Once again fortune has humped my leg

Monday, December 10, 2007

Ah, forget it. I'm just going to start posting on a more regular basis and assume people are reading. I mean, after all, I did get 4 people who said they still read--and only 50% of them are related to me! I'm sure if Julia could type, she would have added her input.

In honor of my revived dedication to blogging, I'm gonna give this post 100%. Most of the others have topped out at about 84%. Don't you judge me. It's hard to come up with new material on a regular basis. Just ask the columnists at the Times. They understand my plight.

Let me offer the following observations:

1. I received this in the mail last week:

I hope you all can read the options that one is supposed to check, because I'm laughing too hard to type them. Okay, fine-they say:

[ ] I prayed and trusted Jesus after reading this letter

[ ] I would like to join a bible study

[ ] I have more questions

[ ] Please call me

[ ] Please email me

Seriously? I know December is a time when lots of people increase their religious activity but honestly--a little targeting could save the Christian Library International tons of money in direct mail. At least exclude those people, such as myself, who subscribe to Heathens Weekly.

2. To all the skinny bitches in my apartment complex--I know it's been unseasonably warm but that's no reason to wear gym shorts with a 3/4" inseam. In fact, there's no reason to even own such shorts. It's unseemly.

3. I thought I was in a spot of trouble at work a few weeks ago. My computer died and when our IT guys were fixing it they saw that I had Rhapsody (my music service) installed. Luckily they were cool about it but they did proceed to mock my choice of music. You know what, you try listening to "All 4 Love" by Color Me Badd and NOT dancing. IT WON'T HAPPEN!!

4. Did you know that Mindy Kaling (she plays Kelly Kapoor on The Office-duh!) has a blog called "Things I've Bought That I Love"???? It's everything I aspire to be. And not because of my love of all things Office; she hardly even mentions it. Rather, the sheer amount of shopping she is able to do brings me to tears.

  • very impressive! scanned items and google images! i wish i had checked back after our trip to h-town (obviously, i'm down enough to use that terminology).

    i full-on support your hatred of skinny bitches. for me, weather changes signify little change in wardrobe - maybe just longsleeve t-shirt to shortsleeve t-shirt. remember at duke everybody would come back from spring break, regardless of the weather, to compete to see who could wear the shortest sundress while eating their fro-yo?

  • I read and enjoyed this post. I read some of Mindy's blog, but her success as a writer makes me too jealous to enjoy it. But it seems funny and well-written.

    And my default setting is to distrust Jesus, but after reading almost any bit of mail I get, I trust him again. That mailing seemed to have me in mind more than you.
