I’m weird.
Here are some things that I’ve done or seen the last few days and wonder who else does them.
- The power was out for about an hour. I must have flipped light switches a hundred times. I also tried to turn on the TV and thought I’d check my e-mail. I just finished reading a book that involves the loss of electricity (amongst other things)….we better hope that we don’t lose power long term. I think we might be surprised how dependent we are.
- I was hungry yesterday and not finding anything to eat I must have opened and closed the refrigerator about 5 or 6 times. Did I think that something different was somehow going to appear?
- I go walking every morning and I hate running into the other walkers / runners / dog walkers. I can never remember the proper greeting. There is one guy who never says hi back. I keep forgetting just to walk by him. There is the dog walking lady that always wants me to pet her dog. The Japanese couple who will only exchange nods. I have to bring a cheat sheet with me.
- I’ll throw Jen under the bus today too. If you have something in your cart that you no longer want what do you do? Take it back to where it belongs? or do what Jen does…put it on whatever shelf is nearby. I will walk the entire length of the store to take it back. I feel like if I put it on some random shelf someone is going to see me or catch me. I see things in the wrong place all the time in the store, so other people must do it too.
Ok. Enough of my goofiness today.
Bob Barker called…
I thought this was mildly amusing, so at the current level of standards I’m running, it gets its own entry.
Spay – Neuter Fathers? Wow….this is either a Urologist or a really angry mother.
I see dead people
This morning I was remembering a funny incident from my past and I thought I’d share it with you.
I was listening to morning radio in St. Louis and the topic was dreams. At one point one of the radio hosts made the comment “Did you know if you die in your dreams then you actually die in real life?” While they were discussing this for a while I started to think about it a bit and then I picked up the phone and called in. They were still going on and on about if you die in your dream then you really die when I killed the whole conversation. I asked the girl who made the assertion the following question: “How did you survey this? Did someone ask 100 dead people if A: Were you dreaming when you died? and B: In your dream were you dying? One of the other hosts started cracking up and then picked up on the theme. They razzed this girl mercilessly for the next hour. I felt a little bad about that, but I’ve heard this assertion repeated since then a dozen more times.
For fun…
Some links to keep you busy, amused, or annoyed.
Rules of thumb – I thought these would be more dumb than helpful, but I was pleasantly surprised. Here is one to help you decide if you are going to click it or not. People are willing to walk for seven minutes to get to a McDonald's. That's why you'll find McDonald's restaurants a 14 minute walk apart in downtown areas.
List of pasta names – You want to click on it…mostly because you think to yourself. “How many could there be?” Go ahead. It has pictures.
Space meals (Apollo 11) – Ok…kind of dumb, but I kept scrolling wondering how in the world they survived on that stuff. I get all mad if someone takes some french fries from my McDonalds value meal.
