Attracting Females
I'd be totally down with this guy if i lived in Chicago. This guy demonstrates mating behavior of a higher complexity than usually seen on CL casual encounters. Not unlike a bowerbird. Fort does need work though.
Invested in My Future
I get paid once a month. During the first two weeks of the month, while i'm still liquid with my discretionary allowance, i've recently gotten into the habit of stashing the odd 20 in various purse, suit, and jacket pockets, and such. Haphazardly, and without any real intention of remembering immediately that i put it there. Depending on how the month goes, and should there be any huge work expenses or family emergencies, i know that i can tear my house apart and rifle through all my dirty laundry and probably come up with enough cheddar for lunch, cab/bus fare and/or coffee in those last few lean days.
I realized today as i was chucking a couple tens into an unfrequented drawer that there are a couple other items that i stash like this. Namely ibuprofin and tampons. Itz not a 401K or anything but i am proud that i am at least thinking a month ahead or so. And thatz a vast improvement over the last two years.
Wherein I Weep, Gnash Teeth and Wail
Alas technology gawds, why hast thou forsaken me? Upon my return home this evening, looking forward to a holiday weekend of media immersion, i found that the HP digital entertainment center had crashed. No amount of restarting and BIOS defaulting gets it past the initial XP load screen. So i either downloaded a vicious registry devouring virus tacked onto some pr0n, or last tuesday's critical XP patch didn't sit well with the OS. I think the latter - itz the only major change i've made recently. But sadly i can't even get it back up with safe mode to try and roll it back.
Of course, i don't know where Shaun-o has packed the boot disc, so i couldn't try that hail mary pass just yet. It will have to wait for a resurrection on Monday when Shaun-o comes home.
Meanwhile i have to watch regular cable TV. And restrain self from impulse upgrades.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Loving the Bomb
I have it on the authority of this report by the Center for Mass Destruction Defense that basically, should a 550 Kiloton bomb be detonated over/near/on midtown, i would probably be one of the 903,501 immediately dead people, caught in the thermal blast area. This is actually much better than the other hosers from hoboken to long island who get to limp thru the gnarly 2nd - 3rd degree burnage and fallout nastiness. Yay, me!
