This and that

I think I have finally recuperated from my birthday bash. Superman and I spent most of last weekend recording some cover songs that we’ve been trying to get done for quite some time. Friday night we got a lot done but by nightfall on Saturday I was pretty wore out. We were up until the wee hours of the morning. I spent most of Sunday bleary-eyed.

The biggest problem I have at work is the ability to find a parking space. When I arrive in the morning, parking spaces are fairly plentiful where I want to park – near the door closest to my desk. God forbid you go to lunch because you will not have a spot when you come back. They have an ‘auxiliary’ parking area which is known as the “loser’s lot” and is a bit of a walk from the building. Today, when I got back from lunch, no spaces at the office… no spaces at the “loser’s lot”. What’s a boy to do? I ended up parking in the lot on the back end of a neighboring office building and making the hike back to the office.

I really dread election time. Oh, I’ll do my part and vote. The parts that get me
are all the election advertisements and the rhetoric associated with same. How many times do politicians need to learn that mud slinging is NOT the way to get elected? I don’t want to hear some pie-in-the-sky promises if you can’t fulfill them. All we need is someone to keep the ship righted and if you save me some money in the meantime – all the better. Don’t tell me something just to get yourself elected and then forget about me. I’m the one who got you elected and I’m the one who can throw your ass out! That being said, I’m not really politically minded. I mean, I follow the election just closely enough to make somewhat educated decisions about who to elect. As far as backing a particular candidate, I haven’t done that. I don’t think I could ever run for office. I heard the best way to get a free background check is to run for office. Unfortunately, I think that’s true.

I like iTunes but there is no ‘stop’ button

I like women but there seems to be no ‘go’ button

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...

Thanks, giving, and the weekend

Seems like anything that goes on in my life happens over the weekend. I had another date on Saturday. The one word to describe this woman is “wacky”. I think she was trying too hard to be light and funny but it almost bordered on the disturbing. This is sort of what she looked like. Her hair was a little curlier. We ended up having a lengthy talk about movies (no surprise, her favorite movie genre is ‘comedy’), which wouldn’t be bad, but I kept wanting to move on and she kept droning on about movies. I swear we talked about movies for half an hour – which is a LONG time to be talking about something on which neither participant agrees. Next came music. Okay, now I can talk about some music. Here again, we didn’t really agree but we didn’t discuss this for a very long time (something I was ready to do). I think it was pretty clear early on that we weren’t going to work out… there were too many lulls in the conversation. I don’t know about her, but I had to work hard to come up with topi...

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...
