Sooo...
My day started like this. I went down to my office to do some work and within 20 minutes or so had locked myself out of my office. My keys, a fresh cup of Peet's coffee, and my phone are all still sitting there waiting for my return. Unfortunately, my landlord in nowhere to be found and now, being that there seem to be no other tenents in the building, the front door to the office suites are locked as well. This means if I call a locksmith, he will actually have to break in to two doors, which he probably would not be too keen on doing, being that, while I can prove the office is mine, he still might not feel that he has the proper permission to get into the front door of the building.
Also, it is very unusual that my landlord hasn't been home all day, unless he is out of town, which would really suck. My customers have been understanding today. Tomorrow, probably not so much.
Friggin' Mondays! :mad:

In the keeping of the proper balanbce of Peets Consuption in the universe, I must relay this parallel Monday morning tale to MBCs.
I got on the wrong bus this morning on my way to work. I stayed on thinking at some point it must cross the path of some other familiar line that could take me back to the proper path, but it didn't. Instead I drove through Alhambra, San Morino, and ultimately Pasadena, where I spotted a Peets on the corner of Lake and California.
Needless to say, I got off the bus and had myself a capaccino - afterwhich I got on the same bus on it's return trip. Got to work about 90 minutes late, but oddly satisfied.
There's a disturbance in the universe today, a disturbance that doesn't want me to work, but rather enjoy a cup of coffee. So I yield to these forces greater than myself.
In other words, I think you should just get yourself another cup.

Not a bad idea, especially considering that I thought I posted that last post in the "Sooo" thread and couldn't figure out where it went. Apparently, I didn't get enough caffeine today to think clearly. I think it's time to head to Peet's. :)
I think you may be correct about the disturbance in the universe today. It is very odd that I locked myself out of the office. For one thing, the door should have been unlocked. I never lock it from the inside. Secondly, I don't remember closing it behind me. I went to take out the trash and usually don't close my door when I am only going to be gone a minute. Very strange.
Perhaps this is all getting too deep for this particular thread however. Therefore, I will end my post with this not so deep thought.
I wonder how many people are trying to call me right now.

It is pretty swanky. The swank factor is diminished a tad by the company logo on it, but it least it's a tastefully done logo.
And, if you've got a quality pen, might I recommend www.freerefill.com. 5 quality ink refills for shipping only ($5). Damn good deal if you've got a pen that's worth keeping around for a while.

I've been pretty partial to the Zebra F-301's for about 10 years. It's about as swanky a pen as I'm willing to take responsibility for and it gets high marks for dependability.

I think the whole strip club crap is another symptom of a frigid culture. Tease, tease, tease.
I have never been to a strip club of either sex. I don't see the appeal of getting all hot and bothered without being able to touch anything. At least porno doesn't have any pretense about it.

I've been to a strip club once in my life. The place I went to, I was told that you could get a hand job if you went early enough (the was a constant police presence after a certain hour - imagine working that beat).
The amusing side was a stripper with a Hello Kitty lunch box filled with an assortment of dildos and vibrators. The sad side was I felt more like the woman's gynocologist than anything else - ho hum.
That said, I'd love to see one of Dita Von Tease's Burlesque acts - or some sort of campy burlesque revue.
I think there is something to be said about the proper tease as well as often the anticipation is sometimes far more erotic than the actual consumation.

10 years....same folks just with a few more lbs and a little less hair...and alot more kids. ended up very hammered. mui boracho e loco. at least I found out why the girl punked me for ditch day. guess finding out she was pregnant the day before sorta took the fun out of it for her. go figure
20....yikes! bad face lifts and dye jobs, sagging wrinkly folks trying to act 18 again. alot of obviously rented cars for folks wanting to look more successful than they were. except for Ron...who didnt look to have aged 30 seconds...probably the incredibly high THC content in his system.
more boracho, not quite so loco. hangover like I'd been hit by a bus
25.....skipped it. hated thinking I look as bad as the rest of those folk did at 20. (along with other reasons for not attending)
30? heh...not even at gunpoint.
only celebrity we knew of from our class was a convicted cop killer now serving multiple life sentences. too bad, always seemed like a nice guy.

Ever notice that, counter-intuitively, it seems easier to get used to driving a rental car than it is to get re-used to driving your own car after driving a rental car?

