second post I made of last year was called "What's in a Name." Basically it's just a stupid list of all the funny nicknames everyone had at my last job. I found that while going through my phone that this is a pattern that expands beyond the work place.

Interesting nicknames I use to identify my friends in my cell phone:

Ana Banana: Yeah, it rhymes.
Ben The Popo: Not really a friend but he is a cop, hence the name.
Brownie: Last name Brown. He's also often referred to as "Shamey," something to do with a walk of shame somewhere. I can't imagine where...
Butters: I've referred to him in previous posts, he reminds my friends and I of Butters from South Park. This person also reminds me of Chris from Family Guy, not by how he looks but by some of the off-the-wall things he says.
B-b-barrett: How he speaks when intoxicated.
J-Ho: Not sure where this nickname came from, though she is a ho. Jenny will have to enlighten us.
Lindsay Lou Who: I guess she reminded someone of a girl from Whoville.
Satan: My old boss from Pearls . He really is pure evil but in a good way.
Zima: An old friend of mine who would get drunk (and sometimes sick) after drinking only one Zima when he first turned 21.

Screw This!

A low of 2 degrees on Saturday? Really? I'm already freezing my ass off at home in my drafty old house. Do they make electric Snuggies yet?

Saturday the 14th!

"It gets bad on Friday the 13th but it gets worse on Saturday the 14th!"



Funny. I actually remember this movie when it was released. I think my favorite part is the voice over, it reminds me of other voice over gems:

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat!
Live from New York, it's Saturday Night Live...

Happy Friday the 13th!

Anyone superstitious about this date or have superstitions in general?

Moving Fun

I helped Shimmy move Saturday (All. Day. Long.) and all I got was to wear the hat of his people! Where are the Oklahoma City rice patties again?

Fun With Signs

So while working today (browsing the Internet), I came across Says-It.com. It's a nifty little website where you can create your own funny photos and graphics. I chose the church sign maker option. Have fun with it kiddos and try not to offend god, Jeebus, the virgin Mary or the space aliens you're waiting on to take you off to the promised land!

Coming Soon

Happy October!

I love this time of year, specifically the month of October. The return of jacket weather, turning leaves and of course football season kicks into high gear. My October didn't start out very well this morning, however. I sat in court for four hours today waiting on my lawyer to show up. As the lunch hour approached I asked the D.A. present about my case. It turns out my lawyer had been there earlier and moved my next court date to December! Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting for him to return my call. Not only could I have been more productive (and less bored) at work, but I also could've saved four hours of vacation time! Grrrrr.

I'm not sure how much I'll be posting the next couple of days. I'm going to see Margaret Cho tonight with Dann. Shimmy should be there too so I'll take the opportunity to torment him a little. Tomorrow I'm headed to Tulsa with Kim to see the Dave Matthews Band and to hopefully hit Club Majestic after. Kim is a complete Dave Matthews roadie. The last time we went to a concert of his she dragged me through the tightly packed crowd in an attempt to get to the front row so she could throw herself or her panties on stage! Fun fun fun.

Kids

I have nothing much to say today so enjoy the disturbing video below by MGMT. One more hour of drooling at my desk and then I'm off to enjoy a refreshing adult beverage. Have a great weekend everyone!
