The Surreal Life
Mar. 16th, 2004 09:12 amI'm beginning to suspect the world is just a really weird place.
Case #1: The television in our living room is possessed. No, seriously. It turns itself on randomly, channels flipping by about one a second. If we go turn it off, it will turn itself on withint a matter of minutes. It doesn't do this all the time, either, just once or twice a day at most, and not even every day. I'd say a neighbor has a remote that also matches our TV, but unless they do nothing but channel surf at a very regular speed, that's not it. There's no remotes hidden in the couch either. So, we have decided the set is possessed. So sleep is possible, we unplug the thing at night so as to deprive the TV demon of its power.
Case #2: It's snowing. It's March 16th, and it's snowing. Well, now it's raining, but it only recently changed over after snowing its butt off all morning.
Case #3: My blue jeans are so loose, they only stay up by hanging on my hips. My black jeans, same brand, same size, fit perfectly.
Case #4: I have had the same @#$#ing illness for a month now. The sinus infection is gone, only to be replaced by a whopping case of bronchitis. Evidently I have a fever too, according to my visit to the doctor (again) yesterday. Feh. On yet more breast-cancer inducing antibiotics to try and clear this crap out of my lungs so my coworkers will stop bitching.
Case #5: We had to get new mini-blinds, thanks to the cats. We found nothing sized 45x72 at Walmart or -either- of the two Home Depots near us. We could have bought $30 blinds and had them cut down, at best. We bought them from the apartment complex instead for $15 a pop. I've decided they have shady underground black market blinds deal going on.
Case #6: I realized I actually like cottage cheese on baked potatoes better than sour cream.
These next few weeks will see me kind of invisible, I'm afraid. I'm going to be alternately in NY when my brother comes home or working some serious overtime at work, with a gazillion meetings and marketing events to take care of between now and the first week of April. Wish me luck! Virtual hugs to you all!