An odd realization stemming from a strange late night convorsation between CP and myself:
I've been to several historical recreated villages from the colonial era on the east coast. These are places where buildings from the time are preserved, and people dress in period costumes, demonstrating what life was like during the time. There'd be women tending gardens, a baker baking bread, and invariably a blacksmith making stuff. Sometimes they'd even give some small bit of metal work to the visitors (I've still got a square nail lying around somewhere). It ocurred to me last night that while you are guaranteed to see a butter churn at these recreated villages, and maybe even someone pretending to churn butter, not once do I remember getting to taste any hand-churned butter on the spot. Which made me realize that at that point in history, it was easier to smith metal than to make butter.

And in all likelyhood, that hand churned butter would be so vastly different from what people were used to that they would not like it.
(I've had it, its very different)
And it is far better to have people walk away with that piece from the smith, than walk away saying, "Hey man, it's cool and all, but stay AWAY from the butter churning area"

They cheer their team on reluctantly, and only when the big screen tells them to. The instant "Make Some Noise!" disappears from the screen...they stop making noise!
"Two outs in the bottom of the 9th, tie game, runner in scoring position, 2 strikes...hmmm....does the big screen tell me to cheer? No? Okay then, I will sit here and politely read the hair restoration advertisement on the screen until told otherwise."
And yet...they find time at work to give me sh!t for wearing a Dodgers shirt. Like I give a crap about some non-existent Angels/Dodgers rivalry that the apathetic Angels fans seem to want to invent to feel important. Bah.

I wasn't enjoying the book much anyway. Gaiman already wrote about a guy who's nervous and embarrassed all the time and is sucked into magical happenings. I don't need to read it again.

The packaging for Zig-Zag rolling papers is some of the most useful packaging ever. Not only does it conveniently dispense the papers, the flap can be used as source material for a mouth piece for your hand rolled...tobacco. And, should you need to clean up the...tabacco on the table, it acts as a handy scraper to collect loose bits of...tobacco.

Nope - that's my favorite way to eat them. In fact I'm not sure I've ever eaten one toasted.

And while on the subject of Pop Tarts:
I seem to recall some Toaster Streudel commercials in which a kid, given pop tarts before going to school, quickly ditches them when out of Mom's sight in favor of a Toaster Streudel which he has smuggled, or procures from a friend or something. My question is...how the hell does that kid plan on toasting the thing? Unlike Pop Tarts, a raw toaster streudel is not a tasty treat.

Both are yummy, yes (and there is no way Evan is straight!), but I'd rather have Eric Stromer from Clean Sweep or Sparky or Justin from In a Fix. Hot!

Which of the following seems more rude? Contacting an old friend you haven't talked to in a long time and immediately asking them for advice in their field of expertise, or contacting them, shooting the breeze for a while, and then pulling the "Oh, by the way, I have a question in your area of expertise."

I'd probably go with option 'C' - Immediately ask them for advice and then shoot the breeze.

Frosted Pop Tarts are eaten untoasted by preference. Unfrosted Pop Tarts simply remain uneaten.

Since I started on the low-carb diet a couple of months ago, with only a couple of exceptions, I have eaten a Low Carb Breakfast Bowl from Carl's Jr. for breakfast every weekday morning.
Surprisingly, I am not sick of them.

PLEASE tell me you're not doing this anymore - I want to be the only lounger who's had a heart attack !!!. :eek:
......I say this with love. Now back to the hurdy-gurdy.
When Lani was doing low-carb she tried one of those. It seemed pretty disgusting (about half the ingredients are not available to me).

I can't eat the frosted ones. Too sweet.
And, Kevy Baby!!! My gosh! Can I ask why you eat that? Convenience sake?
Like Lashbear said, yikes! I was concerned because of my fathers' heart health history {he passed at 52} so I tried to do {not to do?} some of the things I'd learned when caring for him.
Not so much salt. The fat? Uh, not so good. What I eat every morning is oatmeal. With only a few exceptions of when I couldn't prepare it. Try it. It is easy. A little packet, either milk or water and you have a yummy breakfast.
I just finished mine. Umm Umm. :coffee:

How come on CSI they never flip on the lights? They're always lurking around looking for stuff in the dark with these teeny flashlights. People are dead but there's not a blackout, flip the switch who knows what evidence you'd be able to find if you could see.

That's nothing. My coworker told me the story the other day of the dudes working in his kitchen. They had stripped the whole thing out, down to the concrete slab foundation...and my coworker found a big wad of spit on the freaking floor. I don't care if it is concrete slab, you don't bloody spit in someone's house!

Now here's another question. Do y'all eat them in pairs or do you just eat one and come back the next day for the other?

Pairs, because if I'm eating them it's for breakfast and one is not enough.*
I'm a little annoyed that they've stopped stocking the cinnamon ones in our vending machine.
*Though I do love it when I get distracted and come back 30 minutes later and find the second one waiting for me.
