“Paint the White House Black”
everyday glory February 1st, 2007Thursday – 01 February 2007
I was apparently very tired last night – I hit the rack before 2:00. I noticed that I was getting tired while patrolling Paragon City. I wound up turning off the alarm this morning and staying in bed for another… hour, I think. Despite the iPod pumping out The Crüxshadows in the kitchen. *shrug* No big deal. I was still in the office – granted, it was the SLC office – a little after 8:30.
The race with the monkeys wasn’t bad, with one exception: One “I should have left ten minutes ago” monkey decided that the best place for him to be was two feet off my rear bumper. Oh, well. When I got out of that lane, he zoomed past me… only to be slowed by a much larger vehicle. Poor monkey.
When I got in, I fixed a pot of coffee. While I was waiting for it to brew, a couple of coworkers came into the break room. For the fourth day in a row, I’m wearing a tie. Coworker #1 finally decided to comment on this:
Coworker 1: You must work at a Wal-Mart in the morning before you come here….”
Me: No. (very blank, calm expression; level tone of voice)
Coworker 1: Interview…?  (the typical office half-joking tone and expression)
Me: No.
Coworker 1: Just looking nice?
Me: Change of pace.
Coworker 2: Eastern upbringing. (We’ve talked a bit about where I’m from and the East/West Coast differences.)
Coworker 1: Ohhh….
Me:Â *mental facepalm*
And the morning rolls on…

Last night,Â
[19:26]
: Sup.
[19:26]: Not a whole lot here. You?
[19:26]: Watching Chapelles Show.
[19:26]: Just ate.
[19:27]: I need to eat.
[19:27]: So tell the servants to fire up the hearth, and slaughter one of your finest lambs.
[19:29]: But lamb is getting to be so… gauche.
[19:29]: Well, you could always order a pizza.
[19:29]: There is that option.
[19:30]: Not to change the subject, but what do you think of this Obama dude.
[19:30]: I was actually leaning towards either a burrito from Barbacoa…. or a Teriyaki chicken combo from Edo.
[19:30]: Honestly: I am not entirely sure that he should run.
[19:30]: No?
[19:30]: He doesn’t have the chops yet.
[19:31]: He’s been a senator for what…. five minutes?
[19:31]: lmao.
[19:31]: Honestly, I like Hillary more than I like him.
[19:31]: And really…I just cant see President Barack Hussein Obama.
[19:32]: I don’t have anything against him. I just think that he should get a little more political clout – and know how – under his belt first.
[19:33]: Right, I think that is how I feel. Nothing against him, but nothing really FOR him either.
[19:34]: The best thing, for both of them, would be to run as a joint ticket.
[19:34]: Yes, they will most likely lose….
[19:34]: Hmm. that would be historical.
[19:34]: …but the experience for both of them would be phenomenal.
[19:34]: The first female president with the first black vice-president.
[19:34]: And, it lines them both up for a run in 2012
[19:35]: Frankly, they will split the Dem vote if they run separately.
[19:35]: But they would still be running aginst each other.
[19:35]: I could support a ticket with him as Vice.
[19:35]: Actually, Edwards – Obama wouldn’t be bad.
[19:36]: That would be better.
[19:36]: But unless she screws up, I really see Hillary being the Dem candidate.
[19:36]: Not sure.
[19:36]: There’s still a bad taste in some peoples’ mouths, no pun intended, from Bill.
[19:37]: Oh yeah. He couldnt show his face anywhere NEAR Hillary during her campagn.
[19:37]: I need to run. Can we pick this up a little later?
[19:38]: Sure.
[19:38]: Exactly.
[19:38]: Albatross Bill.
[19:38]: Lster.
[19:38]: Namaste.
[19:38]: Later.

“I’ll take care of this.”
I’m still laughing about this one… - By way of
: Don’t Shoot the Puppy - Coworker Matt was running into a problem yesterday. I deployed Cthulhu Assault Shocktroopers to handle it.
- By way of
: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?  “Try to break this record?!” - X-Men artwork
- …speaking of the X-Men: Below is a copy of the cover of Uncanny X-Men #141: The Days of Future Past (great alternate future storyline…. that has since been bastardized and abused). Take a look at Wolverine’s hair.  Then, take a look at the poster behind him and Kitty, find Beast and look at his hair.
They have the same hair. Notice also that while Mr. Logan is running around – claws out, no less – Dr. McCoy is listed as “slain.” My money says that Wolverine saw that Beast was trying to cop his style – and styling products – and had him offed. Or did the deed himself.
- Derek showed me The Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah video. Not bad.
Time to go pick up and put down heavy things.
Namaste.
