Please send help…

I have meetings from 10-3 and 4-5. Despite working Saturday and Sunday, I have not finished all the work that was due on Friday. And some that is due today. Including a report for my 1:30 meeting. Which I will be late to because my meetings actually OVERLAP!!

No fun. No productivity. Hopefully I’ll do something extremely embarrassing during one of these meetings, so at least I’ll get some blog fodder out of the day. Chances are fair to middling.

Better go get my Dr. Pepper now.

Up in the midnight blue…

Since today was so exciting, as to give me very few stories to tell, I am going to give some music. I worked today. From home, mostly, but I am going into the office tomorrow. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance, and so I am working on the weekend. It will be better soon.

When I stopped for my 44oz Dr Pepper, some guy walked into the am/pm, approached me at the ATM and said, "can I have the keys to the restroom?"

"Ummm… I don’t work here."

"Oh… I thought that was the cash register."

"Oy."

That’s it. See? So, I’m going to play Thea Gilmore’s "Pirate Moon" from her CD Avalanche for you. And you will be haunted by her voice and go out and buy it. If that doesn’t work, let me know, and I’ll play "Razor Valentine" for you. Then you will be powerless against her!!

music, work

It was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today.

I have found myself constantly updating Dr. Stevil on the Monkee’s emotional state, throughout the day. As well as relaying some of my favorite anecdotes and colloquiums. So, for his sanity and mine, I put my headphones and set iTunes on shuffle.

Random tunes played while I attempted to regain my sanity:

Paradise By The Dashboard Light from the album “Bat Out Of Hell” by Meat Loaf

Wild Honey from the album “All That You Can’t Leave Behind” by U2

I Miss You from the album “Post” by Bjork

The Interlocutor from the album “Hot” by Squirrel Nut Zippers

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow from the album “Blow In The Wind” by Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

Relax from the album “Welcome To The Pleasuredome” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) from the album “The Best Of Aretha Franklin” by Aretha Franklin

Raiders Of The Lost Ark Main Theme by John Williams

jeff Buckley – Last Goodbye from the album “Vanilla Sky” by Jeff Buckley

Mozart – Larghetto (06.2 by Ambrosio String Quartet)

Make Mayan A Hawaiian from the album “Dirt Track Date” by Southern Culture on the Skids

Oh I do enjoy singing along with the nice Mr. Loaf.

50 Word Fictions

50 Word Fiction Friday Vol. II

When come back, bring pie.

He knew it was a bad idea, but after months of nagging, he gave in, he let them fix him up. Standing in her kitchen, uncomfortable, avoiding her gaze, he wondered if his friends knew about her more prurient insterests. It seemed like such a waste of a good pie.

Yes, I cheated. I bumped the post time up to a minute past midnight so I could go to bed. I’m going to be freaked out busy tomorrow, and I wanted to make sure I got a fifty word fiction up. Feel free to write one too, but don’t forget the challenge.

Comment problems

Weird comment problems on all my blogs. You may receive “precondition failed” errors. That means you used a naughty word like “sexy.” I’m working on getting it fixed.

The first bookclub selection has been chosen, over at Satan’s Bookclub. I’ve also added two mail lists for bookclub info and review announcements. Check it!

If you would like to participate in tomorrow’s 50 word fiction, please do! A challenge has been issued, however. The story must use the word “prurient.”

evildeb

There is normal, and then there is Evildeb

A comment from DrinkJack reminded me to tell you where EvilDeb is right now.

“>Secure facility, hummmm, there should be video of this. EvilDeb, can you get it?”

No, Jack, she cannot get video, she is not at work. She is at Disneyland, with AlmostCertainlyGoingToEndUpEvilMaggie and MoreThanSlightlyEvilJacob. A.C.G.T.E.U.EvilMaggie’s primary daycare providers, her grandparents, are in Africa. So Lloyd and Evildeb each took some time off, to take turns caring for her day. Lloyd took a week and two days off. He took Maggie to Enumclaw. Evildeb took three days off, she had to go to Disneyland.

Last week, we had a chat that when something like this:

Evildeb: I want to GO somewhere when I am at home with Maggie.

Jodi: Like where? The zoo? Orcas Island? The mall?

Evildeb: like disneyland.

Jodi: ha! well sure, but….

Jodi: besides, you were just there.

Evildeb: last september.

Jodi: yeah, exactly. and you went to vegas.

Evildeb: in january.

Jodi: yeah, exactly. I am sure there is lots of stuff you can find to do to keep you busy for three days.

<Evildeb: maybe 🙁

And I thought that was it, she would come up with a rational, less costly plan. But no. Our girl simply cannot be idle. And anywhere else is better than wherever she is. I suppose she also wanted sunshine. But the sun is shining here, right now. She flew M.T.S.EvilJacob out from college to join them, as well.

But I enjoy this trait in Evildeb. It makes me seem relatively sane, financially. I try to reciprocate by wigging out in different ways for her, that make her feel better about herself, as well.

Thanks for the koi, Fee

My goodness but I am sore today. My first meeting of the day was at 8am, on the other side of the building. I was late. I could not be made to move faster than a gentle stroll. I have another meeting in 23 minutes, which I am hoping I can participate in from the floor, where I will be lying. Jeez’m rice, how was I supposed to know that I was going to be doing pilates? I am looking forward to getting my ball next week, as I think I’d enjoy using it as a desk chair and bouncing up and down all day, bouncing is almost as fun as spinning, which is a close second to rocking back and forth, in terms of “things to do when sitting in an office chair that won’t get you fired and yet keep you from going out of your mind.”

I don’t even have anything interesting to say, today. I am too sore to be entertaining. I’m going to try some of that Arnica cream when I get home. But I can’t even reach all my sore places. I’m going to have to stop, on the way home for the vodka, Kailua and cream. Because I know that THAT will reach everywhere. Isn’t there an “h” in kailua somewhere?
