kinder, gentler fortune cookie? 2001-05-25 Francisco and I went out for Chinese food at lunch, and in my fortune cookie was the lamest fortune Ever. It said, "Don't forget, you are always on our minds." Dude, that's not even a fortune; that's....I don't know What that is. It's like from the cookie fortune stalker series. I encourage you to share any lame fortunes you've received, either on my guestbook or via email, just for the entertainment value. I save all my fortunes because someday I plan to decoupage them onto a red lacquered box--I think it would look cool--and this particular fortune is going to go on the box in a very visible area. Well, my parents will be disappointed to know that I gave someone The Finger this morning. Sorry Mom and Dad. I feel it was entirely justified; see what you think. I was in a 55 mph zone--not on the freeway but on a two lane highway--and I was going 60. A BMW was tailgating me pretty closely, and then I had to slow down to 50mph because there were slow people in front of me, and that damn BMW was right on my ass. For 5 miles maybe. I tried the old brake pumping thing, but he would not get the message, so I endured him for awhile, and then it's like my hand took on a life of it's own and raised and there was The Finger, in all it's pointy glory. The guy may not even have seen it, and it sure didn't make him stop tailgaiting me, but it made me feel ever so slightly better. For the record, I almost Never use The Finger. Seriously. It doesn't make any situation better, and plus I don't trust people not to become road raged and try to kill me. People seem to be always on the edge nowadays. I'm really excited about the three day weekend. Lots of people in my office have left already, and the remaining people don't want to do any work. I'm with them on that, but if I don't do any work this afternoon it will just make next week harder. I think I'll have a diet dr. pepper, and perhaps that will inspire me. No major plans for the weekend. Francisco has rented 'Best in Show' for us to watch tonight, and I am totally looking forward to it, because I've wanted to see it since it was released. Otherwise this weekend we have the yard sale tomorrow, and that is the only concrete plan, but it's in the back of my mind to actually no kidding for real this time strip the wallpaper off the kitchen walls. I've said I was going to do it before, but I've never followed through. This might truly be the weekend; one never knows. Francisco is talking some big talk about putting in the new flooring on the upstairs bathroom, and if he's going to do a house project then I really should too. Peer pressure. Every time I turn on my radio today, the Dave Matthews Band is playing. I have griped before about my dislike for Dave Matthews's voice, and for some reason the universe has decided to foist him on me today; repeatedly. Smartass universe, but it did just make up for it by playing Alice in Chains. I can't tell you how much I love them. I believe I am out of material for right now, so bye and love,
