Louis CK: Total Prophet

Today is March 27. The guy who drives the 5:15 bus can eat a bag of dicks. He forgot to turn left onto my street (normal route) and instead kept going on MLK (shaded route). I had my headphones on, and it was snowing, so I didn't immediately realize what had happened, but some other ladies started making some noise and the driver turned 2 blocks late. I sort of thought he would turn around and go back to my street, but no. I guess his plan was to somehow drop down to the correct street, but since "thru streets" are unheard of in my neighborhood, that didn't pan out. When he reached 30th, he shocked everyone by saying he was turning *right* (i.e. the opposite direction of which I needed to go). Sooooo I had to walk 5 blocks in the nasty slushy snow, in my clogs. 34 degrees plus soaking-wet socks. Not fun.

Yeah, I know they have to keep on schedule, but still! I wouldn't have really minded except for the yucky, slushy mess. When I came home, I had no choice but to hang up my pants and socks, put on my jammies, and plunk down on the couch. I now plan to watch episodes of Psych for several hoursl


Your life is never meaningless if you have a cat who loves you

Today is March 24. The above maxim was invented out of whole cloth by me. I've also decided to invent a club for fangirls called Hot for Hodgman. Essentially I was disturbed by the lack of google hits for the phrase, and sought to rectify the situation.

Not much else to report. Today I missed the bus so I had to drive to work. I better get to sleep so it doesn't happen again, heh. 58 degrees tomorrow for the 50310, says Weather Widget. (Yes I refer to the weather widget as if it were a person)


Who sucks? This guy (I do)

Today is March 20. I am a horrible blog-ist. Especially if you go by The Land of Rach only. I suppose it's time I told you guys.

I have another blog. I started it ages ago; it was mostly to talk about work stuff and work crushes and things that were excessively goofy. Well, it's turned into the place where I do most of my writing, for the simple reason that I can access it from work. I figured it was OK to link here finally, since it's been nigh on a year since I resigned from Appl3.

Some of the entries are "friends-only" to use the parlance of the site, but for the most part it's open season. So have at it. I think I allow anonymous comments, so feel free to leave some sass.

What else, what else. I had a housewarming party last weekend, and that went pretty well. It was open-house style, so I had about 12 folks visit total. Calypso loved all the attention. My boss's son Matt played with the laser pointer with him. We watched Superbad (long after Matt and Chris left, don't worry!) and also played some Guitar Hero. David brought Dutch Letters from Ames and they were delicimous. I also got some wines so now I am going to learn about wine. I think everybody got along. I plan to do further partying in the future, so this was kind of a test-run.

this chick looks like my mom-slash-tina fey-slash-why do i want to bone her


I do, however, have a "get a second cat"-ological clock

Today is March 9. I've been binging on 30 Rock on the online Netflix (thanks, roomie!) I watched the actual SNL also. Following 2-L Jill's laugh test, I laughed hard at 2 sketches (Penelope and Jason Sudeikis's baseball one) and a little bit at Tim Calhoun. Just the idea of Tim Calhoun is pretty funny to me but sadly his lines were not that great this time. Whatever happened to the candidate who wanted another big lake and proposed breeding shetland midgets?

Sorry it took me so long to get this page up. Things are going fine for the most part. I took an excellent nap today on my couch. Here's my thing with 30 Rock. It's great but it's achingly derivitive. Of course the obvious predecessor AD, but in this ep it's like Sealab's Chickmate. Dang ol' babies. I like when (Stama)Tina does her hair up like 70's Farrah stylee. Also I'm waiting for her to say 'blergh.' I like that one. I wish my name was a fruit, or at the very least a noun of some kind. Rachel A. Chair. Pleased to meet you. Also, I know this is extremely shallow to say, but Scott Adsit in a wig is super hot.

I need it to be spring. Like now point now. I have been thinking about a second cat actually. Calypso seems lonely. He bothers Caylor a lot when I'm not home. I've been looking on Petfinder because they let you search for pets at multiple shelters around you. It even has a checkbox for declawed. C-po is declawed so it wouldn't be fair *at all* to bring in some other cat to scratch his face off.
