That Just Ticks Me Off

Okay, Monday morning rant. Not really a rant, but you know.

1. Job listings on monster.com that are no more than an ad to buy someone’s “book” of available work from home “opportunities”. Slimeballs.

2. Buying a package of Memorex CD-Rs and having HALF of them fail. Yes, literally every other one was bad. I reached a point where I almost tossed every other one before even trying it.

3. Unavailable refills for the CD labelling “system” I use. I know I could switch to something else, but that means my templates will no longer work, which means I have to create new ones from scratch, and that’s a pain in my arse.

4. Something else. I’m not sure what, but I know there will be something.

Woooha, we got us a sweat-er

It’s late September, and I wanted to go to the Bolton Fair today. It just didn’t work out. Junior seems to have been hit by some allergy thing, as have I a little bit, and it’s freaking hot out there. I mean, not July hot. Well, sort of. It was about 87 and very humid. It was just a sticky gross day and I had visions of the Sterling Fair from two weeks ago dancing in my head so I decided not to push it. I think being hot and sticky while sneezing and with a runny nose could have resulted in the mother tantrum of all time at some point. I think it’s better to just write off the fair this year, and look for something next week that will maybe kind of sort of take its place, even though nothing can. I mean, this is a fair where the midway can’t be seen until you’re in that particular field, so it would have been ideal for us. We just wouldn’t go down to that part of the fair, y’know?

Scream Collecting

Got Monster’s Inc. Love it. Love the two shorts that are included. Like the outtakes. Got me to thinking…there’s an animator out there who goes to cocktail parties and says

“Ya, I worked on that Pixar movie.”

The Cute Young Thing ™ looks at him in awe and says “Really? Which part did you do?”

“Uh, I spent the last year working on an outtake”.

I mean, that’s someone’s whole reason for being. To create something that is classified as a mistake.

Why Are They All Taken?

I just found out that local hero Tom “Ain’t No Fluke” Brady is dating Tara Reid. And last week I found out my Nomar is dating that soccer chick, Mia Hamm. Is there no hope for the overweight average-looking women of the world ever dating a Boston sports hero? Adam Vinatieri is married, isn’t he? Oh, look his website says “He is currently married.” What the hell kind of statement is that? When is the expiration date on that puppy?

Forget them, I’m going back to Anthony of the Wiggles then. You can laugh all you want, at least I can say that the distance is what’s keeping us apart.

CD Burning

I’m making my own greatest hits CD. Not the greatest hits of one artist, but the greatest hits (in my opinion) into collections. Maybe I’ll call those “Now That’s What I Call Music” people and tell them I’ve got their next CD all picked out. Of course, some of the songs are twenty-five years old. But I don’t think that should matter, do you? Some of the best songs in the world are 25 years old.
