\u2022 I woke up yesterday with a brand new grey hair. Funny thing is, I can probably pinpoint the exact moment it sprouted Thursday night. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Our office calendars use the Futurama credit-sequence font for the names of the months. This pleases me to an exceptional degree. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Speaking of calendars, I still don’t have one in the apartment for 2008. I’ve also decided that I need a datebook so I can write down appointments and meetings and stuff, which seem to be occurring with alarming frequency these days. Actually, I’ve decided I need a smartphone. I realize there’s a substantial price difference there, but I can get a pretty killer corporate discount on several different models of refurbished Blackberries. I’m just not sure that I should get a refurb. Anyone have any strong opinions on that?<\/p>\n
\u2022 It’s not raining right now. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Just kidding. Maybe we’ll see some sunshine this weekend. I suppose I could check the Weather Channel, but that would require more effort than a throwaway guess, and this is a blog, therefore that’s a big no-no. <\/p>\n
\u2022 I hate the phrase “big no-no.”<\/p>\n
\u2022 Yesterday I waited in line at Circle K with part of the WMC-TV crew, including a regular reporter whose name I should probably know but don’t (because I rarely watch the local news; sorry, but I’m usually working during it). I had hoped he was buying scandalous things so I could come gossip about TV reporters hopped up on No Doz and Red Bull and pork rinds, but I didn’t see what he bought so that idea was a bust.<\/p>\n
\u2022 My managing editor told me they held up my Martin Luther King special coverage front page on CNN yesterday morning. I didn’t see that either. <\/p>\n
\u2022 I dreamed in Pixar-like cartoon last night. It even involved a kitchen at a restaurant, but there were no rodents or French people. It was quite beautiful the way my brain rendered things (for example, a wax-paper bag of beans … wtf?) and it was almost as if I was kind of floating through the atmosphere, observing the goings-on of the kitchen without actually being a part of the story. Weird. I’ll try to collect the memory scraps and post about it over at NA<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u2022 The Tigers play tonight in hopes of making it to the championship. It’s weird living in a town where there is such vehement and loyal support for a college sports team that actually wins a lot<\/i>. Murfreesboro, it ain’t. Slowly but surely I’m beginning to understand Tigermania, and I don’t altogether disapprove.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2022 I woke up yesterday with a brand new grey hair.
