Good... And Good for You

i'm almost through my busy time of year. in fact, i'm so close with being done with halloween and christmas '09 i can taste it. and when i say i can taste it, what i mean is that i'm currently eating candy samples from what will be my next packaging project... nostalgia candy. i'm surrounded by all my most favorite candies from my childhood. don't worry, i'll list it out one by one. i'm talking about pixie sticks, pop rocks, ring pops, cry babies, fire balls, candy necklaces and fun dip and something called "zotz". i'm telling you, this totally makes up for the taj mahal themed gum drop label i had to make.

man, the weirdest thing happened last night. i was hanging a clock on my bathroom wall when i slipped, fell and hit my head. when i came to i saw this... i only wish i knew what it meant.

some lesser known rules of human nature... 1. my friends and i will never be able to finish a plate of baked goods because nobody wants to be the person who takes the last piece. we will however break the last piece in infinite halves. this is a real life example of zeno's dichotomy paradox . 2. in any given dvd commentary the word "genius" will be used 32 times. 3. a person's moderation, patience, and (let's face it) basic decency diminishes sharply the moment they stop communicating with someone face-to-face, ergo an otherwise normal person has a high chance of being mean and crazy via phone. here, i've graphed it out... my first job was as a telemarketer and i wanted to quit after the first fifteen minutes. but i didn't. i quit after 4 hours. which is why i have this sympathy for the telemarketers of the world. i have no problem sitting through their speech and required three attempts, and usually when i do they are so filled with relief they start m...

the other day i went to chevron for a diet coke and my chevron boyfriend was all, "i haven't seen you for a while." and i was all, "ya, i know." and then he was all "where have you been?" and i was all, "i don't know... busy?" so there you go, month of may. i've been busy. disinterested, non caffeinated, and busy. supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting... and busy.

i have a truly disorganized brain and i don't trust it. it doesn't focus or remember. it lacks the ability to think something through in one sitting. it messes with me on a regular basis. it is not to be trusted. i lack the ability to think something through in one sitting which is why i live a life of post-its, lists and journals. that way my pinball machine brain has a safety net. here is today's work list... first, i want you to notice the "holiday 2009" heading because ya, i've started christmas. i really do think this is what the inside of my brain looks like. it started out all nice and neat and flushed to the left, but then i started scribbling little changes and addendums all over it and now my brain would be completely indecipherable to anyone else. and yes, there's probably a flower doodled somewhere at the bottom of my brain.

you know how the internet keeps track of your every move and then synthesizes and analyzes all the pertinent material to better place applicable ads on your sidebars? ? last week, on my sidebar... http://www.gk2gk.com/ the place to "find your geek match". you rent one season of "battlestar galactica"... i feel a special thrill in arguing at work. i decided to not drink diet coke during the month of may and i will tell you why... because i'm not addicted to diet coke. i mean, i like it. i like that it has no calories. i find it refreshing and delightsome and on par with drinking sunshine and unicorns... but let us get one thing straight, people who i work with, when you compare diet coke to a crack addiction and i say no, diet coke is not crack, and you say yes, it's basically the same thing... you make me insane. and you must be proven wrong. so i gave up diet coke for the month of may and here's the thing, at no point did i have a caffeine headache or ...

i spent most of saturday "gardening" and i type the word "gardening" in somewhat sarcastic quotation marks because for all i know i'm cultivating a wasteland. however i fully enjoyed myself, what with the novelty and the feeling that i was playing some sort of trivia game with mother nature. a three part game, actually... part I: weed or plant? the winner was, er, not always me. there's an incident with 40 year old geraniums/chrysanthimums i cannot at this time relate. part II or deux: taking a break or taking a nap? either way i won. unless it was a competition between me and ziggy because then he won. unless the competition was to see who could lay in the sun and not get sunburned because then i won. part III: is that a bug?? is that a bug?? all i know is it's the neighbor's problem now. p.s. in the "suggested friends" portion of facebook i have to keep rejecting "jesus" and i'm starting to feel guilty about it.

i'm completely addicted to pirate news. can't get enough of it. let's explore why... first, i've never understood what navy seals do. i knew they existed. i assumed they did stuff , but i never heard about the stuff they were doing and i'm not going to lie to you- the silence scares me. hearing about their awesome captain-rescuing skills comforted me a little bit although it did little to nothing to diminish the image i have of demi moore shaving her head in "g.i. jane". second, it totally made me laugh when the pirates were all, "why would you kill us? we are OUTRAGED that you would kill three of the men who kidnapped and held that ship captain for ransom and tried to take away food and aid you were sending to our starving countrymen. OUTRAGED! what did we ever do to you?? well. now we're going to have to crack down. you've forced us to. this is all your fault really. from now on, when we attack an unarmed vessel, we're going to kill ever...
