"Naturally Effervescent"

Just last night someone asked if I'd been drinking... I actually hadn't been. That's me: "naturally effervescent".

Chairs for Sale

In Phenomenon, this woman named Luce sells chairs she's made of willow branches out of this guy's shop. She thinks they are selling well and keeps bring more, but the shop owner is actually just buying them all. He wants her to keep coming by and talking to him. Robert Duvall's character later explains to some guy that can't seem to hold onto his girlfriend that every woman has chairs, you just have to figure out what the chairs are and buy them.

It got me wondering what my chairs were and had anyone bought them?

I need to digress a moment. I love the Beck song "Debra". The dork protagonist in the song has obviously no clue that women even have chairs. The part about how he glanced at her nametag and thought her name was Jenny or how he wants only her and her sister ;).

FWIW, if anyone I'm close to is reading this or stumbles on it, I'm really just typing stream of consciousness on this and not trying to say anything pointed. A chief issue is not knowing what the chairs are. I have a few ideas. Maybe no one could help me unless I know where to point them to? I definitely appreciate being appreciated for being weird or strange or dark or quirky or whatever you want to call it. That's not totally it though. I need to think on this more.

Crazy Cat Lady

Is it any better to be a woman alone with a laptop and an internet connection... than it would be to be a woman alone with a bunch of cats?

Man Traps His Own Head in Car Door at Micky D's

This poor guy! What an embarrassing story on top of it all. Just forego the change next time.

Give Me Christmas with Yolanda Adams

or not! Music companies are unloading crappy CDs on our libraries and schools. I like the administrator who says:

"One person's crap is another person's 'Let's get a groove on."

At the bottom of the article, they have an example of what one library is getting. How righteous to be getting 68 copies of the same Barry White album! OMG.

Bottle Opening Sandal

I think the consensus among geeks is that the Reef Bottle Opening Sandals are clearly retarded. One friend pointed out that bar restrooms have disgusting floors. You're not going to want to open anything using the bottom of your shoe and then put it to your lips. Second, another friend pointed out you could step in dog doo or some other unsavory stuff too. Third, they're just retarded looking. They get big points for getting a lot of attention.
