Writer's Block: You Wouldn't Understand
"I like the kitties. They say, 'meow!'" You don't want to know. -
The test
The Jeopardy test didn't take me very long. They had fifteen questions- sorry, clues, to answer, with fifteen seconds to answer each one. The first ten I answered in probably about a minute. There were a few I had to pass on, and a few I guessed but know I got wrong. If I had to guess, I'd say I got between 35 and 40 of the 50 correct. They don't ( Read more... ) -
Thought I missed it
Jeopardy! is having its online test this week. I wanted to register, but with my work schedule I didn't think I'd be home in time to take it, because I thought they started the test at 7 pm each night. Fortunately, I just went to the site and learned each night is for a different time zone, and they all start at 8 each night (depending on the time ( Read more... ) -
My back hurts
I had to shovel yesterday. I didn't use good technique, so my back hurts today.
On an unrelated note: Fuck it all. -
Gran Torino
I visited my parents yesterday and stayed the night. We went to the city and had a good supper before going to see Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood is excellent in this movie. The ease with which he swears and throws out racial slurs is astounding. The racism in this movie is like blood in a Quentin Tarantino film: there's not five or ten minutes in the ( Read more... ) -
Interesting day
So, the high schoolers that came today were "troubled youth". I'm not sure if that meant they were just delinquents, or if a couple had mental problems as well. Of course, these days it's hard to tell between the two. Anyway, the kid that was following me around wouldn't keep his distance. All I had to do was talk about my job and be "inspirational ( Read more... ) -
Ick
I have to close tonight. I don't like closing. It sucks. I like going to work in the morning and getting home before the sun's down. A normal shift. The boss has been going through applications and they did a couple interviews last week, but I'm hoping they do more this week. I almost had to close tomorrow night, but I went in yesterday to discover ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday!
Happy b-day, Edgar Allen Poe! You share your birthday with MLK Jr. Totally unrelated, but it's a fact. You'd be two hundred years old if you were alive today. But considering your drinking habits, I doubt you'd be in very good shape if people could live that long ( Read more... ) -
Random thoughts
There's a new car commercial. Howie Long, former football player who now does Fox pre-game shows, has been in many car commercials. In this newest, he's with a little girl who keeps claiming to be a big girl. At the end, Howie's standing between her and the car. She points to it and says, "Now that's a big girl car." My problem is that she's ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Back to School
I'm glad I'm not the only one saying this, but I'd like to go to Bayside High School. Because there didn't seem to be a lot of repercussions for anything Zach Morris did. Except, every once in a while his brick of a cellphone was taken away by the dad that was only in about five episodes. Plus, Kelly in her cheerleading outfit, Jesse in her tight ( Read more... )
