Randomly Friday

Thoughts for a Friday morning:

  • I’m glad to see that someone else gets incredibly horny when he’s sick. I thought I was the only one. Really…

  • So I’m sitting here on a Friday morning waiting for our new bed to be delivered. The old one’s in the hall, and I’m amazed at how broken-down and disgusting it looks. I shouldn’t be; its assorted protruding coils have been poking me for months now. This bed wasn’t exactly brand new when I got it from friends ten years ago. And it’s seen rather, ummm, intensive use since Thanksgving Day 1993. I guess I’ll miss it in some ways, but I’ll be glad to see it gone in even more ways…

  • Is it more frightening (a) that there is an “as seen on TV” store at Serramonte Mall in Daly City featuring everything from Ginsu knives to orange cleaner to salad shooters, or (b) that we bought something there last night?

Wow

OK, so it’s not really my kind of music, but you have to have a grudging repect for anyone who covers XTC, Joan Armatrading, Blondie, and Todd Rundgren on the SAME FRIGGIN’ ALBUM. Thanks to Duncan for pointing out this rather bizarre collection…

Randomly Monday

Random thoughts for the Monday after the Sunday after Thanksgiving:

  • I have the most wonderful husband in the world. I just wanted to mention that today since he’s been especially wonderful for putting up with me the past thirty days or so. I haven’t been particularly pleasant company, I fear…
  • That said, tomorrow marks one month, a hundred bucks saved, and — if the old cliché is true — five thousand extra minutes tacked on to the end of my life…
  • What a beautiful weekend, weather-wise. It was gray and soggy and chilly and generally wonderful. Pity it won’t last…
  • It sure would be nice if I could have those five thousand extra minutes NOW rather than when I’m old and senile. Oh well…

Randomly Sunday

 

Random thoughts for the Sunday after Thanksgiving:

  • I’m so proud. One of my sites has been featured in the Weekly World News, right there next to the two-headed alien devil spawn of Saddam Hussein and the incestuous homosexual conjoined twins of Burkina Faso…
  • Mark‘s back today and my four-day binge of geeky photo downloading (not the kind of photos you’re thinking: most of them were from here), manipulation of databases , unhealthy eating, and the occasional wank will come to a close. I missed you a bunch too, baby, but you’ll be glad to know I coped…
  • I actually read an article the USA Weekend this morning (because getting off the couch would have forced me to acknowlege the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink) and I had a thought: why is it that most annoying catchphrases become annoying mainly because they involve imagination-impaired middle-class white people (the target audience of the newspaper supplement in question) trying desperately to sound like they live in a UPN sitcom?
  • I’ve also determined that — depite being made in 1967 — Valley of the Dolls was actually the very first movie of the 1970s…

Swedish Package

I dunno. This just sort of tickled me…

Sort of like that announcement we heard at Safeway the other night: “Could someone please open the back door? We have a load.” The other fag on the canned vegetables aisle with us was amused too…

OK, so I have a one-track mind tonight…

Thanksgiving Prep

 

I love a boy who can cook…

What I hated (today) was sitting on the 12-Folsom for half an hour behind idiots who were trying to get on the Bay Bridge and who had decided that bringing their SUVs and Hummers to a dead stop right in the middle of each intersection, regardless of signal status or right of way, was the best way to accomplish this goal…

I’m sure I’ll find something else to hate on the way home tomorrow…

Ewww

You have GOT to be kidding. Mmmm. I’ll share a little of your earwax residue, listen to whatever crappy music you’re into, and we’ll change the world in the process…

Not bloody likely, it seems, but maybe I’m just anti-social…

Randomly Tuesday

Random one-liners for a Tuesday afternoon:

  • The exact Benjamin Franklin quote is “”Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
  • Now pop on over and see Becky’s celebration pictures…
  • Or my baby’s new site…
  • While you do this, I’ll be pondering what to do with the $57.40 I’ve saved in the past fifteen days by not smoking 287 cigarettes…
  • Or thinking about how nice it would be if we could stop testing drugs and other products on animals and start testing them on PETA members and other assorted animal rights terrorists instead…
  • Or maybe I’ll just go take out the trash…
