Screw everything.
I’m coming down with a cold. I will be sick on New Year’s Eve. As far as I know I haven’t killed any bunnies or raped any children recently, so this bad karma is really undeserved and poorly timed.

Dude... what?
I turned off the heat in my house when I left on Wednesday. I have just now returned home and it is actually warmer OUTSIDE than it is in my house.
Check this out. I saw it on the Explore page just now. Look familiar?
I’m now convinced that everyone on Tumblr is in confederacy against me. What makes it worse is that I actually had a dream last night in which I signed on to Tumblr and was delighted to see I had been reblogged a bunch of times. This is just salt in the wound.
Some guy just got featured on the Explore page for...

Work
loosegoose:
While all you little shits are drinking egg nog and wearing your Christmas sweaters with glee, I am stuck at work until 8pm. Everyone die.
The only people working on Christmas Day are the people doing very important jobs. So, wherever you are… thank you, and Merry Christmas.

Southpaws. Here’s an excerpt from si.com today:
“You really turn things into a left-handed game and play football that you don’t want to be playing unless you absolutely have to,” Vikings coach Brad Childress said. “We have a standard, in terms of guys touching it, protect it. We didn’t do a very good job.”
I was surprised at myself when I took offense....

ragbag:
“…i’d rather have sex with a bird’s nest.”
I hope that person doesn’t mind it that I’ll be using that phrase at the soonest possible appropriate moment and claiming it as my own. Although, my personal favorite is from George Carlin: “I wouldn’t fuck her with a stolen dick.”
My office is closing early today because of the storm; I suppose that just means I’ll be walking home in 8 inches of snow instead of 9.
Just another day in Rochester, NY
I went out and moved my car at 8am today. At that time, it was about 32 degrees and pleasant. Not a HALF HOUR later the temperature had actually dropped 5 degrees, the blustery winds had kicked up and the snow began to fall. You know, as if any one of those weather effects wasn’t bad enough by itself.
I have found out that all Rochester schools were closed this morning… BEFORE A...

911
kribs:
I called 911 and reported 3 accidents on the way to work,
got real sweaty shoveling the driveway this morning,
and hope the snow sticks around for this weekend!
Ugh, I just hope they plow my street. The South Wedge always gets screwed.
I have to say, though, that days like this make me appreciate being able to walk to work.

Bush had shoes thrown at his head during a press conference in Iraq. Here’s what I took away from it:
Bush, although getting on in age, is swift like a ninja at dodging flying foot paraphernalia.
I can understand the first, but how the hell did this guy get the second shoe thrown without getting taken down?
