Wednesday
Woke up this morning to… whatever was playing on the radio. The next thing that I know, my phone is ringing. And it’s a good thing that I heard it… because when I looked at the clock, it was over an hour later! It was my dad; he was calling to tell me that he’d received the itinerary for the trip to OSU.

Then it was work-prep time. And then, work.

After work, Jess and I were off to m3l and Darren’s for dinner (turkey, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, salad). Larry, Carson, Nise (Carson’s wife), and Scott were there. After dinner, we got into the topic of cartoons and other shows that we watched many rains past. We had a good time. And it was fun watching Bonkers (m3l’s cat, who looks like she could be Xena and Sissy’s triplet) go neurotic while chasing the red light from the laser pointer. We were also scarred while watching Darren and m3l make some superhero dolls (the kind that you get out of those ‘claw’ machines at restaurants and stores) do ‘weird’ and ‘naughty’ and ‘weird & naughty’ things to each other…. while making Teletubbies’ sounds. ‘Surreal‘ doesn’t even begin to cover it.

And after work: EverCrack!

Quote of the Day (per Dee’s request): Dee, Lynn and I were in the break room during one of our breaks and (surprise) EverQuest came up. Dee asked me something about my character which I didn’t remember (It’s been probably a year since I have played with anything that even remotely resembles ‘regularity.’ And even that might be an overstatement…) I told him that I didn’t remember what the answer was to what he asked…

Lynn: What do you mean you ‘don’t remember?!?’ What the Hell’s wrong with you?

Me (dejected and pitiful look, deadpan delivery): I’m a jackass and a stupid idiot.

And that’s it for tonight.

Peace.
