Thoughts, 3.3
“That was totally wicked!!!”
---That kid at the end of “The Incredibles”
Man, I was gonna go to the gym, but I’ve already sweated through my shirt thanks to that Sox/Yanks game today. And yes, you all actually DID need that imagery, thanks for wondering that aloud.
Now I get to go home, cook some dinner, and watch the best one-two punch on TV: “Lost” and “Alias”. We find out on “Lost” if Claire’s giving birth to a boy, a girl, the Messiah, an alien, or a hybrid SUV (anything’s possible at this point). We find out on “Alias” if anyone on the writing staff remembers that the first three years centered around Rimbaldi as much as Sydney and Sloane.
But that game---I’d love to find out the last time Mariano Rivera was knocked out of a game in under an inning. Just can’t imagine it’s happened too often in the last decade. And we have Slappy McBluelips' error to thank for that! Rock. An amazing way to win. Helped my productivity at work, um, zero, but I’d like to think there’s something endearing about me talking to my computer screen for the last 45 minutes of the game. I’d like to think that because alternative theories all seem to peg me as a pathetic loser. And I learned at my company’s stress management class today that negative thoughts such as that lead to self-fulfilling prophecies.
Then again, the woman running the training managed to slip in the phrase “chandelier-swinging sex” at some theoretically relevant moment, so let’s take all the prophecy stuff in the context of the source. (I’d love to break down the seminar, but somehow I think that’s a bad idea. It’s hardly posting pictures of myself in a stewardess uniform, but it’s work-related and while I have a few thousand words’ of thoughts on it, I best keep them to myself.)
So, nothing about that for today, sadly. I know you’re all really sad and stuff. If you are, go here and download the most recent episode of “South Park”, which managed to blend two recent fiascos: the release of the Sony PSP and the release of Terri Shiavo’s feeding tube. Just sheer genius. “Basically…he’s like a Keanu Reeves”. Heh.
