Cafeteria Conversation

(scene: I'm getting hot water at the coffee dispenser. I've got "Magic Carpet Ride" stuck in my head.)
"Good morning, Laura!"
"Good morning, Craig, how are you?"
"Oh, pretty good. Happy it's a long weekend. And there you are, dancing and singing again."
"Yep, I always do."
"Maybe you can inspire the rest of us to do a little more of that."
"Well, I dunno. You dance and sing to music only you can hear, and you start getting a reputation for being crazy."

New Entry

There's a new entry up in the journal. Sometimes I'm too lazy to think up a title.

Shake and Chug

I bought a protein drink for my lunch today. "Naked" Protein Zone Superfood (oh, look. here's a link). It's got "a pound of fruit per bottle!" in the form of 1 1/2 oranges, 1/2 banana, a hint of coconut, 1 apple or pear (I wonder how they decide?), and 1/4 pineapple. It's got 34 grams of protein per bottle, and 420% of Vitamin C (buh-bye, cold!).

The instructions are "Shake and Chug". Boy howdy, do they mean it. Chug is the only way to get this stuff down. Plugging your nose wouldn't be a bad idea, either. This stuff is the thickest, grittiest UGH that I've ever had to drink. It's rather what I imagine Metameucil (sp? that orange powder stuff that "promotes regularity") tastes like. Or rather, *feels* like.

Ugh. (chug)

Homework Help!

1) Does anybody out there have a copy of The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody : Great Figures of History Hilariously Humbled by Will Cuppy?

2) Would anybody be willing to scan or transcribe "Cleopatra" and e-mail it to me?

The school library only has two copies, from which 20+ students are supposed to read and devise a four page paper before next Wednesday. I called to all the bookstores in the area, and nobody carries it. The only way I can order it and get it here on time is if I pay $25 over and above the $6 cost of the book.

Damn, this is frustrating.

Nooooo!!! Don't gooooo!!!

Calvin's on the phone right now with an A0L rep, trying to cancel our account. We don't need it any longer since we upgraded Marie's computer to high-speed. This rep just won't let Calvin cancel. He keeps suggesting other products, and I've heard Calvin repeat over and over, "No, I just want to cancel the account. No, thank you, I just want to cancel the account."

He had to ask for the guy's supervisor several times. He had to ask for the guy's last name several times. And his extension. And all this time, stunningly enough, Calvin remained polite and calm. After about ten minutes, we were finally "allowed" to cancel our account. For God's sake.

Smurfy!

"...I was brushing my teeth (with the new Colgate Simply White toothpaste, which make my teeth startlingly blue while I’m using it. Like I just blew a smurf or something)..."

Guffaw! Gotta love me some Weet.
