Rave on!

I went to a high-brow rave over the weekend. As you recall, A-girl is leaving the company... well, we had a little going away party for her. We went to this club that was just like you see on TV. It was a really nice restored theater with a (surprisingly) small dance floor. It had the lights and disco ball -- the whole deal. The women we were with seemed to want to buy drinks at the bar and take smoke breaks than dance. It's called a 'dance club' -- we need to hoof! The only saving grace was that they had 'dancers' on a stage struttin' their stuff. Picture something like "The Pussycat Dolls". Made the $10 cover charge almost worthwhile. I mean, the scenery was nice, don't get me wrong, but for that amount of money we should be dancin' (yeah).

Let's see... that was Saturday night, what else is happening.

I got woken up this morning by my cell phone going off. I hopped out of bed and ran to the phone. "My goodness", I'm thinking "it sure it especially cold this morning". Well my electricity was out, so the heat was off, and the phone call was my boss telling me I was late for work. I looked around at my blank clocks and told her my electricity was off. Jesus, I hate that feeling. Especially walking into work an hour and a half after everyone else is in the swing of the day.

I haven't been feeling especially well lately and the cold night of sleep helped to settle a cold into my head -- despite my best efforts. I'm still fighting it tooth and nail.

Think I'm going to take some medicine and head to bed. The only reason I'm fighting it is because I don't want to be awake at 4am with nothing to do. I'll try and hold off as long as I can.

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...

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...

Left Undone

Currently, there’s a meme traveling around Facebook entitled “25 Random Things About Me” where you list 25 things about yourself and send it to 25 friends. Then they send theirs to 25 friends (including you) and so on. I don’t plan on doing this myself because everything about me is random. Instead, I plan to explore 10 things about my life that I’ve never done. This is not to say I will never accomplish these things but, as yet, I have not done these things in my life to this point. I admit some of these are unbelievable – the fact that I haven’t done them but, to the best of my ability, are true. So, to this point I have never: Ridden in the back of a stretch limo – I have been to several weddings and funerals where one of these vehicles was present. I have looked in the back of a stretch limo but never ridden back there. At a party one time a limo was ordered and I thought to myself “this could be it” but it was basically a modified Lincoln Towne Car and would definitely not qualif...
