black dotting
I have no reason to call this blog "black dotting" except that this chick I work with just said, "I have lots of black dotting to do."
And it made me laugh.
Of course, if you work with me, you know exactly what "black dotting" means, and you're probably not laughing, and, well, in that case you lack a sense of humor and should just not even read my blog.
So yeah and all that (to quote our family friend, Gary) , here is my new list of .... I don't know exactly what...so I guess I'll just "black dot" this list:
1. I just spent a good 15 minutes trying to find the edge of a half-used roll of tape so I could continue to use said roll until it was completely depleted. Why do rolls of scotch tape do this? Do they know how hard it is to get it started up again once the edge disappears? Am I even explaining this well enough? Probably not but it was damn annoying.
2. My lack of discipline is shocking. Shocking. Last night, I went to have one beer and one Jamesons. I also could only stay until 8pm. 3 hours, 3 Jamesons, and 4 beers later * cough *
Is there anyone in the world who will ever believe me again when I say, "Just one drink."
Doubtful.
Dude, I don't even believe myself.
3. Contrary to the two men who argued this point with me last night, there does exist a University of Maryland, Baltimore County or as those of us in the know know-they are affectionately called UMBC- and they did make it to the NCAA championships last year. Is there a reason why men don't believe I know what I'm talking about when it comes to sports?
Men.
4. Whoever the genius is who decided to put the commute times on those electronic displays while you're in the commute is a sadist. Do any of us really need to know it's going to take another 60 minutes to go 15 miles?
Really?
5. Whatever your issue is with "Watchmen" - I think you should see it again. It gets better the second time. Sorta like the book. I had to read and re-read and read again certain sections. Just give it another shot. Additionally, the casting is pitch perfect.
6. Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, Faith No More, Ultravox...all reuniting-the next thing you're going to tell me is that The Bay City Rollers are reforming for a tour.
And I'll buy tickets
7. I recently moved to another area of my office and here's the deal:
I am freezing yet I am no longer sneezing as much.
I am sequestered back by a column yet I have a nice view of The Black Tower (where my mom used to work years ago).
I am fairly far away from those loud women yet I sorta miss all the noise.
Basically, you get one thing and trade off for another evidently.
Still, I am COLD.
8. I fell asleep during "Confessions of a Shopaholic" Saturday afternoon. I'm not proud of it, but I was exhausted. The thing is though I don't think I missed anything. I woke up at least 15 minutes later and knew exactly what was going on. Just like when I fell asleep during the Keanu Reeves "Day the Earth Stood Still" remake...I mean, it's not like I didn't know what was going on and for that movie...I slept in 2 subsequent 45 minute intervals so I probably only saw the first 15 minutes, the middle 7 minutes, and the last 10 minutes.
I am convinced that my recent string of sleeping in movie theaters is some sort of weird form of narcolepsy that someone will someday diagnose me with. Or maybe I should just stop having cocktails before I see a movie?
Right.
9. Why does TLC have to have these 4 hours blocks of "Little People, Big World", "Jon & Kate Plus 8", and that Duggar family show? Why cannot I stop watching this crap? WHY?
10. This weekend I get to see Adam Pascal & Anthony Rapp in "Rent". Many many years after I first saw them perform at the Tonys, listened the cast recording incessantly as I drove out to Valencia for six months for work, and a few years since I saw that poor excuse of a film adaptation.
I cannot wait.
Black dotting DONE.
