THERE'S SOMETHING ODDLY SATISFYING... in sitting in the midst of 10,000 people, rooting for the "wrong team", and winning a basketball game.
Go Wildcats!
I recently had to renew my rental insurance. I feel out a 40 page questionniare with things like "How far is the closest fire hydrant? Answering fire station? What kind of roof do you have? What year was your dwelling built? What are the walls made of?
No where did it ask how many appliances I plug into one outlet?
Let's start with saying I live in a very old apartment. It has one functioning phone jack in my house and it's taped to the wall. Into this jack I have a 2-way which is split between my DSL connection and a DSL filter. I have another two-way split feeding out of that in order to plug in the phone and the answering machine. Each one of these has an electrical cord I need to plug in but the closest one is in the next room and requires an extension cord. I use the other slot for my alarm clock. Across the room I use an extension cord to plug in the TV, antenna, and iron. In the living room I need to connect my TV, VCR, DVD player, laptop, antenna, and lamp into two outlets. I've managed to use only one extension cord in that room. In the kitchen there's a stove, fridge, bread machine, coffee maker, coffee grinder, and a lamp. Someone suggested I get a microwave. I really don't feel comfortable plugging that into the one remaining slot in my extension cord. So let's see - that's 2 two-way phone splits, three extension cords, and an entire box of staples for my staple gun.
I took the boys to a Clippers game the other night. The first half was pretty slow and uneventful but the second half was quite entertaining. Maybe it was the combination of a 32 oz. Mountain Dew for each of the kids and sleep depravation or maybe it was just the realization that if they danced they would get put on the big screen but I'm surprised they didn't just explode through the ceiling before the end of the game. They were such cool cats they ended up on the screen not once, not twice, but four times just jammin' away. After the game people kept coming up to them and saying, "Hey, your the little dudes on tv." It was pretty cool. So cool my youngest has declared himself "The Biggest Clippers Fan".
Lame Lines
I like to be wild.
Have I mentioned I'm married?
I like a woman in lingerie.
I don't cook.
My last girlfriend hung me out to dry.
Let's go watch a movie.
That's gross! (especially if your talking about my dinner)
Very quiet.
We've been focusing and doing what's right over here. It seems to suck all the imagination right out of me. The boys started their savings account and this woman with absoutely no personality helped us. Let's just say that when I'm 55 I want to remember how to smile. The boys also got new haircuts. Greggory now has very fashionable short spiked hair and Brylan opted for the buzz. He figures the reason people with no hair are called bald is because their head looks like a ball. Greggory got new shoes but we had to go to the women's section to find a pair of shoes that were comfortable AND black. Apparently size 4 1/2 is very hard to find. Of course, I don't know anything about men's sizing. Is there a size 4 1/2?
