don’t have a ho-hum holiday..

The first prank call to the zoo came two whole days early!
An elderly woman received a voice message from a Ms. Ana Conda asking her to call her back at the Oakland Zoo, ext. 100 (the main receptionist’s line).
So our poor receptionist has had to explain to these people that it was a practical joke. [...]

if it takes shit to make bliss then i feel pretty blissfully

I chased down a stray dog yesterday.
Well, okay, I tried to chase down a stray dog yesterday. But he wouldn’t let me. So we circled blocks and blocks, me about 20 feet behind, he always going a little bit faster. Whenever I got close enough he’d take a few steps towards me and then run [...]

my name is mc menses and my flow be fresh

My brain won’t let me admit that this actually happened.
And it’s not because I find it disgusting. I do.
I’m just pissed it wasn’t me when I was single. Because I so would have collected that $1100.
Because I have no pride.
Damn.

we aim to please

Six Apart has introduced TypeKey, which may put a stop to spam in people’s comments, maybe. Honestly I haven’t looked through it, but I know there were some who may find it interesting. So here you go. Because I try to please you, always.

this has got to stop

Latest dream: My ex-boss the acupuncturist, of all people, gets me on this homeopathic weight-loss program, which is basically a bottle of pills and a large jar of pickles. The pills make me throw up, and the brine from the pickles restores electrolytes. The pickles are small and sliced length-wise. Or perhaps they are pickled [...]

dear Viggo

I took a Match.com personality test and the picture of My Ideal Guy looked just like you! We should totally hook up. I know you’re married and have a kid, but come on! Match.com says you’re most likely the type of guy for me! And, okay, I already have a hot boyfriend, who matches all [...]

because i still sleep

Last night I dreamt two things:
First I had sneak through an evil castle (evil because it housed some evil person, I guess) and open all the windows in order to let in the light and return it to its former non-evil self (banishing the person, one would assume).
Then I dreamt that some old forgotten friends [...]

crap

2 months until another faire. I don’t think I’ll be able to survive. At this rate I need a vacation every other day.
This time last year I was in Ireland. I miss it, but the weather is so much better here. I wish we could have outdoor days like in school. I could sure handle [...]

now I’m just tired

Let’s just say faire was awesome and it took me until now, Tuesday, to fully recover.
I’ve had a tiring day full of raw emotion tearing away at me like acid reflux. I just want to go home and watch some Firefly, and then maybe go to the gym.

job perk #88

When it’s Monday morning and I’m still groggy from a 3-hour drive home from Fresno Sunday night, and coffee has ceased to have any effect on me, I can always take a quick break to walk through the zoo and look at the elephants.
