But this will be it for a few days I’m sure
I hate to make the bed.
I hated making my bed when I was a kid. In fact, we all know the arguement that was tossed back at Mom, right? Everyone!
But I’m just going to mess it up again
If you try to tell me that you have never ever once uttered the above phrase, I am going to call you a liar.
But now, as a responsible adult, I find that I do in fact make my bed, if for no other reason than it makes it look better (in case I have company) (oh, who am I trying to kid) and is slightly more comfortable. To that end I do have a nice set of Egpytian Cotton sheets and a wonderfully fluffy goose down comforter (not too heavy, not too light). But, I digress.
Every now and again you have to wash the sheets. I try to do this at least once a week unless there are *activities (see above). This is the part of bed making that I really hate. Getting the sheets off the bed is a piece of cake, but on a king sized mattress that sits 4 feet above the ground (I’ll have to snap a pic one of these days), getting the fitted sheet back on that mother f’er is a real pain in the arse! Twist, turn, tug, pull, realize you have the thing on inside out or backwards and repeat. Like 15 minutes to do this. After that, the rest just goes into a semi-made pile on the bed and voila!
Anyway…
And no, I do not make the lad make his bed. He’s just going to mess it up later…
Just killing a few minutes here before I go to bed…
From this video…does the leader singer for Sum41 look a lot like a very young Mickey Dolenz? Yes, that one. If you have to ask, click the link
I really have to see this movie…no, not a trailer, but a video from a clip from the movie Ray…swingin’!
This and this from the dept. of guilty pleasures…dumb like dirt? sure. First rate top notch bimbo’s the both of them, but when it comes to looks (BritBrit) and a not too shabby voice (Christina), this is the 1two punch that can’t be beat.
This guy just looks odd…but, I liked the song by Kings of Convenience to download the entire album. If you are looking for something poppy, but on the down low this one won’t disappoint.
This is a bit older…I have recently, thanks mostly to the movie Shawshank Redemption, developed an appreciation for Hank Williams. No, not Jr. The lyrics are simple, without being too hookey or overly religious. And, besides, you gotta love a good old timey slide geetar.
And finally this..’cause I got theroleyonmyarmandI’mpourin’Chandon…
I’m off for a few days to go out to the desert. No update probably until the end of the week. So, happy new years! Oh yea, be safe out there gang, remember, they don’t call it amatuer night for nothin’. G’s to the BizZacK!!1!
And as it turns out, had a fairly ok day, swag-wise at least. Sis hooked me up with some cool kitchen gadgets, including season 4 of Good Eats, that came with a nifty kitchen gadget guide and cook book penned by AB himself. So, I’ll be geeking out on kitchen stuff most of the day today.
The lad scored a nintendo hand held game machine that came with Mario Bros 3. I had forgotten what a killer soundtrack that one has.
So far I suck at Halo2. Not as bad as I thought. I only got killed once because the default controller setup is less than intuitive. Now, if I can only figure out how to move, aim and shoot at the same time.
And, this is my vacation week. Of course my phone rang today. Oh yea, rang on Friday too (the office was closed that day even). I’d bet it will ring again. Yes I’m keeping track of my time.
Later this week going to go visit the parents for a few days and check out dad’s knees. A friend of theirs beat my gas powered knee brace idea with a dual-briggs & stratton engine powered walker. Dang!
Tree is up. Lad is wearing new PJ’s, fire in the fireplace.
Oh yea, presents stolen from under the tree and money taken from the house.
Yea, is this mothing fucking holiday over yet? I’m ready to go home.
And this one was turning out to actually be, if not slightly, better than the last. Then this crap happened. As an added bonus I get to spend the day with my family. Did I mention the actual tonage of gifts under their tree? Yea. Makes it kinda hard to compete. Oh yea, and the lad’s 1 big gift that I ordered on December 1st hasn’t arrived. This is another that I am going to add to the list of ‘this-is-really-still-a-holiday?’.
But hey, at least my car starts. At least it did today, but I’m sure this is jinxing it somehow.
I can type 60 WPM I can hand code valid HTML I can drive a stick shift. I can make pan seared Ahi tuna with a wasabi cream sauce. I can build a computer, completely from scratch. I can rotate my own tires.
Knowing all of this, why can I not wrap a mother f’ing Christmas present?
Ok, that’s not entirely true. I can wrap the box. That’s not really the problem.
It’s what it looks like when I’m done with it. Think blind ‘tards with those safety scissors. Got it? Ok, mine look worse. Ugh. It’s probably because I really really really hate wrapping gifts that I suck at it. Or, I really suck at it, which is why I hate it.
Either way, we shall add this to the ‘why db needs a personal assistant’ list. The position is still open for those of you wondering.
Man, is Christmas over yet?
