Quick bites
The other day, I used my powers for good (or is it evil? hmmmm?) by tracking down Lucy’s work address to send her flowers in Atlanta. As it turns out, she might never have gotten them if there hadn’t been a fire alarm, forcing her outside where her cell works …
I’ve been trying some new things for my “diet” (as in the way I eat, not specifically calorie restriction). I’ve been rather enjoying V8’s V-Fusion, which hides vegetables in fruit. That’s for me! Especially the strawberry-banana, though the wildberry was tolerable.
I had that, my multivitamins and a banana on my way to work, today and yesterday. I’ve also brought these really cool cups of fruit with oats you combine, very tasty and a 100-calorie-pack of chocolate dusted almonds. I could care less about the calorie number, but not having to baggie up snacks saves me time in the morning. Finally, I had chicken ramen for lunch yesterday, which is kind of a big deal – I brought in my water heater and actually had lunch instead of skipping or stopping at wendy’s. I also have a mocha Rockstar, but that’s because of another issue.
I seem to be in the worst extended bout of insomnia I’ve had in a long time. It makes me really look forward to living with Lucy because, while I’m not guaranteed to get to sleep, I can at least head to bed at a reasonable hour because she is quite ready to get to bed by midnight. I’d like to not be up at 3 am or later, trying to figure out how I’m going to survive the day, please. I just get a lot less done, especially after work, when I don’t get enough sleep.
The wedding playlist is coming along well! Thanks for your suggestions, m’friends, and keep them coming! PS If you thought my playlist was strangely heavy on weezer, blame YouTube for not making the playlist obvious once you’re in it – it’s on the right side, and if you want to skip through it, click the items or hit “play next”, or wait until the next song starts. So there!
I believe my evening is going to be spent grillin’ some food with a few fine folks and visiting Royal Oak on some sort of Journey For Popcorn. So, I have that going for me.
hey! that link works WAY better than the one yesterday :D
You’re missing “The Chicken Dance” song, and “Electric Slide”. I think there’s a state/local/federal law that you’re in violation of if you don’t have those on your wedding playlist…
And C’mon! Atomic Dog dude! Ya gotta Get out the funk for a wedding!
Or at least get “Bad Touch” in there to freak out the grandparents :D
Was someone saying something? Coulda sworn I heard someone ….
If you can, squeeze in a nap when you get tired during the day — I know, I know, I’m a napvangelist and can’t entirely be trusted, but I promise, catching a nap early does wonders for insomnia later.
So, Zero Cool, we’re setting off fire alarms from afar now, are we? Don’t worry, I won’t turn you in, but I’d like the following to be on T.V. tomorrow night… ;)
Lastly, are you “From Detroit”-enough to share the joke about an energy drink named “RockStar”? If I move, I’m totally going to have to keep a straight face about that, so I’m trying to point and giggle as much as possible while I’m still here. Classy, aren’t I?
They, ahem, played “Every Sperm is Sacred” at my first wedding…which was probably the best thing about it, really…but, you know, I don’t know what your audience is, but mine was the perfect mix of “totally down” and “totally oblivious”, and everybody ended up loving it. Just sayin’. ;)
How can you be leaving when you just called me Zero Cool?
I’ll try to work in a nap if I can, and if I can convince myself. When it comes to using one’s time wisely, I would say that I am nowhere near that awesome state of efficiency. Not entirely sure why I went downhill with that, but it clearly needs to be addressed.
I guess there’s a local hair band named RockStar?
That’s awesome. :) If it were just my family, I could probably get away with something like Sit on My Face or Every Sperm is Sacred. Lucy’s family is a little more proper, though.
Background, because of teh funny: My wedding was 400 people, about 350 of which were my then-husband’s family, half Puerto Rican Catholics and half Southern Baptists.
Because of them, I had to deal with a Christian ceremony and wear a white dress and all that, but dammit, I got a song in! ;)
Naw dude, a “rockstar” is street-slang for a crackhead. I thought I’d die laughing when I saw the energy drink…I swear, they had to have meant it. HAD to.
I’m calling you Zero Cool forever now. That was srsly cute. ;)
I can dig that, but I will also answer to Crash Override. ;)
Wow, we’ll have nothing that … extreme, as far as I know. :)
That totally makes sense. If we have “Cocaine” the energy drink and we have TWO (count’em) energy drinks related to DXM abuse (cough syrup) at local gas stations… I wouldn’t be at all surprised.
Yeah, I actually thought the “rockstar” reference might be a joke, but when I saw “Lean” and “Purple Drank” (the latter being also no small bit racist, I felt), I knew they were doing it on purpose. Which is a little creepy, when you think of how much that shit is marketed to kids. The public sector is making “no to drugs” ads, while the private is selling drug-themed drink cocktails to kids with names that scream “hard drugs are awesome”? Erwtf?
I hate calling techies Crash; it feels like wishing them bad luck!
Zero, however, is one of the fundamental yin and yang of our universe. :)
Yes, I choose to believe that I am fundamental to the universe. :)
Yeah, I was able to accept that “cocaine” might be a tongue-in-cheek adult joke (it tastes vile, by the way), but “purple drank” is really shudder-scary. Let’s teach our kids to drink cough syrup to get high, yay!
