[Talking trash to the garbage around you]I got the new Beck album today. I like it, but it makes me a little sad that I never learned how to dance. It’s not too late, is it? Tom DeLay is in deep shit and backpedaling like crazy, but I have to honestly say that I don’t think he ever meant for people to impeach or kill judges when he said all that crap about answering for…
[Fragments]The vending machine slipped and gave me two Butterfingers today. Score! +++My mom told me yesterday that she’s been approved for a student loan to go to Houston this summer and take an eight-day course to get certified as an independent legal nurse consultant. This would allow her to be a freelancer of sorts, able to be contracted by corporations, companies, individuals, etc., to give expert medical opinion. The pay is good and you work…
[It’s the hope for tomorrow]This video is much better than the version I posted yesterday. Probably not safe for work, unless you work at Sidelines. If you work there, turn it up as loud as you can. All right, I’m off to pick up my Alabama paperwork (finally) from H&R Block. I hope it’s gilded in antique gold, since it alone cost me $75. Grrr.
[We must carry on]Is this a joke? The artist is a former stuntman, by the way. It’s raining today. There’s no way I’m going outside. I got up when Phil left for work at 7, but then I made the fatal mistake of lying on the couch, covering up, and turning the TV down … real … low … But I got up in time to catch the second episode of the Cosby Show. I…
[Don’t scream]Ahhhhhh. The whole day off. Perfect weather. Ahhh. We lunched at a place called Huey’s, which serves its food in baskets. The ceiling is plugged full of those celophane-capped toothpicks that keep sandwiches together. There was a graffiti wall with all sorts of pleasant greetings on it. Lots of stuff about pimps. And “My Saturn can kick your Corvette’s butt.” That sort of thing. The place had a very casual fraternity sort of feel,…
[I need a prettier style for blockquotes]I think it’s nice that Charles and Camilla got married and I think she looked lovely and graceful and that he genuinely looked happy. Man, the princes are hot! Yowza! If you haven’t had a chance to see this year’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photos, do yourself a favor and do so. I was moved to slight, repressable tears at work. There are some harrowing things going on in the world…
[Saturday is for suckas] I just became eligible for my company’s 401K program! Another life milestone’s ass kicked! Too bad I am completely clueless about how to invest. Eh. I’ll figure it out. I’ve decided to move the Leslie-ometer and the Roach Ranker to beneath the archives. And Roach Ranker is now Roach Ratio, since it wouldn’t be fair to leave out all the other bugs and spiders I find. Shudder.
[Big-time ‘Boro]The Onion has a pretty funny story datelined in Murfreesboro. It’s even funnier that they repeatedly use the phrase “central Tennessee,” which no one in Middle Tennessee would ever actually use.
[Here’s to the small things]On this rainiest of Wednesdays, let us be thankful for:+ rent checks that don’t bounce+ learning that Googling yourself is no longer just an act of self-flattery; it’s a security precaution+ Nick Anderson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning cartooning+ Pepsi, when you get tired of Coke+ Drake Rogers and his gamy camper+ AARP commercials slamming Bush’s Social Security “reform”+ the Scene, which, by all accounts, exists on a higher plane than the Memphis alt…
[Although I do know a boy who was raised by squirrels]Comedy Central has lost much of my viewership since inundating the cablewaves with tributes to Jeff Foxworthy and the Blue Collar Comedy Clowns. But they might win back my love if they keep playing Kids in the Hall episodes around the time I get off work. So, since it’s late and I’m not sleepy enough to go to bed, I thought I’d post a list…
