Thursday, September 30, 2004 does anyone have concrete plans for homecoming? who is coming to tailgate with frankenstein? does anyone have tickets to the actual game? i'm actually vaguely in favor of tailgating, then heading to the bars to watch the game. otherwise we'll end up buying tickets from scalpers which are currently running over $50 apiece. stupid fridge, creating a successful football program - have i said that before? speaking of frankenstein, he is seriously MIA. i'm hoping i actually took him home after the game last year, which is really the last time i used him. did anyone "borrow" him like my fog machine got "borrowed" for like two months? if so, just own up to it so i can go buy a new one. or did anyone see it anywhere in 4701 during the spring? i'm a little distraught and i'm looking for some answers. hopefully it's somewhere in my basement at my mom's house - otherwise i'm gonna be dropping $60 somewhere online to replace him. so i asked alot of questions in this post. that means i expect alot of replies. get to it. posted by johnny | 9/30/2004 02:03:00 PM Friday, September 24, 2004 dc is finally getting a baseball team, and i feel like i'm going to be seriously torn. anyone who knows me knows that i already have a serious issue with being both a sox and an o's fan, so throwing another team into the mix (especially one playing home games a short metro ride away) is only going to complicate things. as of right now, my allegiance will stay with orioles, then sox, then expos/senators/fighting banana slugs, then anyone playing the spankees. and my love for my birds will only expand once fucking angelos gets the hell out of town and lets them go back to the oriole way. sorry about the rant, but you know how i get about my baseball - don't remind me of the temper tantrum i threw last winter related to a certain unmentionable shortstop. that fucker, i hate him. i hope he gets tagged again this weekend. ok, on another note, the best holiday ever is little over a month away! we've all seen the signs outside party city and inside cvs and target - you know what i'm talking about. this year's costume will hopefully be the best one since my mom gave up making them. seriously, i had the best costumes as a kid. i was a dinosaur, an astronaut, zorro, a borg (yes i was/am a huge nerd) a gangster, a cowboy, a baseball player (ok, so that one was probably easy), and more. plus at halloween parties at school when my mom was the room mother she would dress up as a mad scientist and my dad would be igor. halloween birthdays are the best - everyone dresses up and the whole neighborhood gives you presents. i was a spoiled little kid for at least one day a year. back on the costume train, i have several great ideas...i think. the only one worth mentioning is napoleon dynamite, which would be pretty easy to pull off, not to mention score big points on creativity and pop culture timing. we shall see. oh! we are having a halloween party on saturday the 30th, so if you are reading this, you are invited. i am planning on making a test run for the wedding by getting wasted and making an incoherent toast. ok, i guess i should get back to work or something... posted by johnny | 9/24/2004 01:22:00 PM Friday, September 17, 2004 the guys behind hotornot.com are giving away $100,000 to a lucky registered voter to try and encourage people to vote. i figured i'd might as well give it a try. if you're interested, check out the site: VOTEorNOT.org posted by johnny | 9/17/2004 09:13:00 AM Thursday, September 16, 2004 i think you all are due for another rave review of craiglist. now, most of you already know that i get obsessed with various ideas or sites or schemes, but i think old CL is going to keep going strong for a long time. not only do i peruse it every day at work (and at home, i'll admit it) but i am finding myself constantly recommending to others, who find it immensely humorous and useful. what other website to people just blindly give away free stuff in hopes of divining some kind of good karma? where else can you find good, cheap stuff, along with good, cheap housing? and then there's best of craigslist - easily the funniest shit you will read on the web, period. i think my coworkers are getting suspicious when i randomly start laughing in my cubicle. (disclaimer: i will post links when i get home and have a browser that was updated sometime during this millenium) on another note, i got a new phone with verizon, so all you donkeys can call me for free if you're "in". it's pretty nice, so nice that the guy at the verizon store was admiring it while he was porting my old number from cingular (those fucking bastards can eat a crap bag; if anyone is still using cingular, you are an idiot). the phone itself is nice and small, has decent ringtones, and does everything i want it to do. posted by johnny | 9/16/2004 01:01:00 PM Tuesday, September 14, 2004 why don't people flush urinals in public bathrooms? is it because you're touching an object that another guy touched after handling his junk? because you're just going to immediately go and wash your hands after flushing. hmmm. i think i just answered my question. posted by johnny | 9/14/2004 11:48:00 AM Friday, September 10, 2004 eating at work has become somewhat of an ocd issue to me. i plan my whole day around it. i need to eat breakfast before i get to work: if i don't, i need to eat something immediately upon arriving, which is sometimes difficult because the cafeteria doesn't open until 8:30, and i get in around 7:00. next, i eat my snack at 11:00 - usually a nice toasted bagel with cream cheese. and last, lunch is consumed no earlier than 1:00. this provides an appealingly short amount of time between lunch and the end of the day at 3:00. why is it that i have this regulated so strictly? because it is seriously the only things i look forward to all day. if i didn't have these goals...well, it wouldn't be pretty. so today i decided to buy lunch. genius that i am, i only have $2, clearly not enough when the daily meal is fish (ha, like i'd ever eat that from work) and i have to buy a sandwich. now normally my sandwiches run between $4-$5, but most people would consider them large. i figure i can make a sandwich for half that, since the cost of the sandwich is based purely on weight. i use half a piece of cheese and only 3 pieces of meat (instead of the usual 6 - they are small pieces, so don't freak out). i skip the mayo and tomato and opt for one tiny sliver of lettuce. i even toast my bread so some water would evaporate and make it lighter. then i nervously place the sandwich on the scale: $1.94. i am bazilly. posted by johnny | 9/10/2004 01:22:00 PM Wednesday, September 08, 2004 i know people are skeptical about the free ipods/flat screens deal, but they are totally for real. sign up under me if you are interested...i am almost to the free ipod, so i'll let you know! free ipods free flatscreens posted by johnny | 9/08/2004 04:05:00 PM |
