The Big DumpTruck

I swear to God, if they let their dog out before 6 am AGAIN tomorrow and let it bark like the big brain-dead [expletive] it is, I’m going to have to go over there and take matters into my own hands. I mean, how rude is it? And just when the arsewipes on one side of me FINALLY stop putting their yappy little beasts out at FIVE in the morning, the neighbors who used to keep the dog in the house all the time have suddenly lost their minds. I’m just glad I’m not in the house directly behind theirs (like, 20 feet away).

And if anyone out there reading this is wondering “Hmmm. Is she talking about me?” then let me be the first to say, if the shoe fits, keep your damned dog in the house.

p.s. No, I’m not threatening anyone. But at 6 tomorrow morning, all bets are off.

Wow, that seems a little, well, low for this time of year.

I’m borrowing my parents’ really really awesome terrific expensive fantastic car while mine is in the shop. Oh boy, spoiled am I. I’m not going to want mine back, that’s for sure.

Funny thing, though. When I threw my Annie Lennox cd in the player, it sounded really odd so I checked the settings. Basically all the sound was coming out of the front driver’s side speaker, with the bass turned all the way off and the treble all the way up.

My parents were apparently simulating a really piss-poor mono AM radio.

Boy, are they going to be surprised the next time they use the radio. “Where in the heck did all that depth of sound come from? And is that music coming from behind my head? And in my right ear? Holy cow, it’s a miracle!” If you pay that much for a car (it’s a Toyota Avalon…you do the math) you should probably get the stereo set properly.

See now today’s lunch made up for the fact that I totally hated my lunch on Tuesday. Yesterday was fine – it was just egg salad on a bulkie. That’s hard to screw up unless the eggs and/or the mayo are bad. But I’m here to tell you they weren’t. But today…today I had a hummus and roasted veggie wrap.

I practically licked the plate clean, which was pointless because really, it was a sandwich. Not much to lick. My only suggestion to the lunch crew is to double up on the hummus. In fact, howzabout an all-hummus sandwich and you can just wave some veggie matter over the sandwich before you hand it to me. I do love me some hummus.

Tuesday’s lunch was a ranch chicken wrap. I didn’t even finish it. I thought it would have the same flavor as when I put chicken on my salad and use ranch dressing – that tastes like it would make a dandy sandwich. But I think they use some other brand of dressing, or something. I couldn’t eat it, which made me sad.

I’m not going to think ahead to tomorrow, but I plan to sneak a peek to see if the deli area normally has hummus. I think the roasted veggies were the limited edition ingredient. Maybe I’ll just have them throw some tomatoes on it. Sound good?

Was doing some browsing, courtesy of Boston Common (see the link over on the right, I’m too lazy to type it) and I see part of a post from Simple Pleasures. Oh my God, I’d have paid money to have been there watching that. And to be part of the discussion after.”

I love laughter. And I’m only 45 minutes from Walden Pond, so maybe I’ll get the practice schedule…
