Running Late, Running On Empty, At Least I'm Not Running From The Law

Whew, where has the time gone this morning; it's already 9:00am!

Jack-O's Got The Flu
Yeah, sure he does. Michael Jackson was taken to an emergency room... Why does the phrase "If the condom doesn't fit you must acquit" keep popping into my head? *shudder*

Optimist Or Pessimist, Which Are You?
Last night I found that I already owned an unopened pack of C-cell batteries which I can use for one of yesterday's toys (obviously the speakers). I was so happy! But, being the detail freak that I am, I noticed the following (which spurred this question)...

On the batteries it reads "Best Before 01-2007"
On the package it reads "Best If Used By Jan 2004"

Which would you believe?

It's A Dog's Life
I have once again missed watching the Westminster Kennel Club's annual dog show. I watch it mostly to learn about different breeds, because let's be honest, all the girls there are bitches. (oh, how do I keep coming up with this material!) Congratulations Carlee, the German shorthaired pointer who took "Best in Show" last night. I know Christopher Guest must have watched it once or twice as well otherwise the movie Best in Show wouldn't have been nearly as funny as it was.

What's Twenty Years Older And Doesn't Stretch Like It Used To?

• Me? Well, maybe.
• Stretch Armstrong? Sure, but not answer I am seeking.
• The elastic on my Unitech speaker case? Correct! I made the mistake of showing someone the speakers today and streched the little elastic strap which was meant to secure the Walkman. The cracking noise it made was the first indication that I should not have done that...

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal...
Current Mood - grumpy, where the fuck is the sun! This is not Seattle!
Current Music - My iPod, playing Tesla - "Hang Tough" -- which is very different from the New Kids on the Block's "Hanging Tough" which would not be found on my iPod
Current Read - nothing currently (are you noticing a trend?)

Cheers!
