*has overwhelming urge to quote 80s slasher film but resists*
Birthday plans shot to hell. It's not so bad though. Mike informed me that he and Jake didn't want to go to their dad's this weekend because he has a consistent history of being an asshole and they've already had to put up with grandma all week. They came home a day early from camping last night because they couldn't take it any more.
I warned them that if they stayed home, I was going to Barnes and Noble and pretend I didn't know them. I told them I was going to spend hours there and they weren't allowed to complain. I didn't threaten to make them go to the fabric store. I think that's where I made my mistake.
I was bummed about not having anyone to hang out with on my birthday, but I'd actually gotten pretty geared up for it, now I'm disappointed that I have to have someone along. A bunch of people took me out to lunch today. I am so ready for a nap right about now. Steak, potato, and a huge piece of chocolate cake. I may explode. Don't get too close.
I've decided to get one of those one cup hot water dispensers for my desk. While I was home waiting for the AC to get fixed, I saw this report on how drinking 6-8 cups of tea per day would help with loosing weight. Since I drink black tea, it'll be because I'll be bouncing off the walls and not sleeping for weeks at a time, but hey I'll be thinner. It's better to look good than to feel good as Billy Crystal would say. I can tell just by looking into your eyes that you have the legs of a dancer. (I haven't heard that song since 1986 wtf)
My boss came in and gushed happy birthday at me and asked me how old I was. I told him I was 85. He's been repeating it all day. I'd get fired if I threw my stapler at him, wouldn't I? I wouldn't throw my stapler anyway. It's the red Swingline like in Office Space. Maybe I'll throw my tape dispenser. That'd leave a mark. At least someone was nice enough to say I didn't look a day over 29. I think he was sucking up for cookies, but I'll take it.
I'm getting out of here by 5pm at the latest so I need to get it in gear. Later all :)
PS I'm watching the movie in the icon tonight. I don't know why, but "I am your father, Luke, give into the darkside, you knob" keeps running through my head.
PPS I got the new Maroon 5. Eh. A few interesting lyrics I suppose, but not the best album I've bought this month. It hasn't grabbed me yet
