Today was Mallday. I know what you’re going to say: “Isn’t Mallday on Friday?” And, normally, it is. But, four of the Mallday gang work together and they have a company luncheon to attend, so….. Mallday = Thursday. Q.E.D.

And, I almost missed it.

Angie called me at 11 to ask if I was going to Mallday. Oh, yeah… I was still asleep and had no clue that Mallday had been moved to today. I told her this, but that I would try to make it. And with that, I hung up….. and fell asleep.

I woke up again at 11:50. Mallday was at 12:30. Oh, joy. I was up, showered, shaved and gone in :25. I was shocked, but then I remembered that it is much easier to get motivated for something that you enjoy or want to do as opposed to something like… oh…. I don’t know…. WORK! Mallday was good, even though there weren’t any quality mullet sightings. Found out that the Warner Brothers Studio Store in the mall is going to close relatively soon; I’ve known that it was going to close, but I didn’t know when. The actual date is still up in the air, but it seems like it will be in the next month or two. Which means that I have to figure out how to allocate funds for a lithograph that I want. *sigh*

The rest of the day was rather run-of-the-mill:

  • Came back from Mallday…
  • Prepared my lunch and work clothes…
  • Sat around and wasted a couple of hours…
  • Went to (yet another uneventful day at) work…
  • Came home.

Tomorrow, I will find out if I will finally get out of dialup Hell. NOTE: Dante mentions the Nine Circles of Hell in The Divine Comedy: Inferno; I think that the only reason that he didn’t mention the Tenth Circle of Hell is because there were no dialup connections in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries. Of course, there was no “Internet,” either, so I probably shouldn’t bitch about this one too much. I’ve been stuck in the slow lane for… *counts the endless string of days*…. six months. No, it’s not long in “Gilligan’s Island” or “Cast Away” time, but in the “must-have-it-now” culture in which we live, it’s an eternity. Before moving to the new apartment, I had a DSL connection.; it wasn’t the fastest DSL on the market, but it was faster than dialup. And it was always on. And it was mine. :::insert maniacal laughter here::: Tomorrow, a tech from Sprint will come and hopefully tell me that by the time he or she leaves, I will have Sprint Broadband service. Mental Note: Think up some terrible torture just in case he (or she) decides to show a little backbone and tell me that I can’t get it here.

With that in mind, I should probably call it a night so that I am not a zombie when he arrives. Zombie. Hmm… Zombie songs.

  • Thriller – Michael Jackson
  • Zombie – The Cranberries
  • Zombie Jamboree – Rockapella

Ok, making random connections like that is a sign that I definitely need sleep. And with that….

Peace.
