How I Knew

I know I’ve alternated between having my sights firmly fixed on my naval, and/or just gone all out and had my head up my bum for some time.  A Lot of Crap™ has snuck up on on me.   I have been shocked.   I have been startled.   I have been overcome.

But seriously, how did I not know?   How did I miss this?   How did I NOT SEE THIS COMING??????

I mean, I pretty much live for this geeky kind of shit.  How did I not hear about a live action version of Speed Racer coming to a theater near me until just yesterday?

There’s only one explanation.    There’s only way this could ever possibly happen (aside from the afore mentioned self-involvement brought on by terrible loss, grief, stress, and loneliness).    The only way this could be is that my NerdNetwork™ has let me down.

I’m looking at you, Mr. My-Mom-Reads-Your-Blog!!!!!    (Hi Mom!)

This is how I knew it had all gone too far, and I need to snap the hell out of it.

Did Somebody Say “Junk Food”

My revolution will in fact be fueled by Del Taco.

Del on my Desk

I am not messing around.   I am not playing with you.   And yes, I got fries with that.   I  love the fact that at Del Taco, you can get burritos and French fries.   All at once.  In the same bag.  One stop shopping.   And they’re crinkle cut.

You can try to tell me that you’re not jealous, but I won’t believe you.

Conference Calls = EVIL

All conference calls are evil, especially conference calls with WebEx.   All meetings are evil.  That’s just the way it is.

But you know what’s worse, when you’re starving and you’re in some stupid meeting or on some conference call.   Like I am right now.  I am ravenously hungry, and I want a burrito.

Of course, I mention this via IM to my Alli, who’s also on the call, and she starts sending me links to stuff like this:

Guac

Not cool, ALLI!!!!!!  Now I’m twice as hungry.   I’m mad with lust for this guacamole.

I’m about to start crying.

My Boys

The Giants did it again last night, taking game one in a three game series from the Arizona Diamondbacks.  The D-Backs are tied with St. Louis, who the Giants beat on Sunday, for the best record in baseball right now.    This makes my heart sing.    The Giants have won five out of their last seven, and have moved out of last place in the west division.   Who’s in last now?   The Dodgers.   Oh yeah!   That’s freaking sexy.

I came to the conclusion last night that my neighbors are going to hate me.   I was getting really into the game, and I was clapping, maybe even hooting a little, and I thought, I wonder what this sounds like to them?   I’ve had other neighbors before, though, and no one ever said anything before, so hopefully they won’t have any issues with my noisy fanaticism.

Have I mentioned that I love baseball?

Quote of the Day (Actually Quote of Yesterday)

One of the cast members in Cinderella said,

Wow!  You actually look like a girl!

Gee, thanks.   I was headed to a barbecue after the matinee.  I’d changed into something a little more flowery and flow-y than the standard black on black that we wear backstage to keep from being seen.  Gotta love it.

Not So Much Today

I didn’t throw the blinds open this morning.   I did crack them a little, though.  I guess I’m just not feeling as empowered this morning.  I had unsettling dreams about someone I’ve been missing, so I woke up feeling lonely.   I’m so tired of being lonely.

Also, I don’t want anyone looking in and seeing the mad scientist hairdo I woke up with today.

Throw Open the Shutters

Normally I’m not much of a open blinds kind of girl.  For one thing, my apartment is right at street level, and my windows are only a few feet from the sidewalk.    With my front window open, anyone walking by can look straight in.   I’m afraid they’ll see my soul.   (hehehehe – I kill me.)   Point being, I don’t usually have the blinds open, because I don’t really want the world looking in at me, and my fifty pairs of shoes scattered throughout the place and the piles of laundry on the window seat that I haven’t put away.  I’m also not much of a morning person, so I want to stay in bed in the dark as long as possible.

This morning, I’m feeling a little different, though.  I don’t really know why, but right after I got up, I felt like opening the windows.  And not just the back window by the kitchen, which has the blinds up the most.   I pulled the blinds up on every single window I got.  And I even opened the windows above the computer as I’m sitting here.

I don’t know what’s gotten into me.   Maybe it’s because I woke up, and my allergies seem to have abated in the night.  Maybe it’s because I got to hang out with the Monkey kids a little bit last night after Cinderella.  Maybe it’s because I told Baby Brother about my latest harebrained idea, and he thought it was pretty cool.  Or maybe it’s because I got to let out some of the yell I have in me last night (more on that later).

Any which way that it is, let the sun shine in, and let ’em look if they’re walking by and want to be nosy.  I’ve got nothing to hide, and nothing to hide from.

Fuck it all.

Just sayin’.
