i was totally in a commercial today. they were playing that just breathe song on the radio while i was zooming by people on the freeway today. i left it on for like 30 seconds before i couldn't stand the ridiculousness of me driving to that song. just silly.

i have been overcome with the idon'twanna syndrome.

again.

i want to just sit. and be. you can come be with me. we can do nothing.

no work. no christmas shopping. no laundry. no hole of a car to clean out. i want people to blog so i can quit reading the same entries day after day. i want someone to post on pink mic so i can marvel at their lyrical genius. i want peace on earth and good will towards men. but really, if you can just stop the world so i can be, that would be good too.

okay.

from my perspective, gambling is only fun if

a) you're winning
b) it's not your money you're losing or
c) it's completely fake money but you're friends are so cool and into it that it might as well BE real money.

i love being the house watching my friends scream for numbers and watching conehead sneakily (and smartly) pulling away when alvin presses the field while eric goes all in and porta loses his condo and martin hides chips in his pocket so he doesn't lose fake money and lynnchen promises she'll gamble in vegas in march. =)

been out of commission for the last couple days. my office manager knows that i'm on drugs and lots of pain so OF COURSE he has someone call me yesterday to bug me to do work that he failed to tell anyone he wanted it two days ago. wanted. not needed. see, it's not so much that i mind it when people call me and i'm sick. if they need work from me, then of course i'll do my best to get it to them. BUT! why bother me if you know that you won't need it until i'm gonna be back????? WHY?!! it amazes me that people get promoted to senior positions without any common sense. i mean, really....all ya gotta do is work that brain for a second (aka THINK) and people won't hate you. as much. ha.

anyway..drugs are definitely kicking in. painkillers = good. =) i wish they would invent de-swelling drugs. i look like i gained a hundred pounds. my manager told me today that i look like a completely different person. gee. thanks. just what i needed. while true, didn't need the reinforcement. =P

happy friday!!

note to self: snowboarding with skiers is not as fun as snowboarding with snowboarders.

p.s. you take forever to strap in.

p.p.s. make sure the next pair of bindings you buy won't snap when it's super duper cold.

why is it that when there's a HUGE flock of birds following each other around too close to your head or your vehicle that it's frightening? i think i was traumatized by all the birds on church street and washtenaw and in front of angell hall. the fear of getting pooped on is pretty big. and the grossness of walking on the bird poop is even worse. ewewewewew. (btw--did you know that excessive amounts of bird crap is potentially being considered as a biohazard in the environmental field?) anyway..i only bring it up because i felt like i was under attack today as i was leaving the office. when there's too many birds that they look like flies or they look like leaves on barren trees..it's a scary thing.

on monday the radio guy on wwj newsradio 950 had a message to everyone that was afraid to drive in the snow: STAY HOME.

i will echo his sentiments with a p.s.: just because there's snow on the grass doesn't mean you have to drive like there's snow on the road. thank you.

ever get an eyelash under your contact? how can something so little cause so much pain???

wow. i feel bitter. work is getting the better of me. i'm gonna work on that.
