I know that I don’t have anything worth blogging, but I also know that people addicted to my blog will lose interest with it if I don’t keep my posts current. And since I’ve estimated that Chris Rodkey has at least 70 members (plus countless of non-members that don’t know why but just can’t stay away) on his photo journal action, I figure that anything is possible. For all my readers, these are the issues bothering me today:
- I simply can’t handle it when people attempt to replicate a big kiss by typing “muah” or any such variation. And no, this does not mean that I want everybody ending every comment and email to me with that (pay attention Jeremy and Tracey).
- I read in Newsweek today that Myspace.com is something like the 5th highest web site when it comes to visitors or something like that. Okay, I screwed that up, but the point is that a hell of a lot of people go to it. Why don’t people see it for the crap that it is? It’s a good idea gone terribly wrong by throngs of creepy people.
I’d like to warn all of my loyal JDCQOTD follows that this next week I am planning on sitting down for some quality time with Season 5. Brush up or get left behind.
I’m noticing that Craig is over at his desk chuckling and coding. Everybody might want to check out his site to see what it is that he’s up to. He’s laughing harder now. Really people…it’s got to be some sort of breakthrough in PHP. Go now.
..my Gazelle finally arrived. The boy took it upon himself to stay home this afternoon so he’d be there when the UPS man showed. The result is this ubersporty picture for everyone’s enjoyment
Yes, that is yours truly 75 minutes and 2 episodes of Dawson’s Creek into my Gazelle time. Keep in mind that I haven’t been active for 75 straight minutes…well…ever, so I’ll likely be unable to move from bed tomorrow. Go Gazelle!
JDCQOTD: (from an episode I watched today) “Alright, Becker!”
Upon graduating, I began realizing that, although I have lived in Missoula for 4 years, I have managed to avoid doing anything Missoulian (with the exception of joining MontPIRG my first week here when they passed around those little cards in class and I did what everybody else did, not knowing any better). Specifically, I have never
1. hiked to the M (Something Missoula just won’t forgive me for)
2. stopped shaving
3. played folf
4. worn politically/environmentally themed clothing
5. joined the way to go club (if only for the free nalgene)
6. gone barefoot in public
7. tried a slack line
Many of these things I still refuse to do. However, as a warm up for my Missoulian Week (to come sometime…maybe), I am rolling my pant legs half way up to my knees for the afternoon. This is something I specifically remember making fun of a certain classmate of mine for doing in high school. I feel ridiculous, so I know I’m doing it right. Off to work!
JDCQOTD: “I can’t remember when I felt this depressed. Oh yeah. Ten minutes ago.”
I know I made a big point about how Rubik’s cubes are impossible and anybody that claims otherwise is a liar. Unfortunately I must take all of this back. I offer the following picture as evidence why:
Yes, it’s true, I solved that cube myself (with a little help from Tracey). It is on display in my apartment if anybody would like to see it first-hand.
It seems the public is excited to see my attempt gazelling. Unfortunately, Target.com informs me that I should not expect my package for at least another 11 days. Boo to that! We must be patient, my friends.
..just wait until you see me on the Gazelle. Yes, that’s right. I have purchased the Tony Little Gazelle (as you’ve seen on the t.v. infomercials and the Wayne Brady show). It will ship in 5 - 7 days, after which time you will be able to find me in my living room, gazelling to Dawson’s Creek. 45 minutes will never go by so quickly. You don’t even have to ask, I will be posting pictures for everybody’s enjoyment.
Julie and Jeremy were so kind as to leave us with their most prized possessions - two stainless steel garbage cans. They were hardly out of the time zone before this happened:
I’m shaking my fist at you two.
Today I am quite enjoying:
1. The Jeremy’s job offer! I believe Julie expressed it best with “WOO!!!”. I think perhaps I will celebrate it with Honey Teriyaki - and lots of it.
2. My plan for a new body wash…I’ll give more details when the formula is perfected and officially credited to me.
And here’s a few more things I find unsettling:
1. People that solve Rubik’s cubes - Have you ever looked at those Rubik’s cube solving “tutorials”? If you haven’t, here’s how they all pretty much go:
Step 1: Solve 5 sides of the Rubik’s cube. This should be quite simple, even for a beginner cuber. If you are pitiful and need further assistance, click here. (Clicking there will take you to a site with a java applet that will do nothing more than crash your computer)
Step 2: Solve for the final side.
Thanks a lot, you p.o.s.
2. Forwards with “cute” animal pictures and inspirational phrases - I would like it if there was some sort of filter that could scan your incoming emails for such annoyances and send them to a grandma… or a 10 year old girl…or anybody besides me. Perhaps this could be Lime Peak’s next project.
Today, I am troubled by a number of things:
1. American Idols on Family Fued - Really people, what is this all about? In case you missed it, here are selections from the past few days’ transcripts:
The Guy Formerly Known As Al Borland: What is something that is supposed to have holes in it?
*ding*
Girl Whose Name America Forgot Already: Shoes!!!
Viewer: (slaps own head)
TGFKAAB: Let me see shoes! (points to board)
Board: X *buzz*
Viewer: No shit
(a few questions later)
TGFKAAB: Name one word someone might say to after your performance.
Guy Whose Name America Forgot Already: I love you!
etc.
And what is up with that girl that looks like the dark haired one on Scooby Doo? I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen her on TRL.
2. Rubik’s Cube - It’s impossible. Anybody that says otherwise lies.
3. Nair Wax - Great wax, but how come the only thing that takes it off your skin is whatever is on those towlettes that come with the wax? And how come they give you a couple huge ones when really what you need is a bunch of little ones? A couple huge ones means soon I’m going to have to let the waxed skin rot off me.
4. Gwen Stefani - Wow. I just can’t handle her. No words….
Since I’ve been in quite a good mood lately, I feel I should throw in some things that I am quite enjoying today so I don’t seem negative and such.
1. The Craig - It’s my new favorite sandwich. I’m sorry, Club. (At his request, I will specify that this is, in fact, a food…remove mind from gutter)
2. The guys at work have been colder lately. They’ve even been turning up the heat. Yay! I don’t think I’ve had to wear my winter coat in all week. Really, that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
3. Instant hand sanitizer - If it’s possible to become resistant to its powers from over-use, I’m sure I’ve done it.
4. Soda!
I realized today that, aside from this past month+, I haven’t lived with a male since I was 15. What brought this to my attention, exactly? For starters, I had to use 3 remote controls to turn on the television. Lord help me, I’m living with a boy.
