In Natter...

Matt the Bruins fan: OK y'all, I need to get a keeper. Or a partner-in-crime named Ethel and a Cuban musician husband. This morning I thought I'd be industrious and take out all my trash before running errands. I tried to flip up the dumpster lid with one hand while flinging the garbage in with the other. Which is why I was unable to stop the twist-tie from tangling with the keychain I was holding in the same hand and yanking it into the dumpster as well. Where it promptly burrowed under the many trash bags and hid.

Cut to me spending the next 20 minutes on tiptoes with a cane from my 1997 Halloween costume trying to hook the ring so I wouldn't have to actually climb into the dumpster and necessitate 15 or 20 extra showers. And then when I finally succeeded in snagging the slime dripping keys, waving the cane and doing a victory dance... before turning around to see several neighbors in the parking lot staring at me with open mouths.

The day did improve considerably after that, but then again it pretty much had nowhere to go but up.

ND in Minearverse:

I have hybrid drive outrage, whenever I try to slow down it generates more power from the reciprocal rant drive.

Topic!Cindy in Minearverse:

The studio loves Tim. The network thinks it's going to, but loses its soul, as soon as it sleeps with him.

context? who needs it? in Movies:

Jesse - She is her neice. It just looks like her Mini-Me or something. Not creepy, some other word. Maybe a German word.

Dana - schadenfreude!

weltanschauung!

zeitgeist!

brenda m - gesundheit!

Dana - danke schön.

I will do shotgun again someday, and hopefully rifle. Not with those folks, though.

I'm going to the movies tonight, and I will be especially girly, and I will smile at complete strangers and know how badly I could hurt them if things went south.

This is how I cheer myself up and forget the sexist pigs.
