Why I will never beWhy I will never be Martha Stewart by David. I tried to make simple fried eggs for dinner and failed miserably. I think it’s due to the pan not being hot enough, and well, using a bad pan. The eggs stuck to the pan, I couldn’t flip them, they all broke, and I made a big mess. fin. I received an order fromI received an order from Drugstore.com. I’m not sure which genius packaged the order, but the item I ordered was broken. The packing expert couldn’t make it fit in the box, so he or she simply bent the container, ruptured it, cracked it and shipped it. I just looked at the packaging slip and it says “your order was personally packed with care by NAGDY” (my emphasis.) After some googling, it turns out that Nagdy is an arab name. The terrorists have won. I’m all for supporting websitesI’m all for supporting websites that provide a useful service and are small companies. Like other people I know, I pay $5 a year for weather underground. Another site that I use a ton is dictionary.com. I use it many times a day, so when they came out with their premium service for like $12/year I went ahead and signed up even if I think it should be closer to $5. But whatever, they get rid of ads and pop ups. Well, one of the things you can do with the premium membership is to hear the pronunciation of words. This is actually useful for me since I’m not a native speaker so I do not always know how to correctly pronounce a certain word. Well, I found out that it also says things like “fuck” and “bullshit” so I spent a long time giggling like a little kid getting it to talk naughty to me.
Cingular Wireless called me. Hmmm.Cingular Wireless called me. Hmmm. Interesting because Cingular is not available in this area. I told it to the guy so he put me on hold for a long time. I waited because I thought it’d be fun. He finally comes back and says “you are right, we are not available in this area” and I’m like “yeah, that’s what I thought” and he continues with his sales pitch about whatever deal he can offer me so I’m like “Andy, I understand you are trying to sell me something. But I can’t get it in this area, so buying into that service would be kind of useless and pointless.” He paused and said “I … I guess you are right.” “OK, bye” “bye”
Best. Work out. Ever.Best. I went up on some weights, I finished faster than ever before, and I was not really tired afterwards. Even the few minutes of cardio before the weights went better than usual. A fit person is me! [sic]
Hmmmm. Peter Pan Peanut ButterHmmmm. Peter Pan Peanut Butter is much better than Jiff.
I was watching Sesame StreetI was watching Sesame Street one day and the kids were talking to a guy called “Mr. Noodle” I don’t really know that guy personally, but I don’t think I’d want my kid talking to a guy who goes by “Mr. Noodle”
Andy was being told thatAndy was being told that he needs to fly out to Toledo, OH in May and that he’ll be flying out of Wichita. I guess that he wanted to know if he’d be flying in one of those little propeller planes or a jet plane. So he asks “is it a real plane?” and this girl extended her arms and said “no, it’s make believe *bzzzzzzz*”
Ah, coming to work withAh, coming to work with a slight hang over. That’s always nice. I deleted some voicemails without even listening to them because of the annoying high pitch voices. |
