It’s the weekend.
And that’s almost never a bad thing.

Last night’s coffee was good. We had a decent turn-out: , , , , , , , Maddox and Cherry. There was some guy who kept trying to solicit customers for… something. Fortunately, Matthew (the on-duty manager) stopped him just as he was approaching our table; he sent him on his merry way. But the guy came back in a short while later. Some peoples’ children…

After coffee, most of us headed to Applebee’s for a late-night bite to eat. And Coronas. Amen. Dinner conversation was as random as ever. That’s just one of the benefits of having an eclectic group of friends.

Last night’s sleep was… not fitful, but a little broken last night. I had a really weird dream sometime after 7:00 this morning.

We had been driving north along I-15 and had made the exit onto Route 201, westbound. Next to us was a tractor-trailer with an extended load. A very extended load. Six trailers. (That may have been the east coaster in my subconscious having a bit of fun with me: Trucks are allowed no more than two trailers east of the Mississippi River.) As we completed the “turn” onto 201, the truck pulled ahead of us… and the trailers came unhitched. I woke up just as one of the trailers slammed into the barrier wall between lanes and spilled its contents on the road in front of the car.

I woke up a little agitated. I managed to get back to sleep a short while later.

I can’t explain it, other than possession by the spirit of either Benson (one of my all-time favorite shows) or Geoffrey (from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), but I have been on a bit of a cleaning binge today. It’s been sporadic, but I have made progress. I even managed to find a few more things to donate to Deseret Industries (The LDS Church’ equivalent of Goodwill Industries). Hoo-AH! There are still the kitchen and living room to tackle… not to mention my bathroom… but they might wait until tomorrow. *shrug* We’ll see.

Stray Toasters

  • : You pointing and telling me where to clean is NOT the same as you cleaning up for me.
  • isn’t coming down this weekend after all. *sigh* But she has inaugurated a new section in her posts: Junk in the Trunk, her version of ‘Stray Toasters.’
  • …speaking of whom, she sent me this: Do Penis Enlargement Pills Work.
    Exercises! *cracks up*
    Comedy. Pure comedy.

  • Sissy is curled up and sleeping on a box.
  • Xena seems to be feeling better. Finally. She’s still a little dodgy about taking her medicine, but on the whole, she’s been more responsive and a bit more active. This is definitely a good thing.
  • The Dot Game
  • I have mp3s from The Ad Hog Camerata – Grunt: Pigorian Chant in which “barnyard animals” sing Gregorian-style chants. In Latin. It’s bizarre, but oddly amusing.
  • MTV2 (or the MTV that still remembers what a “music video” is) aired their “Controversial Videos” show earlier. Smack My Bitch Up was the topmost controversial video. At least, it was when this program originally aired. I haven’t been keeping up on cutting edge/bleeding edge videos, so there’s a chance that there’s a new challenger to the throne out there.
  • The world is not enough
    But it is such a perfect place to start, my love…
    I like the video for this song, too.

  • Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was on HBO earlier, too. I watched the last few minutes of it. That was plenty.
  • To cleanse my mental palette, I watched an episode of Jonny Quest on Boomerang. That made everything in the world all right once more.

Back to the cleaning fest…

Namaste.
