Post #2 for the day

My first post of the day didn't get posted because even I am sick and tired of hearing about corporate hijinx and what stupid thing the assholes have done or are doing lately. Complaining here has even lost it's restorative value so, sorry, for those of you who were looking forward to the Fuckchop Fuckup Du Jour, it's not going to happen here. You can just move along.

I did just get a very cool email from a guy I used to work with. He was the receptionist at my last job (the dot com that folded). He was also in school. He has since gotten out of school with his MBA, joined an executive training program at Texaco and moved to the Bay area. He's also grown his little club of like minded buddies here into a Think Tank that is actually making money. He's really an amazing guy and great fun. And... he's in town and we are 'doing' lunch tomorrow!

Netflix pulled a fast one on me today. They skipped over my #1 choice which is listed as available now. If it's so available, why didn't they send it? If it's not available why don't they change the listing? A nit for sure, but they've been so perfect for me this time. Those silly willys.

And now I'm nearly ready for Six Feet Under, the second season... hmmmmm Am I going to have to wait 2 years to find out what happens?????

Ok, one little teensy weensy whine

The newly married Twinkie just returned from her 3 week honeymoon. While I have not had any direct conversations with her, I have been able to get the full report - several times as various victims make the fatal error upon seeing her of saying 'oh, you're back! how was it?'

No, you will not get a full report. I'll not sully these pages but here's a little snippit:

Victim (edging away): Oh so you were in New York for the storm then?
Twinkie: Yes and it was so cold. My sweetie said he was going to have to buy me a fur coat if we ever moved there and of course all I heard was buy me a fur coat so he did and then I could go anywhere I wanted!

Why do I suddenly want to be a card carrying member of PETA?????

Outside of the Twinkies is there anyone more shallow???

I was outside just now and saw a guy walk by with a No Iraq War button on. My first thought was 'gee, can't they make a more attractive button than that???'



Wouldn't more people wear it if it wasn't so ugly?

The very very first internet purchase I made was a lapel button. I remember it was before IE and before Netscape 2, in other words, before you had colored backgrounds to webpages... Anyway, this guy had a webpage selling big old buttons that were white with the international 'no' circle with a slash and the words "OJ Free Zone". His website said 'send me a buck and I'll send you a button.' I put a dollar in an envelope and within a week I had my button. I've bought a few things more online since then but one does tend to remember one's first.

I have this jacket from the Salvation Army that has all kinds of buttons on it - I am a 60's child - and one of those is the OJ button. I don't wear it often but nowadays, when I do, most people don't get the OJ reference.

High Brow reading

Best quote in this week's issue of People Magazine:

Says the new bride: "Next time I get married, I'm not going to do it on TV."

You go, girlfriend! (I know my tongue could not form those words but they were actually hard to type! - I'm not too much of a snob to pay for an anual subscription to People Magazine but can't get down with the jive... With self inspection like that, how dare you call me shallow!)

I couldn't stop myself

I saw the final two episodes of year one of Six Feet Under. Please, please don't make me wait two more years for the next one!
