I’ve had a cold for what seems like a month. In reality, it’s only been a week but – as you know – I hate being sick. It’s just your run-of-the-mill cold which is the equivalent of a paper cut: it’s annoying, you can feel it, it doesn’t last long but you remember it hurting much longer than it did.
I seem to only write these on or near the weekends.
I’ve had some really weird dreams lately. I think it’s due to all the medicine I’m taking.
A-girl came into town and I missed going out with her because I was sick.
Now that I’m starting to feel better, I’m trying to catch up with Bachelorette #4 so that we can go out again. She called toward the end of last week and told me to just get better and that we weren’t canceling our second date.
Almost every day at work this guy comes to the office and sits in the chair of the woman who sits outside my office. The chair faces right into my office so I hear everything he’s saying. Generally, he’s a burly, manly kind of man and he talks to this woman about American Idol. He clearly does NOT look like your average AI fan.
Invariably, they’ll start talking about TV shows and movies and there’s always some actor whose name they can’t remember.
“He was in Top Gun with Tom Cruise and he also played one of the ‘Batman’ guys. What was his name? I think he was also in a western and played an Indian”.
“Val Kilmer!” I just want to scream “Val Kilmer!”
“I think it was Bruno Kirby, or something like that” he says.
If it’s not that, it’s something else. They sit outside my office and talk about what their children are up to.
“Sierra has soccer practice and Connor is in Boy Scouts. They happen at the same time so my wife and I take each of the kids to their thing. Then next week we swap places and go with the other kid”.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
I work with a number of Spanish-speaking people, that is to say: people whose primary language is Spanish. In order to ‘keep up’ with them, I’m trying to learn a few key words and phrases. So far, I’m up to the pleasantries involved in ‘Good Morning’ and a few other random words. It’s sort of funny to see that twinkle in their eye and the faint smile on their face when you respond in their language.
I’ve also been monitoring the amount of traffic that comes to this particular blog. It’s interesting to see what keywords people use to find my site. So far my entry about “Celtic Thunder” is fairly popular as well as my entry entitled “Ending with O”. I think the latter is due mostly to crossword clues – seems they’re trying to find countries around this globe that end in the letter O. Come to think of it, they’ll probably also come across this entry for the same reason. I actually thought about using widely known phrases that would be sure to attract certain searches:
“Britney Spears Naked”
“Free Software Downloads”
“Teen Porn”
“MySpace on YouTube”
“iPhone hack”
… you get the idea.
