Thank heaven for wireless

Blogging while sitting in a meeting. And looking productive to boot! Who woulda thunk it?

Just a few more hours until that gin and tonic that Anna turned me on to. I think I can I think I can I think I can...

Random Thought

I wonder what would happen to the US economy if we did away with the penny? I mean, it seems like a useless coin to me. I'm always clearing out my change purse of 'em, and putting them in the coffee tin under our bed (note to burglers, that's where the cold hard cash is!). I've hardly ever had to fish for a penny. I'm usually putting ten of 'em together so I can buy a plastic cup from the cafeteria.

I wonder what would break, were there no pennies? Besides those machines at the laundromat that dispense tooth-sized pieces of gum, and handful at a time. And the infomercials that sell things for $19.99. They'd have to go up to $20.00. Or down to $19.95. I wonder if that would effect the whole, "But wait, there's more!" quotient. "Sorry, there's no more! We had to cut the price down four cents because there's no more pennies, so you don't get More!" And thoughts would cost more, too. They'd have to change the saying to, "A nickel for your thoughts."

I mean, why *can't* everything be priced off to a multiple of five?

Clearly, I've had too much caffiene today.

My life lacks the funny

I'm supposed to write about the funniest thing that's ever happened to me. Except that nothing funny actually *does* happen to me. I observe funny things. Calvin makes me laugh all the time. My sister's phone calls qualify for The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, Part II. Expanding the topic to include times that I have been embarrassed, and they don't seem to be qualified to occupy an entire paper. Like the time Calvin caught me dancing in the kitchen and singing into a spoon. Or the time I biffed on a blue run at Park City and slid all the way down the hill on my back while the folks on the chair lift above me waved.

I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to write about. Any suggestions?

Newness!

A couple of geeky new things. Observe, if you will, the right hand side of this page. Near the top, you'll see a green "exit" button. Click on this. Go ahead! I'll wait...

Isn't that cool? If your boss is looking over your shoulder, this is a quick escape route so you can look legitimately busy! Nifty. You can even choose your own escape route by clicking on the link below the button and setting a cookie.

Secondly, please admire my home-made blog sticker, down below the Terror Alert Level. Cool, yes? Now click on it! G'wan!

I made all those nifty blog stickers my own little self. And as they were free for me to make, they're free for you to steal from me! Copy 'em and use 'em on your own website if you want. Let me know if you do! (Oh, and guess which movies I edited the quotes from.)

Finally, please note that the archive dates are no longer listed, messily, down the side of the page. They're now on their own little page, just click on the Archive navigation link.

Thank you, that is all.

Guffaw!

I found this in my e-mail this morning, from Heather:

Dear Abby,

My boyfriend is not happy with my mood swings.

The other day, he bought me a mood ring so he would be able to monitor my
moods. When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood it
leaves a big fucking red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy
me a diamond.

Sincerely,
Bitchy in Boston
