I work in a place where we coined the abbreviation MMMIGTMYD (midget motorcycle man is going to molest you dance) about one of our coworkers. Said dance is like a combination of the lawnmower and the monkey if you were straddling a very wide motorcycle while dry-humping it. He did it at one of my female coworkers not long ago.

I weep inside.

Yeah, maybe I didn't word that journal in exactly the best way. It just kinda hit me all at once that three friends of mine are in pretty dire straits, and I thought maybe I'd been bitching a little too loudly about the situation I'm in. Either way, perspective is a good thing.

I often say I moved her from Florida to get out of the fucking heat. Today, it was 25 degrees hotter here than where I used to live in Florida. Oh bitter irony. I did remember from my years in these situations back home and Florida that the only way to deal with this kind of heat is to decide that it's not going to...

I suppose there are worse penchants to have!!
charley:
Same. It's so annoying, especially as I have the time to make an effort.

Well I might actually stop in Seattle too so I will wave a whole lot wink

Once in a while, once in a while I get wistful. Oddly for someone that can joke about having general contempt for humanity, I get wistful for people as much as places.

I don't know why, but I remember quirky little things. Like the odd little jog in the road on the way to Scott's house and the way it looked at a hurricane meandered...

Fickle wistfulness, I suffer from that too.

I hope you liked my naked Englishness!! X
mistersatan:
Ah, that's cool. Just my turn, I suppose.

I become ever more self-amused and continue to lean further and further toward Dada-esque ramblings and switchbacks in my discourse.

I find very little wrong with that.

I called the cops on a kid that was walking up and down the street with a bullhorn yesterday morning. Then, I shopped for really expensive shoes online. These two facts combined to give me a not-so-punk-rock feeling.

Then I found out that he was using the bullhorn to shill for his soccer team's car wash. That and the fact that I'd called in about...

It's only a tiny stretch to say that I'm a giant. I'm tall and broad and solid. That said, I'm also apparently some sort of ninja, as apparently no one can notice that they're backing into my path or can see me coming.

It's good that I use my powers for lazy instead of evil.

God help the world if you ever decide on evil. No, wait, God couldn't even help.
mistersatan:
Ahh, the power of lazy.

I've been living on stress, French downbeat techno, and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Two of these things are good; one is suboptimal. If you aren't able to distinguish, please stop reading.

Last Friday, my attempts to see Pirates after getting blasted on rum drinks at a Tiki-themed happy hour failed miserably. I left work early after spending fifty hours in the previous two and...

All in all, a good weekend.

Freakonomics is really, really good. I'll have to check out the other one, though.

Six years ago on a fifth of July Wednesday, I woke up early after spending my first night in Microsoft temporary housing. I showered and cleaned myself up. I dressed in a Billabong tee, some jean shorts, and a pair of flip-flops. Having no food in the new temporary digs, I decided to pick up breakfast on the way.

I was a year and a...

Literati indeed. You're one of the most compelling, um, bloggers on this entire goddamned website.

They're just so much more honest and simple than the rest of it all.

Today was a day of odd compliments. The deli guy at Whole Foods told me that I had patience to spare and not enough people had that these days. Someone else said that I was pretty natty for an engineer. The lady at the blood center said that I had great veins and tried to get me to donate platelets. One of my coworkers looked...

Going fast is great...You forget about everything and get saturated with simple information and react with basic instinct. It's rare I find something that completely occupies my mind.

Mmm, boys with nice veins totally get me hot. Though truthfully, if you want to split hairs, I'm more of an artery girl myself.

It never ceases to amaze me that people at the grocery store seem to regard the self-check line as some sort of alien artifact, even after six years. They either avoid it at all costs, preferring to wait in a line that looks like something you'd see in front of the newest rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Some Shitty Midwest City That I Don't Want...

When I went out last weekend, the lot we parked in had a new person-less electronic pay kiosk. There was a line about 40 people long, all standing around scratching their heads, clustering around the person in the front of the line and trying to be helpful. It was like the monkeys and the monolith; I wish I could have been there to see them evolve, but we'd used the kiosk right next to our car in the back of the lot with no problems.
