Do men have pee-cycles like women have their periods? WHY IS IT that EVERY TIME I got to the rest-room at the office, the same gentlemen are also in attendance? It’s like clock-work. It’s eerie. I noticed it at my last company and thought it a coincidence. But it happens where I am now, too.
I know you’re dying to comment.
I spent the majority of my night reconfirming that Tylenol PM indeed does not work on me anymore. And I was too scared to mix it with AmbienCR. (Wait, is this Aaron speaking…?) So I “slept” the whole night dry as a bone and stuck with a loop of Kylie’s “Wow” in my head. It goes,”the way you’re like…a river when you’re dancin…every part of you spells out desire”…or something. I could have the words wrong. The other part was “you’ve got it…you’re wow wow wow wowwww”.
I love the song but it won’t go away…and we all know this problem. We’ve all had it happen. At least it isn’t Beyonce’s “Ring The Alarm”. Sheesh, that was a rough three weeks….
To catch you up, the doctor prescribed me 600mg guafenisen to see if a pain in my upper right jaw (what he thinks might be inner ear congestion) wil go away. He also gave me AmbienCR for my sleep problems. The Ambien worked beautifully the first night. The second night…it worked but I went to bed too late and the weather changed, so when I woke up I was brick solid in my nose. Had to double up on the decongestant and stay home from work. I’m still kinda icky today but far be it from me to miss a Thursday at Science Club!!! I don’t think the decongestant is working either.
I’m not quite sure how many people actually read this here little tiny insignificant blog anymore…but if you do, you have seen my lack of ability to consistently focus on a single topic shine through a bit more in the past year or so. You have also seen the mood swings start to occur. Well I am here to tell you that after several months of personal observation, I have come to the conclusion that it’s time to talk to someone about it. Time to lay it all out there and make sure that I do not get put on an every-day pill, but an as needed one.
So apparently I agree more with Dennis Kucinich than I do Hillary Clinton. You can pretty decent test -here- to determine the same for you. My results were ultra close. And we all know that Kucinich won’t get anywhere close to running for President. So I feel more comfortable now supporting Hillary Clinton than I did before. That isn’t much of an improvement, mind you. I already think her to be the one-woman bad-ass cleanup crew this country needs.
Thursday night, I played at Science Club…and broke iTunes. When I say I broke iTunes, I say it proudly. You see…I managed to find its breaking point in what it’s willing to handle in its fragile XML library file. Apparently I’m lots of fun, but have a bit much to shove into a tight space…. *cough* After deleting said file, I was able to work with the blasted blank defaults. I have a love/hate relationship with that thing. But I still managed to somewhat salvage the night, making it home with some McDonalds. Then the dog ate my cheeseburger while I wasn’t looking. And then there was gas. God….
Friday, Boo’s mom and her bf came up from North Cakillacky to help us with some things in the house. Namely, the dreaded purge. What really ended up happening, though…is that I worked from home and nothing got done in the house until Saturday. They were late. But it was okay because I managed to accomplish some things at “the office” that I might not have, had I actually been on site. That evening we ended up ordering pizza and watching Michael Clayton. For the record, this was a good film but I do not understand why this movie got 7 Oscar Nominations.
Saturday was up at 8am and right to work. We filled the back deck with trash bags and boxes…representing crap from the past 12 or so years of our lives. We’ve lived in the house 3 years, but we both came from other places…other lives. So many things are gone now. I only wish I’d taken a picture of the deck before a friend of a neighbor offered to haul it all away for a hundred bucks. Coincidence? I think not. That was perfect timing, him showing up when he did.
That evening, I woke from a nap after having watched The Bourne Utimatum with a tremendous headache. It took all I had to attend dinner at the Beacon. Great movie. Great dinner. And then there was gas. GAWD was there gas.
Today I lazed about and we saw Beowulf. Great movie. Ripped-up the classic story a bit, but amazingly done. Amazing idea, the way they did it. Then I napped again and we watched Eastern Promises. I’m of course leaving out all of the time I spent playing Hellgate:London this afternoon. My Summoner is almost level 15. And just in time! Their first expansion just came out: The Stonehenge Chronicles. I think I can see it at level 20.
Such…a dork.
Oh and Mulva’s out of the hospital. She’ll be writing an article about her experience soon.
- Ass cold outside. Meaning that not even the hottest ass could counter the low temperature.
- Tragically hot guy on the subway. Meaning that trying anything would only end in tragedy because he’s too-good-to-be-true hot.
- Insanely casual outfit. Pushing the line of work-acceptability…something few can actually pull off. Anyone else who tried would be labeled insane.
- What’s up with The Washington Post and their quietly protesting workers? You can’t miss those signs in the subway. Brilliant marketing campaign.
- Will Metro come up with any better standard phrases for their staff to utter? I don’t know about anyone else but I’m looking for a little more variety. I miss my sex-line operator conductor…and my angry jaded lesbian conductor. They had originality.
- And finally I can’t wait to see The Dark Knight. Based on my readings, I am convinced that throwing himself into the role of Joker is what finally helped Heath Ledger to his death. I’m sad to say this but watch it be a knock-out performance. Love you, Heath. Rest well.
I’m not kidding.
Heath Ledger, actor in Brokeback Mountain and the upcoming Batman film, has been found dead.
Read it here.
I’m very….sad……..
When I was a boy, I was scared of being caled names. I suppose that (to a certain extent) I still am. One of those names stuck out as the one that nerds everywhere feared, as it was attached to a pretty odd and disturbing stigma. No nerd wanted this name wished on them or their worst enemy.
So it was amusing this morning when I saw this word as part of an advertisement on the subway today. I was even more amused that it was a hiring announcement that said “Now Hiring All Positions”…for a resort and convention center on the Potomac River. I asked myself if the Mid-Atantic Leather Convention might relocate there some day.
The company…the word…which led me to wondering who the hell would ever want to apply with a name like that…is Gaylord.
