The Man, The Myth, The Ice Cream

Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch...

Yes, I know it's been a really really long time since my last post. Life has been really busy. But fear not friends -- the random craziness has still been happening around here. Exhibit A: I am zoned out on the couch one night when I hear a knock on the door. I open it to find a blond 18-year-old with a strange look on her face. I realize some guys have pictured this exact same scenario, but I have not. Anyway, this young lady says she was in her apartment and heard a strange noise and was scared to go inside and would I go in with her? I must have paused for a moment too long, because she began doing this nervous giggle-like thing and insisted she was serious. I ended up going into her apartment and quickly determined that her fan was knocking her blinds around. Despite my genius observation, she insisted I stay until she checked every. Single. Room. And closet. Exhibit B: I had to go for a health assessment at work so I c...

Random Musings

1. Last Friday night I was driving home from my parents' house when I saw two gentlemen on the corner. One was wearing a jumpsuit and the other was dressed as (I swear) Captain Hook. They appeared to be brushing up on their creeper skills. Well played, boys. Well played. 2. I've been watching a lot of "Storage Wars" lately. Who puts glass eyeballs in a storage locker? Why are plastic chairs worthy of storage? If someone can afford to purchase and store randomly valuable items, why can't they afford to pay the storage fees? And why do so many people store money in storage lockers? Haven't they ever heard of a bank? 3. My father used the work "Grok" in Words with Friends. He claims it means "to understand." Later when I was telling him about my bad day he told me he totally grokked (groked?). Thanks for the support, Dad. 4. - 6. I'm sure I've mused about some more stuff here, I'm just to...

A Verizon Affair To Remember

After school I convinced myself to go to the gym. So, naturally, I found myself getting a pedicure instead. I was relaxing with my tootsies in the warm bubbly water when the woman across from me got a phone call. She was clearly a model of etiquette because she took the call without hesitation or concern for the rest of us. You could tell by the loud tone of her voice that she was initially confused; the caller was apparently a Verizon representative and had asked for her husband. After a few moments she responded that she would stop by Verizon as soon as possible to discuss the matter because she, frankly, had no idea what the caller was talking about. Hmmmm, a secret phone? A number she didn't recognize? Inconsistencies in the bill? Maybe this guy is having a mid-life crisis. Considering how much this lady talked (even when she wasn't on the phone) while I was trying to enjoy my foot massage maybe he's just fed up....
