On my mind

I don’t really know why lately all of my posts are either incredibly dreary (home invasion, depression, blah blah blah) or just a quick update but they are.  So, you know, do with that what you will.  This one will be no different.  I’m going to just write about some of the random crap on my mind.

1.  Jason Derulo.  I find it very odd that he feels it necessary to announce himself at the beginning every song.  I guess it may not be every song but it sure as hell is every song I ever hear.  And the announcement is done in the same way every time.  Just listen!

2.  Eyebrows.  Lately I’m a little obsessed with eyebrows and how some people manage to get them in the perfect shape arching over the complete eye.  Mine feel awfully wimpy in comparison.  Last night I even spent time trimming mine, that was a new thing for me.  They still don’t look like the girl from The Secret Circle.  I almost asked a coworker today what her eyebrow maintenance was but thought it may out me as a weirdo.  I should probably be working at this place at least 3 months before they find these things out.  Here’s the chick that got this whole weird eyebrow obsession started.

3.  Radiolab.  Oh sweet Jesus, I totally forgot how amazing these podcasts are.  Today I listened to the podcast on Patient Zero.  It was amazing.  And yes, it did have quite a bit about disease (AIDS and Typhoid Mary – that Mary was a real bitch*), but also how the high-five came to be.  So much to teach me!

4.  Bad Lip Reading Videos.  This one comes courtesy of Nathan.  I’m obsessed with the Herman Cain video.  You should probably watch them.

 

5.  Shit Nobody Says.  People have been flipping the F out about the Shit Girls Say videos but they have nothing on Shit Nobody Says.  It starts out with “Hey can I burn a copy of your Nickleback CD?”  Amazing.

 

6.  I’m bringing it back to home invasion.  So, Church Hill has had a bit of a run on crime in the past month or so.  There has been no shortage of news stories and many of them start with “There was a home invasion.”  This led me and a good friend that lives two blocks away to talk about how this pisses us off.  I feel like the news plays fast and loose with that phrase.  When I think of home invasion I think of people who totally did not have it coming.  If you are a known drug house with people in and out, I just don’t think the term applies.  So, when I have to hear the “you live in such a terrible place and you will be killed” and I reply with “no, I will be fine.”  I don’t want to hear “but all the home invasions!”  I will cut you.  And yes, I am totally aware that I had someone looking in my windows the other week.  But, he didn’t come in.

7.  Again with the running.  This blog started out as a way to document my crazy idea to run a half marathon.  Still not really sure what the heck I was thinking.  Well, after all that running I came to the conclusion that I hate to run.  Regardless of that hate, I have signed up for the Monument 10K.  I really don’t have a good reason.  So you know, I’m thinking about cold weather running a lot these days.  I start in 2 weeks.  Blech.

8.  Weddings.  2012 is the year of attending (and being in) weddings.  It should be a lot of fun since all the people getting married love a good party.  I’m super excited about them all and think about it a lot more than when I planned my own.  Possibly because I wanted nothing to do with planning my own.  Funny how that works.

*Actually it is a little sad because she was basically held against her will.  When the government finally decided to let her live a regular life, they made the only requirement that she would no longer work as a cook.  You know, to stop spreading that damn typhoid fever.  Well, that bitch Mary was caught working as a cook a while later.  So you know, I felt bad for her at first but not after I heard she got kids sick because she just kept cooking.

Oh and yes, I did just finish this post with a rant about Typhoid Mary.  I should also keep that from my coworkers.
