From A to A

Started trying to listen to the artists on my ipod in order and the band Afghan Whigs still rocks my socks after all these years.

I will be very proud of myself if I can manage to get past C with this little experiment.

One Angry Man

I came across this affidavit this morning and had to laugh. It looks like a joke, but in my experience people do get this testy about jury duty, they just don't put it in writing to the Court.

Heather and I actually have a wall of shame at the office that is filled with things we've come across that made us laugh. This has been placed among the other documents, which include a rental application in which an applicant lists the reason for leaving his former address as "followed a girl" and a photo of a unit taken at the time of the tenant's move-out. The photo is of the unit's bathroom and documents all of the items that were left behind including a pair of BVDs in the center of the room. The underwear is arranged in a way that we imagine the Sheriff was pounding at the door and someone literally jumped out of their BVDs and ran. Actaully, now that I think about it that may be more sad than funny.

I'll give you something to swine about...

Quite frankly I am just plain tired of the media hysteria that has ensued over the last few days with respect to the Swine Flu. Don't get me wrong, pandemics are serious, but in this particular instance rather than fanning the paranoia flames, perhaps we should be putting this strain into perspective. Did you know each year 36,000 people in the U.S. die of complications related to the standard flu? To date, one person in the U.S. has died due to Swine Flu.

Did you also know that the World Health Organization was expecting this, apparently we were past due for a pandemic since they occur ever few years. Luckily, it was caught fairly early and it's epicenter is Mexico rather than a third world country without the means of containing the spread of the strain.

Bottom line, all y'all media peeps need to chill.

Sarah's Lesson for Today

You should not try and change your office's water cooler bottle while wearing heels.

Also, it is helpful if you work in an office where you are neither the youngest person employed nor surrounded by coworkers who are men with "bad backs".

Drink up people...

More Hodge Podge

I caught the last 15 minutes of the AMC show Breaking Bad yesterday night. In those few minutes there was a severed head riding a turtle and a dismembering landmine explosion. Which makes me think I really ought to start watching this show consistently again.

I was in the elevator this morning and this older lady asked me if I was real. I half expected the Olivia Newton John song Magic to start playing. I told her I don't understand what you mean. Then she pointed to her hair. Oh, I responded, yes, my hair color is pretty much real. Then she replied in disbelief, but your Japanese. I did not know what to say. Luckily the door opened on the bottom floor and we went our separate ways. An odd encounter, to say the least.

I have had cable for a few weeks and the best thing I have seen is this commercial:



That's all for now...
