The continuing story...

...of a quack who's gone to the dogs. X(m) e-mailed me this morning, with pictures. My stuff, intact. My stuff, broken up. My broken-up stuff, put into a box for disposal.

Eyes. Rolling over here.

Grrr...

Notify List seems to not be working again. I'm probably going to try to transfer the list to Yahoo Groups. Keep an eye out for instructions on how to sign up!

The entry to beat all entries

As the title says, I couldn't MAKE this stuff up. Read all about my ex's histrionics!!! It's such a joy to be back on his radar again, let me tell you.

Scarfed from Bitchypoo:

[Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says]
"amused." (seriously. The last word of the last sentence in the paragraph. Taken from "Girl With a Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier, borrowed from my former boss.)

[Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?]
The nine-key calculator at my desk. Why do they call it a nine-key? There are (counting) 28 keys on it.

[What is the last thing you watched on TV?]
"Deadwood" on HBO.

[With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?]
My co-workers having a conversation, the person in the cube next to me clicking away at her mouse, the person in the cube on the other side of me typing, people walking down the corridor.

[When did you last step outside?]
At lunchtime, after I met Calvin and my friend Dani for lunch.

[What are you wearing?]
A white spaghetti-strap shirt, covered with a baby blue button up shirt, with buff colored capris, white socks, and white sneakers. And my glasses.

[Did you dream last night?]
Yes, but I don't remember what it was. The night *before* I was a spy. Seriously! Climbing around on the outside of buildings and chasing people and everything.

[When did you last laugh?]
Just a minute ago, reading Weet.

[What is on the walls of the room you are in?]
Is a cubicle a room? Let's see... a hanging file shelf, an Anne Geddes print, a keychain from Malaysia, a work week calendar, a regular "civilian" calendar which says for April, "In every hour, I hope to find something to learn... something to give... something to love..." and there's a picture of a vase of flowers, an Achievement Award, a Volunteer Award, a stuffed clown with a porcelain head, a stuffed alien with the word "Delete?" on his shirt, an AcronymCo mascot doll, a stuffed fish, the trail map for Park City Mountain Resort, a Unique Media map of San Francisco, my whiteboard, some post cards (Ireland, New York, Maine), a recipe for The Perfect Margarita, a time conversion table, a "Do Not Disturb" sign, a group picture with some collegues, a picture of Calvin on his motorcycle, and a clip board.

[Seen anything weird lately?]
Not really.

[What do you think of this quiz?]
It kicks ass.

[What is the last movie you saw?]
"Something's Gotta Give"

[If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?]
Same as Robin, a house on the coast o' Maine, of course.

[Tell me something about you that I don't know.]
I always go to the bathroom in the second stall from the door, no matter what public bathroom I'm going into.

[If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?]
I'd make three-day workweeks mandatory.

[Do you like to dance?]
Absolutely.

[George Bush.]
Why the hell is it so awesome that he can throw a baseball?

[Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?]
Calvin says Alexis, but I've always wanted an Emma.

[Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?]
I have no idea. I've only thought of a girl's name.

[Would you ever consider living abroad?]
Yes, if it was someplace safe. A cottage in the English countryside. Or a villa in Tuscany. Or a place on the beach in Greece.

Favorite journal quote of the day

"Which makes me laugh, because you just know that even a lemur behind the wheel of a Beemer is going to have an ulcer and also be a bit of a prick."

Sigh

More wishing.

And some more...

And on... (I especially like photo #5)

Ack! I've always LOVED this house!!!

I can't believe this place is for sale. It's a landmark. Anybody care to donate $750,000?

Or, I could just live here for $1.6 mill.

This little waterfront property is more realistic...

I used to live just across the street from this house on its own little private island.

Another pretty island home.

No, we're not moving. If wishes were fishes... does anybody want to offer me a really well paying job in Maine?

My new favorite word

"Asshat"

Use it in a sentence:

"Man, you're being such an asshat!"

Thanks, Mar, for the new word! Calvin will love you for it.

Finally, an entry

There's a new entry up on the journal.

Can you tell me how to get...

Take a ride on the Way Back Machine with Sarah. MAN, I wish I'd seen that Sesame Street special.

"Has been proved beyond shadow of doubt by Professor Figgy Newton that C is for COOKIE! " BWAAAA!!! And do you guys remember the llama that went to the dentist?

"Near..." (stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp...) "Far." (stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp...) "Near..." (stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp...) "Far."

The old school stuff is the only stuff worth watching.

Um?

I'm totally serious. Check out the spam I got in my e-mail this morning:
