Today's Poll Question...

As I was walking through Target today I noticed two girls. One was looking at the blue registry sheets. The other one was busy making disparaging remarks about the institution of marriage. "There's all this pressure for young women to find a man and get married, but maybe they should examine the divorce rate in America." Staunch feminist, or jealous, insecure friend? You make the call.

Point/Counterpoint

Back in the classic days of SNL Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd used to do a segment on Weekend Update called "Point/Counterpoint", which would begin as a current events debate but generally devolve into insults about their, ahem, personal characters. Today was a Point/Counterpoint day -- minus the jabs at my integrity. Point -- I donated my old collection of classroom books to a worthy place. Eight years of books equals a lot of boxes. Counterpoint -- I live on the second floor. My car is on the first floor. A lot of boxes of books had to get from the second floor to the first floor. Point -- I went on a walk and found an abandoned license plate by the side of the road and turned it into the police department to be returned to its rightful owner. Counterpoint -- It was really hot today. Why did I go on a walk? Point -- The police officer who collected the plate from me was appreciative. Counterpoint -- He was probably more appreciative that he was done...

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.

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...
