I was sitting on the couch this evening with my wife, M.F., and one of our cats, Fishfork, and fiddling with M.F.'s laptop while they watched a movie. I don't normally take much interest in the DSM IV, but I happened to take this Personality Disorder Test and actually thought most of my results were pretty accurate. However, I thought the result for Obsessive Compulsive...

Last Sunday, before I went to work, M.F., my wife, and I were having a desultory conversation, while dispiritedly choking down a tasteless fastfood meal at McDonalds, about how we really don't know many interesting people here or have many interesting experiences. Most of the people we know are people we work with, and they're mostly sticks in the mud.
So, later that day, while...

Thanks for responding positively to my "Wanna be friends?" request.

yeah, but he's the only one i've got... 
I'm afeared that my wife, M.F., must be dying from some horrible, unknown disease, such as you might only see on one of the later episodes of "Little House on the Prairie"! 
You see, today, after a long day at work (I had to work on a Sunday, and she came in with me to finish some work and get some of her classwork done),...

Aww, I hate it when I do something hilarious, and the other person doesn't laugh. (It happens to me on a daily basis.) 
I must be the only only one who finds me funny. Fuck 'em.
Thanks for welcoming me back!

Yesterday was my wife, M.F.'s, birthday. She's 50 years old! Can you believe it? FIFTY!!!! **
As is usual for someone of her advanced age, she noticed several signs that she is getting up there. For example, when she went to renew her license, she put down the following:
EYES: Brown HAIR: Green
I don't know...she has red hair, so maybe it was a "senior...

I came home a little early today, and my cats, Fishfork 
and Birdcup , were watching the Weather Channel instead of one of their usual favorites. As I plopped down on the couch, the following exchange ensued:
Birdcup: Look at these weather jackasses. How do they sleep at night? It's not like they ever get the weather right?"
Fishfork: Oh, please, DO...

Uh oh... have ...spasm... in.... arm... must lift it straight out and to the left at a slightly-above-ninety degree angle! Ahhhh there we go... cramp's gone.

poke one of those blowhards with a toothpick and let me know how that turns out.
Last evening, I fielded two pesty calls for my wife, M.F., from our public relations librarian, Yappy McGlad-Hander. Both times that she called, I was peddling away on our exercise bike (post-holidays, I'm more of a FatDavid9.5, so I've been trying to shed some heft).
The first time that she called, I was just two minutes into my ride, and I would have stopped and...

let's hope it works. or then i would have to start the bribery cookie baking
and thank you
and thank you
Apologies all around. Still I am sans computer. I was going to purchase a new computer, but somehow instead I bought a new house. Hence, no journal updates for a bit.
I'm afraid that I don't have any funny stories from Christmas. The MausFrau and I had to zip through the relatives' and get back to sign papers, so there wasn't as much opportunity for...

Nah, I have to give up all the snacks too. Need to lose wieght. Now I am sexless and snackless. I don't know which is worse.

i love anise! (cookies) and i love calling them anus cookies. that butt sex (backdoor) sign rocks! haa. i theme to this comment i see.
Apologies all around, once again, as I am still sans computer and must mooch off M.F. and her laptop, hence the dearth of journal updates. In order to tide us all over, let's have just a short anecdote before M.F.'s battery runs down:
A few weekends ago, a junior colleague, J.C., invited the MausFrau and me, our friend and colleague Mayday, her dour husband, and...

This means thank you in sign language. Thank you for the birthday wishes. And it kind of looks like he's trying not to puke, too.

This has been a really long time since journal updates. Do you stop by anymore?
Well, I am still without a computer (those with an interest are invited to see the previous journal entry and note the repetition of the words "computer", "vicious", and "kicking"), so today's entry comes to you via the generousity of the MausFrau and her Apple laptop. It therefore seems fitting that the entry be about the mighty M.F. and one of her many malaprops.

Woops! Double-entry, folks. Nothing to see here. Move along.
anywho, i changed the form of the earl grey poem into i prose poem because i didn't really like any of the line breaks. the class really liked it (form and all) as did my prof. (the images and such but not the form) and on a paper she returned she said she thinks i have real promise as a writer, that she likes my "narrative voice" and style, and that she thinks i should persue a writing career...
did i ever mention that my depression distorts my sense of reality? because it does. sometimes it does a lot.
anywho, here's my score for that test. i think the results are pretty accurate....
