Really, other people who play 20Q on the 'puter? Really?

So I was playing 20 Questions on the 'puter and I think there's something wrong with people, in general. Apparently other users have taught 20Q that Bring It On is: a) romantic, b) realistic, c) inspirational, d) does not feature memorable music, and most heinous of all, e) not ridiculous! What does that movie inspire people to do?! And how can you not find it ridiculous?!

Names. Eh.

So, Dave harrassed me into joining his Mafia on Facebook. Now I can't stop. Thanks, Dave. Also, I need to change my mafia name, but I have no idea to what. And Rachel, I'm sorry I got you and your dad shot today. Oops. Thoughts on ridiculous names for me? If I can't come up with something mafia-related, I may go with something from my post about the roller derby...Oh! I just came up with something that is either awesome or super stupid. I'm going to have to mull it over before I share. You know how I do.

Fun times at work

The other day at work, a guy who works at the center we just took over in New York called for me and while I was on the phone with him, I was like, hey, we have the same name, as his name was Andrew. I don't know why I said this, because I'm usually not as dumb at work, but then I was like, it means manly. He was like, that's good for me, but not so good or you. And then he was like, I'm sure you're very womanly. I was like, I was not really questioning the level of my femininity, but ok. It was really weird because he emphasized the very, like a lot. And then I think he realized how weird the conversation had gotten because we were both quiet for a minute. And then we got off the phone. I felt really stupid when I had to call him back a few minutes later with some information. Yeah, I'm super professional all the time...which is good because we've all been working way more than 8 hours a day lately. ;)

I love that the article's address is 'sperm like an Egyptian'

So, this mother is so in denial it's not even funny. Or it actually is funny. She is suing a hotel, claiming her daughter got pregnant from stray sperm in the swimming pool. Wow. Discuss.

A short rant...

So, even though I am usually a terrible feminist, yesterday I was watching TV and got all bent out of shape. It was some reality program and this chick was like, "OK, you girls went out there and did that like men and I really respect that." A woman, telling other women that because they did something lik men, she respected them! What is wrong with women doing things like women? Why isn't that enough to garner respect?

Vehicular issues

So, Shannon's car broke at the end of last week, which was unfortunate. But then on Sunday, while we were in Louisville, it turned out that one of my cousins is trying to sel his car. So, my aunt told me to drive it back to BG and have our mechanic look at it, which I did. And it seems to be in good shape, so we'll see where that goes. But it was very fortuitous to have an extra car around. Today, Shannon couldn't get my car to start when she was trying to leave work. So that's awesomely ridiculous. But my parents are out of town, so I happen to be able to use one of their cars! Things just keep falling into place right now. I mean, other than the part about my car breaking, although it does just prove I've been right to be so worried about it....

I just spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out whether today is Tuesday or Wednesday. I landed on Tuesday and then looked at a calendar. I am so off lately. I honestly have very little idea of what is going on. I miss having a desk that is mine, so I carry stacks of paper around with me everywhere. I found a post-it on the doorjamb of a doorway I'd been standing in, having a conversation with someone earlier. I do recall putting the post-it there, because I kept fiddling with it. And then I walked past that same doorway like 6 times before I found the post-it, and it was totally neon green. And I wasn't wandering around looking for it; I kind of forgot about the post-it and the task info I wrote on it until it registered in my consciousness again. Oops...
