it was a simple plan, really. go to the grocery store to pick up blueberries so I can make blueberry pancakes in the morning. that’s all I really needed.

instead I futzed around all morning (although some freelance work was involved) and ended up going much later than I wanted. on top of that, I didn’t eat anything all morning so I went to the store hungry.

what happened? I ended up getting all these snack items and enough chicken thighs (oooh, dark meat) to last me a few weeks. I get home and it wasn’t until now I realized I didn’t get the blueberries.

so make a mental note: grocery shopping with an empty stomach makes you lose focus but gain plenty of snacks and chicken thighs.

so kate was watching the olympic equestrian competition and there was one horse on there named “gandalf.” I was like “what the hell, why did they call the horse GANDALF and not SHADOWFAX??”

kate has never seen lord of the rings.

those of you who have understand me.

I was totally the comic book store guy.

here’s a little game that’s sure to brighten everybody’s day. whenever the word conflict comes up in conversation, replace it with cornflake.

example:

sorry barry, but I am unable to make the 9:30 call tomorrow due to a scheduling cornflake.

hilarious, right?

I caught the first episode of make me a supermodel (I tried linking to the show’s bravotv.com page but it wasn’t connecting) and suffice to say I won’t be a regular viewer. but the commercial for it, with tyson beckford yelling at a supermodel hopeful (see entry title), made me crack up each time so I had to take a peek.

so I hate doing new year’s resolutions because I almost never keep up with it. but if you must…

1. eat more fruits and vegetables
2. learn the NATO phoenic alphabet

there. happy?

I’m not gonna lie, this entry was heavily influenced by mike’s post over here. it got me thinking . o O ( how many take on me covers could I find on imeem? )

answer: a shit ton.

so I picked some of my favorites from the bunch and put it together in a convenient little playlist. go on. indulge.

“I tried out one of those foam memory mattresses… I forgot what it was like.”

just curious.

I got tired of seeing all these lame ass surveys all over myspace or whatever, so I decided to write my own. you should take it.

I celebrate the day after cinco de mayo. I call it cinco de sixo.

don’t even try to correct my spanish.

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT ‘TILL IT’S GONE (right, because they were the first to come up with that saying).

so after that whole balloon prank the other day I have developed SERIOUS blisters on the tips of my left pointing finger and thumb. serious.

as a direct result I’m finding the tips of one’s pointing finger and thumb get called upon for usage quite often. here’s a list of what I’ve come up with based on my experiences from the last two days:

1. tying shoelaces
2. buttoning a shirt
3. typing
4. putting ipod earbud in my left ear
5. flicking things
6. pinching things
7. picking up a coin off the floor

here’s a list of what I think would hurt, but haven’t experienced:

1. push-ups on finger tips
2. catching flying, spinning daggers with aforementioned fingers
3. stabbing someone in the temple with my left thumb
4. playing bass without a pick (thick strings, you know)
5. picking up a naughty kitty by the extra skin on the back of the neck
6. tearing numerous raffle tickets
7. scratching records
8. video games

yeah.
