Don't Go There

Going to break with my usual rule of no friend stories. This exchange was priceless. KC was trying to straighten out the oriental rug runner in my entryway tonight. He put one foot at each end and almost went into the splits.

Damien: Ah, you're trying to do a David Lee Roth.

Me (to KC): I want to see you in those pants!

Damien: Those assless chaps?

BRAIN WAVES CEASED

KC: They're called "bottomless chaps".

KNEES COLLAPSED

Damien: No, assless chaps.

KC: Bottomless chaps.

Me: I meant the parachute pants! (from the Might As Well Jump video)

Most Romantic Valentine's Day Gesture

The Ralph's by my house is the worst place to be anytime near or on Valentine's Day. Yesterday I completed my big shop for the week. I was glad to not have to go back. The store is decorated a la Valentine's Day on steroids... in the sort of way that gets you down. To my horror, I discovered that I was almost out of worsteshire sauce. I ventured over to Ralph's about 8:30 p.m. and found lines 10-20 people long. Just insanely long lines of people buying strawberries, alcohol, balloons, etc. Except for the guy behind me in line. He was standing in a 20 minute line with one box of tampons. That is love! On top of that, he watched my basket while I ran to get the elbow macaroni I'd forgotten on my pass through the store.

The Glu Was Missing

Superglu is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. It can take multiple feeds, such as blogger and flickr, adding them into one view. Check me out:

Blinged Out Water

Okay this is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in a while (via Slashfood):

Bling H2O

You'll just have to see for yourself. Oh, and hear for yourself. Dig the jazzy song you can't turn off.

More Vacation Than I Know What To Do With

Thank goodness for clerical errors! I have an extra 132 hours of vacation. I'm taking tomorrow off for no particularly good reason! Here are the thoughts I've had so far:

* Mail my Christmas newsletter. Hmmm, more like my Valentine's Day newsletter now.
* Sleep.
* Work on my jigsaw puzzle.
* Catch up on Netflix. It seems wrong to spend sunny days indoor watching TV.
* Taunt my friends at work over IM.
* Do homework :P.
* Cook something really good for dinner.
* Recover those three unmatching dining room chairs.

Any suggestions about what I should do tomorrow? How would you spend it?

More Signs of Aging

You know you're aging when you want dessert and the cranberry juice in the fridge looks better than the cookies and streudel.
