This has been the quietest week I have had in a while. One person has commented regularly (and I enjoy the repartee, Girl), and my email’s inbox has been virtualy dead, what did I do? Was it the Super Bowl party? Huh? Last time I checked I hadn’t hurt any cute puppies, or knocked the cane from a blind man’s hand. Let me know, because the silence is unlike you all and it is killing me.
That Sucking Sound You Hear Is Netflix Trying To Get Me Back
I was once a Netflix customer and loved it. The problem I have is that I rarely sit down and watch a movie. It’s nothing for me to kill time with sports, mainly because it doesn’t require my complete attention and I can do something else while it is on. Movies, on the other hand, require attention, although I never remember them anyway so I don’t know why I care.
Stranger yet is that my job provides me all of the television known to man, yet I have a hankering to watch movies that I missed in the theater, are out on dvd, but have not hit the pay-per-view scene.
You Down With OCD? Yeah You Know Me
Last week I introduced a few of my quirks, and now I have some questions for you to ponder.
- Can you walk by a microwave that has some amount of time flashing (remaining from the previous user) and not reset it?
- When you pull up to a stop light do you look at the license plate of the car in front of you? Do you look to see if their tag has expired?
- If a table in your breakroom has crumbs on it (let’s say from a cake) which obviously have been there for some time, do you clean the table?
I am ‘off’, that I understand. But as long as I am the only victim of my quirks, or my quirks make this a better place to live, then I am ok with myself.
It’s Birthday Time Again!
One of my longest-term friends, Robin, has a birthday today! Happy Birthday and I hope life in New Mexico is treating you well.
Have to run, work beckons; and I had so much more today. Tune in again tomorrow, same Bat channel, same Bat time.
And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal…
Current Mood – tickled
Current Music – Sirius Satellite Radio, Channel 26 playing The Avalanches – “Frontier Psychiatrist”
Current Read – nothing currently
Cheers!
Paulie [eatl/ga]
Good morning Paulie!!! I think you’re beginning to learn I will always throw in my two cents worth, but I think with inflation it might be worth a couple of bucks at this point.
So here’s my first buck’s worth: Not EVEN going to comment on the sucking sound. Well, okay, at least not yet. Too early in the day and I haven’t had my morning quota of caffeine.
Another George: Though I have the same magnetic draw to reset a “stopped in time” microwave, I can honestly say I haven’t pondered whether a tag has expired or not. However, I do find myself looking at the county they are from and sometimes wondering where the hell Lowndes county is and why the “d” is silent. As for the crumbs, do you sweep them off into your hand or onto the floor? The difference is a sure sign of OCD. But you’re still “off” Wee Little Bit. Don’t worry, it’s a good thing 😉
Happy Birthday to your friend!
“Holy backwards quoting Batman”! It should be, “same bat time, same bat channel”.
hehe, you not only caught my batman error, you corrected it. Excellent!
Crumbs are swept into hand, unless a trash can is convenient then they are swept into it. In my world sweeping them on the floor only shifts the problem and there is never a broom around when I need it.
Were you aware that Georgia has the most counties in a state East of the Mississippi? Only Texas has more counties than Georgia.
The expired tag problem is an offshoot of my color change problem. When the year is young the new-year license-plate stickers catch my eye because they are out of the norm. When the year is old the old-year license-plate stickers catch my eye for the same reason in reverse.
Christ, I am starting to sound like Rain Man! 🙂
**deer in the headlights look** But at least I learned more useless trivia 😉
And, now I know you buy your boxer shorts from K-Mart. Heads up, it’s 10 minutes to Wapner.
(When playing the caped crusaders, I always had to be Robin – “Holy tight tights, Batman”)
K-Mart sucks!
Wednesday is fish sticks. Green lime jello for dessert.
I’m an excellent driver.
AnAnonymousGirl as Boy Wonder? Hmmm, my brain hurts just thinking of the plethora of responses….
Definitely. Definitely have to wear the tights.
One minute to Batman. Yes. One minute to Batman.
Meanwhile, back at the Batcave, Batman soon learns that his caped crusading sidekick is actually NOT the Boy Wonder, but BatGirl instead! Which explains a lot about why that “R” is so big 🙂
