formal intro

i have really started to enjoy me some good ol' SNL. i find kenan thompson to be hilarious in the roles that he plays as the 'black guy' in many of the skits. his delivery is one of my favorites, prolly right up there with will ferrell in his ability.
the other cast member that i really like is kristen wig. her characters in the style of gilly, the kind that get ridiculously silly and way over the top reactions to average situations are tops.

on the subject of humor, a co-worker told me that her grandma thought that 'lol' stood for lots of love. i guess it was okay until her uncle steve died and her grandma sent a text message saying: uncle steve died, lol. it is now a family joke for them. props to grandma for have dexterous enough thumbs to be able to text.

i have discovered 'supercity' on facebook. it's a lot like simcity of my childhood, but takes a lot longer. it will cut into the sleep, i'm sure.

grammy/grammy

i feel that my job puts me in a weird position. obviously, i have a job. boom goes the dynamite. but the idea that i'm working full time and getting paid more puts me one step ahead of the student workers. i try to be friends with them and such, but i feel that being too friendly kind of makes things awkward when corrections need to happen. but at the same time, i'm the lowest guy on the totem pole at work. i live in the purgatory of work. somebody needs to pay the job priests so i can move on with my life.

i've played this game for about 15 hours now. sooo good

so it's december 2, i haven't heard anything from the Princeton.

there is something about having open spaces. clean, open spaces. i have lived in this house for over 4 months tomorrow, and i'm still battling the open spaces in my house. last night i spent the time to clean organize the areas that i spend the most time in.

taking the time to open it up, it makes me feel good about walking into sucha room. the furniture has a place. each decoration has a purpose. lines move and make sense from each object. colors belong, putting attention on good focal points. modern and minimal. curves, not corners. light, not darkness.

today we celebrated festivus in our office for all the Seinfeld fans out there. grievances were aired and the pole was erected. no tinsel and out boss was beating in a thumb wrestling match.

head East!

here are some blogs of people that i could know

a heart in flight sarah started this about a year ago as a new year's resolution thing that she was going to try to do. i think she made it until april. maybe march. she had a recent spurt, but i don't think it lasted very long.

'Am-ha'aretz Press
Isaiah has lot to say about Christianity. he tried to update it about once/twice a month. a lot of thinking is involved, unlike here

Blake Stratton Blake's website was made by Apples. it definitely has a few bugs, but again it's okay for the occasional update

Chandler Jo she started this blog when she moved to Kansas City to go to IHOP. she writes songs/poetry.

those are about the only ones that have a chance of being updated. i used to follow an 90 year old lady, but she doesn't blog anymore. she probably died. that is a phrase most people only think their children might say. so long as i don't have any children, i'll be okay... there were a couple of other trip blogs, one to france, another to south africa, new yourk, egypt, and all of north america. some were good, most weren't.

so if you have some that you think i should discover, let me know. i like feeling connected to others.

my top rated

thanksgiving was one of those good ones. there isn't any pressure to be good, give good, or have a perfect campfire. although, that really isn't a pressure for me, more like a talent derived from many moons of a smoky sky and dry timbers.

my grandma's house is a house of stories. i used to think that she had all this stuff, what looked like junk to me. well, i learned that she has a story for each and every item in her home. it could be that she took a class with her daughter and made it, or that she got it from Bud's 2nd marriage. (i have a great uncle named Bud.) i also have a couple of relatives that got married after both of their spouses died after 50 years of marriage. they have over 100 years of marriage between them. they are celebrating their 50 month anniversary. when the pastor told them they had to go to marriage consoling, they told him they have 100 years of marriage. he didn't make them go :) it is pretty neat hearing about all the stuff and where it came from.

my grandma wore jeans for the 1st time i can remember. my grandpa wouldn't let her wear jeans cause he had to wear bib overalls when he was a kid and hated it so much that he wouldn't let his wife wear jeans outside. strange, i know. my dad didn't have jeans until he was a senior in high school.

my playlist tonight has been relaxed. shremaxed to the pancakes!

lessons learned today:

so i got some glasses ordered. it's only been about a year since i broke my glasses. same frame, just new lenses. so i was asking around the office for a good optometrist, and peggy said i should go to her opto cause he was a christian and so he was ethical. i didn't understand why being a christian means that he should be ethical. being a christian is a belief, being ethical is an action. not related. so i asked somebody else and went to that one instead. i also would suggest that you not sign the disclosure statement about your medical history. it allows them to give away your medical info for many reasons, including marketing and advertising. i really don't want people to do that. k? k.

waiting for my mikey rolls to be done. delicious rolls, i hope they turn out well. hard to say if they will, but i'm trying. something very yummy about butter, sugar, and flour. that's right, i think that is the first time i've used the word yummy in this blog.

my grandkids will be thanking me someday for their good looks. and organ donors.

i got put on the Christmas party committee. here were my suggestions-

holiday hats. not just santa hats, but any friggin type of hat associated with Christmas. turbans, or crowns, or star hats. there should be prizes for biggest, longest, and smallest. kinda like pensis. yes, there should be a prize for the small guy too.

the obvious christmas sweater challenge. i went to get one from my local thrift store, but it has 5 holes in it. so now i have to go find another crappy sweater. i don't think anybody else is going to wear crappy christmas sweaters, but isn't that what this contest is all about? :) categories could be, most bells, most santas, and best christmas saying/logo

best decorated cubicle thing. categories include most christmas lights, most jesus' and most out of place oraments. things like a rocketship, or custom made ornaments like gay shepards going at it.

another competition would be the non-traditional christmas challenge. Hanukkah, Quanza, Ramadan, and the atheist christmas should all be allowed. the only 2 categories here are most effort and best Fail.

there you have it, my office Christmas competitions. cause that's Christmas.
