Ah, and now it’s that point of the day where the call volume at work convulses and dies, and I have time to reflect about how I wish I had a beer in my hand.

The impending weekend is especially welcome as I’ve been a little out of it all day today. I stood in the elevator in the parking garage today for a full minute before I realized I wasn’t moving. The doors opened again and my manager stepped in. She looked at me askance while I dumbly stared back.

“Forgot to select a floor?” she asked.

“Yep,” I said.

She nodded. “It happens.”

Yeah, not my finest moment.

The highlight of my day, though, was the guy striking a very heroic pose — shoulders proudly squared, hands on hips — as he used the restroom. Like seeing Superman piss into a urinal. It would have been weird had it not been so funny.

So yeah. As the kids are wont to say these days, “Thank Cthulhu it’s Friday.”

As Funny as a Screen Door on a Battleship

June 12th, 2011 at 5:25 pm | Daylog, Mobile Transmissions

Going to the Funny Bone tonight to see Thomas Wilson (Biff Tannen of the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy) perform. I am secretly hoping that Old Biff will show up to harangue his younger self and give him a mysterious gift.

That, or, for a grand finale, I’d settle for watching him wreck a ’46 Ford convertible into a manure cart on the main street of the Greene.

Not Paris

That’s not the real Eiffel Tower, obviously. I’m at King’s Island for the day. Haven’t been in five years. Hopefully I won’t die of heatstroke.

In the Sharing Mood

February 3rd, 2011 at 9:04 pm | Mobile Transmissions

The pinky toe on my right foot is completely numb, and has been so for over an hour.

Earlier today, I slipped on the ice and smacked my head against the mailbox, then hurt my wrist as I caught myself. Both head and wrist have been throbbing for the last several hours. Yet of the three, right now my stupid, numb little toe is annoying me the most.

Just thought I’d share.

You Must Confront Vader

The glowing head of Darth Vader stands a silent watch upon the entrance to my apartment.

Beware all ye — Jedi or Rebel alike — who enter.

Celtic Festival

July 31st, 2010 at 4:37 pm | Daylog, Mobile Transmissions

Last night I attended the Celtic Festival with Sarah. I hadn’t been for a couple of years. The festival seems to have tripled in size since the last time I was there two years ago. It now takes up multiple city blocks, and there are two pavillions for music, as opposed to only one before. The things I liked about the festival hadn’t changed though. Gaelic Storm put on an excellent show, as usual, and there was plenty of beer.

Actually, those are the only two things necessary for me to have a good time.

From A Thrift Store Restroom

July 20th, 2010 at 2:06 pm | Mobile Transmissions

I snapped this last week in the restroom of a thrift store. It’s a section of the wallpaper. Several creative individuals had added word balloons over some of the golfers, which boasted bits of clever dialogue such as, "Your dressed like a fag," plus a whole slew of quotes from HAPPY GILMORE.

Me, I was just jealous of the gentlemen golfers’ awesome attire.
