A Nuking Disaster...

Last night I decided to make some soup for dinner. I put the soup in a microwave safe container, covered it, put it in the microwave, set the time, started it, and then started to unload the dishwasher. not even halfway through I heard a loud pop-bang sound but figured it was just the top popping off. Whenever the microwave finished and I opened the microwave I found something else happened entirely.when it popped the whole thing flipped onto it's side, spilling the soup into the microwave. my first reaction was to grab the bottom which still had some sanitary soup inside to try to salvage something out of the meal (which is why in the picture the base is not still inside the microwave. Eh, at least it gave me a reason to clean the microwave. It needed it before being covered in soup, and now it is spotless.

A Sad Sight

Gen and I walked to quiznos today for some lunch and while walking we passed a tree sitting in the gutter.It was a very sad sight, especially only 3 days after christmas. At least there was a slight redeeming factor about it standing up rather than laying on it's side. It had the base and all. oh so sad.

Hope everyone had a Happy Holidays, I am all caught up on the Ha Ha's that I remember so now I am going to play some Super Hero Squad... Hero Up!

Decent flight back to LA

I had a pretty good flight to LA. I got to my gate when they called my zone so I didn't even have to sit down and wait. there were a few things that made my laugh to myself.

1. I was carrying a carry on bag that was a christmassy shopping bag (which was full of cookies, candy, and other goodies) but I did not really realize that the outside was decorated in glitter. I realized this about halfway through the security line when I happened to look down at my leg and it was covered in glitter. Luckily I was mostly holding it on my left side so only one side of my pants was glittery.

2. I was standing next to a Dogg the Bounty Hunter look-a-like while boarding the plane. I had to take a picture but I was really close so it didn't turn out too great.He also came over and stood next to me at baggage claim. I was gonna make a funny comment to him about it, but considering my opinion of rednecks it probably would have not gone too well so I just smiled to myself and kept listenin to my iPod instead.

3. This is just something that really confuses me. I can understand why large women squeeze themselves into skimpy outfits because even if no one else does, they think that they are sexy and want to show the world. More power to ya, I don't really care to witness these sights, but you go girl (and I don't mean to the donut shop). But the other gendered side of the what the hell would most likely be large men of the super couch potato variety wearing the athletic under-armor shirts. I see those shirts on football players in the NFL, basketball players, and professional athletes practicing, I also see them on large skeevy and most likely single men that have no reason to wear them. It's quite obvious that their stomachs were not thought of in the production of the material, and I seriously doubt that they are comfortable. it just confuses the heck out of me. It is like a skin and bones model wearing a professional eating competition shirt, it just doesn't make sense...

Now that sounds like a party

One thing that really confused me about my sisters apartment complex was their pool. It was a decent sized pool and I am jealous of it, but I was reading the rules and something really got me thinking. the Pool limit was 94 people, and by the look of the pool, if 94 people were in it they would almost all be shoulder to shoulder. that sounds like a fun party huh? a buncha people squirmin around a pool looking like crazy dolphins.

Tonight We're Gonna Rock Ya

I've stopped being paranoid at work about rocking out to music while working. I've thought about this for a while now, almost all of last week and then today I narrowed it down to a few things...

#1 I seem to work faster while listening to music, I get into a flow and enjoy myself while doing the most menial of tasks. I also get distracted much less when I have headphones on.

#2 If you have headphones on, people tend to leave you alone. Unless of course they really do have a question that needs answered, or just like to annoy you.

#3 I work in a cold carpeted room (the cooler), so while I know my foot is tapping to a beat or a rythm, my foot taps or pounds are muffled by the carpet and the shaking of my legs could be seen as a way to keep warm.

#4 I imagine I do not appear to amusing from a distance, besides of course the foot thing and bobbing and shaking my head to the beat. I see it as something similar to car dancing but in an office chair where one hand is on the mouse and the other the keyboard.

#5 I know that I mouth the lyrics as well. Which I sometimes worry about. Not only for the lyrical content of the music that I listen to, but because I worry that while mouthing the words and exhaling from my mouth I may accidentally make words for other people to hear without realizing it.

But at least I don't play air guitar or air drums at work and make a spectacle of myself. I save that goofing around for Rockband, which I haven't played in weeks. Maybe this realization means that I should play Rockband more often...

Hmmm?

Is it warm in here?

Another going to hell thought...

I wonder if there was MMA Fighting in the Special Olympics if there would be more hugging.

if you laughed I'll see ya there...

The things I do for smiles...

I use to draw a lot, I loved it. I had tons of notebooks full of random superhero type sketches and characters that I would make up. Then college rolled around and the amount of time that I would draw would be diminished dramatically. I drew a few things here and there (mainly for logos for my cafepress store) or just plain randomness to get images out of my head. I've been getting back into drawing with a commission of sorts for my Godson. I haven't done a commissioned piece since back in 2001, when a girl I was dating wanted a drawing of Sully from Monsters Inc. I'm trying to get back into it all but I love drawing simplistic cartoon characters that have tons of reference available. eh enough rambling, here are some Spongebob faces to make ya smile. -eD

The battle that never was...

About a week or so ago, Justin came home asking for the "ass kissing" to begin. Ben and I had no idea what he was talking about, but as always when I am confused and not sure what people are talking about, I smile and nod and then he revealed what he was so excited about. He had an extra ticket for the Avatar premiere on Dec 15th. Justin worked on the movie for a long time before moving to a different company to work on Christmas Carol, I know a lot of artists who worked on it, and it is claiming to be the future of CG movies. Of course Ben and I were both interested but we had no idea how to come to a decision in a fair and rational manner. An hour or so later on in the night Justin had the perfect plan to see who would deserve the ticket. It would be a battle to the death. Intrigued by what he would propose for this battle I eagerly listened, wondering how a death battle would play out in our household. Then he laid an awesome idea on me, Nerf Battle! We all have nerf guns in this house. I think at one point it was a initiation thing, I don't totally recall though. When Ben was approached with this idea though he backed out of the game, forfeiting his chance at the ticket. I am not complaining, but I'm pretty sure my nerf skills would have won it anyway. And now it will just be remembered as the battle that never was...

Miscommunication

While I was making dinner in the kitchen last night, I had what I thought was a short man conversation with Justin. I say "man conversation" not because we were talking about manly things or anything like that, but that the questions and answers were so short and sweet, like "yea," "really," "ok," that kind of thing. Then about 5 minutes into it I realize that he was on the phone the whole time and not paying any attention to me whatsoever. I tried to retrace the steps of what was said, and I realized that I was in fact talking to myself the whole time and all of his responses and questions were to whoever was on the phone. It definitely threw me for a loop. Then I just took my food to my room and smirked at Justin as I passed by the couch on my way upstairs wondering if he had any idea of what just happened.

Mwah Ha Ha

This morning I had the great idea to bring my chatter teeth to the airport with me during my trip to charlotte. Then I remembered two things, #1 pulling out chatter teeth at the metal detectors may not help expedite my boarding and #2 I don't think clearly in the mornings. but the worse part is i'm still considering it.

Hump Day

I've realized that with me worked full-time again my Ha Ha's have dropped dramatically. Hopefully soon I will get back in the happy-go-lucky, zany mood that I am normally in and fix this issue. But today I realized that if my computer at work had a face, I would kick it. And that is saying a lot considering that I have never personally kicked anyone in the face, and for the most part frown upon violence. Oh well... Two more days then it is back to the weekend.
