Mindless blather

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Mindless Saturday meme I got from Maria. Be prepared to be bored to absolute death:

What is your favorite quotable line from a movie?
I don't have one. Instead, I like to quote anything from my favorite movies: Happy Gilmore, Spaceballs, and Airplane!

Who is the most famous person you’ve talked to?
I'm famous on the innernets, doesn't that count? No? Well, let's see. I almost hit Queen Latifah, but didn't talk to her, unless you consider me yelling "Get the fuck out of my way, moron!" to be talking. I raced William H. Macy, but we mainly just made hand signals. I stood behind RuPaul in line at the movies and he said "Excuse me" as he walked past us with his popcorn and drink, and then I said "Excuse me" to Ethan Suplee at the same movie when he was with his mom, but we didn't actually talk. Hmm. As far as talking, it's probably a tie between George Clinton, Mark Hamill, or Warren Ellis.

How many bags/boxes of potato chips are consumed at your house per month?
In the 10 years since I graduated from college, I don't think we've ever had a single bag of potato chips at any of the places we lived. I'm just not a chip fan.

What foreign food dish do you prepare from scratch and serve?
An old Ancient Greek dish called Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

What is your favorite section of the supermarket?
The cookie aisle. I want to try them all! Oh, and the bakery, because of the birthday cakes.

What was your high school team’s mascot and what were the school colors?
We were the Hawks and we had orange and black. Even on the swim team, our speedos were orange and black.

Everyone dead yet?

Yeah, so I lied.

It's 2:17 AM. I just got home. The chances that this post will make any sense are very slim.

I did have big plans to do a video post finally, but that was when I thought I had my entire Friday night free. Next week – I promise.

I have a new favorite food, though. The wraps from McDonald's are actually surprisingly tasty! I've tried the chipotle, the honey mustard, and the ranch, and they're all really good and fresh tasting. While it will never replace a double cheeseburger, it's actually been a nice little late-night snack.

Tonight (Saturday night), my wife has a party to go to. I have the choice of being her chauffeur or actually going out and watching random people I don't know try to impress each other. I think I'll take the driving duties and come back to my cave until she needs to be picked up. She may be going out to the party with Britt, which means that my real wife and my blog wife will be together and alone. That just seems like a really bad idea, although I have no specific reason to think that.

Tomorrow is a cookout at our house and my co-hosting of Fab's show at 7 PM. You fuckers had better listen. I'll know if you don't.

Okay, now I'm off to masturbate to tranny horse porn and then to bed.

Ended weakly.

Here it is, midnight on Sunday and I'm left scratching my head. Where did the weekend go?

Saturday:

  • Up at 7, went out for breakfast. Mmmm, blueberry pancakes.
  • Watched Friday night's Monk and Dr. Who
  • Went swimming. Ass got a bit burned.
  • Watched half of Kitchen Confidential on DVD.
  • Worked on my new vlog intro animation.
  • Did my usual work.

Sunday:

  • Up at 7. Started working.
  • Worked until 10. Started reading Harry Potter.
  • Finished Harry Potter at 1:30. Watched Friday night's Psych.
  • Watched my wife paint our refrigerator.
  • Went swimming.
  • Watched the rest of Kitchen Confidential on DVD while I got Postcard Hell orders ready to ship.
  • Wrote this tripe.

I had such a long list of things I wanted to do, too, like cleaning my office (it's an absolute pigsty right now), replying to about 180 emails, creating a new postcard design for Postcard Hell, work on relaunching IT2M, etc., etc. Sigh. I need one more day. Or maybe two. Or three.

Regarding Harry Potter – I'm not going to spoil it, but it was a decent read, and a good way to end the series. It's just as hackneyed and clumsily written and cliched as the other books, but it's still fun to read as long as you don't try to be too critical.

Oh, and I seriously contemplated finding a place that would wax a man's balls. If I had a handheld video camera, I would go down there and have them do it while I recorded my face during the procedure. But, alas, I don't. Oh well.

Anybody do anything interesting this weekend?
