Crap.
NBC is causing me to procrastinate. I’m sure they’d love to hear that. Dateline had me glued to the couch and then even the blasted local news. Heaven help me, I have no time tonight to be sittin’ in front of the toob.
Um yeah. Sunday was Earth Day. Happy belated Earth Day. Didn’t go out with much of a bang at my house, since it was cleaning and washing day.
Saudi Arabia banned Pokemon?, At least that’s what Conan said. He said it was because of a conspiracy to overthrow some gov’t thing. I didn’t catch all of it but damn, NBC is even interferring with my blog. Double crap.
I felt kinda sick today, from the time I got off work until about an hour ago. I’m sure it was what I ate today. That and diet Coke. I used to drink about 3 cans a day for about 6 years. Since December I have only been drinking iced tea or milk with my meals. I drink one big 16 oz cup of coffee per day plus water all day. So yesterday and today, just because I had no iced tea available, I drank two cans of diet Coke. Two on Monday, two today. I have just endured the most awful abdominal pains tonight and I’m convinced it was the Coke. That shit will give anyone instant gas problems.
Plus my stomach felt like crap too. For lunch, I usually have soup from the deli in my building or I bring a salad from home. The soup was already gone by the time I got to the store so I settled for one of these. Don’t EVER fuckin’ eat the Santa Fe Rice & Beans dish w/vegetables. I about died today. I was sure it wasn’t an appendix problem, ’cause they say the pain is on a certain side of the body, whereas this was in the middle. Plus, appendicitis is accompanied by a fever. Or so I read somewhere. I have this big book of women’s health crap that I got from the Rosie O’Donnel website (for free) so I should double check on that.
Then I get downtown tonight after work and as I’m waiting for the bus, it starts to POUR. Just buckets. So I head for the bus station shelter and dig a book out from my bag and begin to read. The next thing you know, a whole pack of loud-ass thug types comes waltzing in to throw dice, smoke weed and holler at the tops of their lungs, about what in particular? Who knows. All I know is it pissed me off that people can’t even wait for a bus in a room and have it be at a certain level of quiet. This was a TOTAL invasion. And as for the weed, do that shit at home, like the rest of us! So I had to go stand outside and get soaked. That’s when the abdominal pains came shooting in, every few minutes or so. I was sooo ready to strangle someone. Then this complete jerkface guy comes up to me, out of NOWHERE, and starts chatting me up. I was just about to go postal at that point. I ain’t tryin’ to be sociable with no damn body at no damned bus stop. fuck. the icing on my friggin’ cake. Don’t even get me started on the idiot girl on the bus with her Range Rover-sized stroller and big mouth. I’m positive she was about 17 and she was telling her girlfriends about how her high school class was playing the stock market. “We were doing it online, and with real money!” She says, with enthusiasm. Well of course you were doing it with real money, you bimbo. I can see it now: Ameritrade is now accepting Monopoly Bucks!
ok…on to business
The most Bizarre record album covers of all time. Here you’ll find “…images of strange & beautiful vinyl record sleeves from all times & places.” Two thumbs up to the creative and original categorization! I love it.
Dot com laid-off workers turning to porn for cash
High tech-blessed geeks now succumb to working for online porn industry, getting paid to digitally cover nipples for porn site home pages and other fun stuff. The LA Times says “Hustler is looking to dispossess dot-com types to beef up its Internet enterprise, a “cash cow” that will be expanded from 60 to 75 employees in the next six months.” and Larry Flynt is expecting them “to play a big role because we’ll be looking for the highest quality people”. Ah, boys, it can’t get better than this. Go after your dream techie job and go home happy every night too. Light up a smoke.
and speaking of smoke…
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire
I’m surprised this wasn’t covered on my local news station on t.v.The Minnesota group of these kids were downtown St. Paul this morning, standing on the corner in front of the Radisson Inn, holding up their big ‘TM’ sign and hollering and going “Whoooo!”. Every time cars went by. All these kids were about 16 and white, and well, not very big or scary looking. I had a hunch they wouldn’t last very long, since they were standing right across the street from the area of town where thugs and other assorted creepy individuals tend to gather, to catch a bus or to smoke a roach or fight with ‘they baby daddy’ or generally cause a commotion. A few menacing-looking young urban fellows came by and blew smoke in their faces. It was sort of funny and I couldn’t stay and observe too long because my bus had pulled up.
The Dalai Lama to visit Twin Cities,
Or so I heard. The Tibetan community here is very excited. OK Tibetan people–you can stop shouting and clapping now!
*ahem*
Unruly’ sisters force plane to land
‘Unruly’ my ass! I saw the video of these two and uh, they appeared to be beyond incorrigable. Here’s an idea! Get drunk on a plane to China and start arguing with your sister, who is just as mean-tempered as you. Real smart. China’s what–like a 10-hour flight from CA, right? That plane had to turn around HALFWAY through the trip. I’d have been pissed. The news said the other passengers were somewhat compensated with a free night’s hotel stay and a ‘glacier tour’. If I was on the flight with these bitches, I would have demanded more than that. Say buhh bye to your big modeling career dreams, chickies. Dumb fucks.
