“Between the proudest words…”
everyday glory January 24th, 2002Wednesday.
I was talking to Julia, shortly after getting to work, and explaining how I wanted to leave today, but since I had “stayed all day yesterday and Tuesday….” Then it hit me: Yesterday was Tuesday. Send out the search parties – my sense of time has gone bye-bye.
Otherwise, it was a fairly uneventful day. We worked until 15:00, were sent to lunch, and then had a three-hour training session. After that, two more hours of keying and then it was hometime! During the last two hours, Julia and I came up with more mixed-up titles (although we didn’t limit ourselves to just songs), including:
- J.R.R. Tolkein & Richard Wagner: Lord of the Ring of the Niebelung
- Pat Benatar & Movie Title: Hell is for Children of a Lesser God
- Stephen Crane & the Brothers Grimm: The Little Red Riding Hood of Courage
- Ernest Hemingway & Nestlè: For Whom the Bell Tollhouse Cookies
- Bon Jovi & Smashing Pumpkins: Living on a Bullet with Butterfly Wings and a Prayer
- Shakespeare & Poison: Much Ado About Nothin’ but a Good Time
- Motley Crue, Genesis… and a carnival barker: Girls, Girls, Girls, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight!!!
- John Steinbeck & Barry Sonnenfeld: Of Mice and Men in Black
What can I say…? We were a little bored.
Quote of the Day: Dee, Lynn and I were attempting to explain the vagaries of a certain phrase to Rick during a break. He asked if it was a common saying; Dee told him that it depended on where you are (geographically).
- Rick: “So, we could say it…?”
Dee, Lynn and I: *nearly-hysterical laughter*
Dee: “Once.” *laughs* “It’s hard to say through wired teeth and a halo.”
And that’s all for tonight, I’m tapped (1 blue mana, 3 colorless).
Peace.
