Tuesday

So things with work here in Illinois have taken a turn for the worse. Less hours, doing less, sitting around more. I'm failing to see the point of it all at the moment. I don't mind traveling, though sometimes it because annoying, but traveling twice a week to be back in Little Rock for less than 48 hours.. that is just crappy. And I'm doing the same thing, sitting in the same chair, living in the same hotel room.. since the end of July. I've had 2 weeks where I wasn't here. That is just crap. I would much rather do other stuff, though it would probably be the same, at least I would get to share in the stories that at the moment I only hear about. Stupid work.

Anyways, my Specialized should be coming in anytime now. I'm very excited about that. It is going to be so sweet. I can't wait. Still haven't decided what wheels to get.. maybe Ksyrium SSC SLs, just since everyone has them.. or perhaps a pair of carbon racing wheels, I just can't decided. Maybe both. HA. No.. I can't justify that. :(

Ok, I'm outta here.. drop a comment if you got any ideas how to make the tedium of Illinois better. The best 5 suggestions will be placed into a hat and one will be picked. That activity, whatever it may be will be undertaken some week when I'm up here and need a change.

Later

I'm starting to think my Ksyriums look really obnoxious. Maybe you should get some really understated wheels.

Suggestion 1: Find somewhere Sean can get a cheap wheelset (700C), crankset, and 1977 Schwinn Surburban-compatable bottom bracket all on the cheap. I would also like a brown Brooks saddle, a plastic rocket, and a pony. :P

Suggestion 2: MMORPGs are the ultimate time sinks. Fire up WoW.

Suggestion 3: Get a banjo or harmonica and learn to play.

Suggestion 1: Marathon autoerotica asphyxiation.

Suggestion 2: Not dying from Suggestion 1.

(verification word: SAIXCE which is enough like SEXY that i am assured that the blogger gods are on my side.)

Suggestion Beta 7: Make a run... for the border.

XMORWL, the current verification word, sounds like a SAUCY, TAWNY cat sound, but a fake one that probably a FURRY would CREATE.

Suggestion, Charlie Niner, There's One On Your Six: Dress up like an anthropomorphic cat or ocelot or bear or seal or something and go to conventions of like-minded people. Bask in your glorious social-misfitoria. Make friends with sexual deviants of all genders, creeds, colors, species (fake), lifestyles (fake), dragons (real), dragons (fake), and policemen. Burn them.

(i dont know why i capitalized things at random in the middle paragraph)

I have enjoyed all the suggestions thus far, except for Beta 7. which I LOVE, much like the ocelots and fake dragons.

Joey.. I found something you might like, though it'll probably disgust you and make you want to go take a shower after you read it. After your "marathon autoerotica asphyxiation" suggestion I thought of it.

Warning, you might not want to copy and paste this link unless you are Joey.

And it isn't a picture or anything.

holy crap that was gross out awesome.

the verification word agrees: CUTCKPJX, soon to be the title of palanuik's next book.

Dave said...

Hmmm, gross out awesome, yes... that is a good way to describe it. Sort of made me a little uncomfortable. Also.. I don't think I'm ever going to go in a pool again.

i can't help but agree with liz: with a caveat like that, i couldn't help but click the link. pathetically enough, however, i had somehow read that before. ugh.

Upbubcr your vfpexf with my btezgczw!

It is as if I were speaking Welsh.

Dave said...

Yeah, I figured giving a warning would just make everyone that much more curious. But, at least i warned you. So enjoyably disturbing. The story is out of Palahniuk's newest novel "Haunted" of which I have a copy sitting on my shelf right now. I'm quite excited to see what other stories are in it.

Hmm, do you think Welsh hackers could right a program that would allow blog spamming? I hope not.

J Williams said...

the welsh are a dangerous people.

i can't even spell my verification word this time. holy crap. google is trying to break me.

it might be: qthqpehj. we'll see. if not, i'll post the next one too. god, this is so thrilling.
