Bore, bored, boring... borest?

I wish we had flex-time here at the office. The kind of business I'm in tends to ebb-and-flow... which means I'm busier than snot some days and pleading for something to do on other days. I don't mind work, I just prefer that it be steady instead of non-existent. I'm sure the principals in the company also feel that way but they know that sometimes we're coasting down the hill and other days we're peddling like crazy. Just as long as the bike keeps moving.

Had kind of a weird night last night. After I got home from hanging out with L-girl, I watched a little TV. Between 8:00 and 8:30 I could barely keep my eyes open. I ended up getting into bed around 9:00. I then slept like a rock until 2:30am. Got up, watched some TV, checked e-mail, played on the computer a little... then returned to be around 4:30. I have no explanation for this. Not sure why my body was so out of sync but it was very strange watching TV that early in the morning -- there's absolutely nothing on!

I feel okay now, I thought I was going to be draggin' ass this morning. But it's almost noon (I'm getting very hungry) and my 'level of being awake' is pretty good. Usually I feel any sleep loss in my eyes but I seemed to have emerged unscathed.

Wow! Still no e-mail about anything remotely work-related. I guess I'll continue to surf the web until something happens.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Another Run

Well, after my last successful date, I figured we ought to try it again. In fact, at the first date I told her that it wasn’t up for debate – that we WOULD go out again. And we did. It was the Saturday following the first date. She had been out with a friend of hers on Friday night and they must have gotten a little wild with the drinks because she appeared to be “hurtin’” come date-night. I suggested a couple of places and we settled on a laid-back little place where we could just hang out and talk. Before we get to the date, I have to explain what I was doing beforehand. Superman had invited me to a corporate function of his wife’s work. It was given a renaissance theme. That was fine but the woman who was doing the announcements had a very screechy voice… AND she was amplified… AND she was yelling. We ate the obligatory hot dog and hamburger and generally made our presence known – then got the hell out of dodge. I think if it wasn’t for the screeching woman we would have stayed long...

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai...
