Fo Shizzle

I hope everyone had a joyous and loot-tastic holiday! Mine was excellent, as I had the 4 days before christmas off work. I enjoyed every minute of it, sleeping in, eating tons of food, and watching lots of upright citizens brigade in my pajamas.

It. Was. Magical.

And remember kiddies:




















Word yo!

Julia explains it all....

Actually Wikipedia does:

And I'm out.

A dick move.

I'm starting to think I live in a bad neighborhood.

At about 3:30 this morning, someone started a fire in the hallway of our apartment. A couple of newspapers were lying on a shelf/table attached to the wall by the now lonely dryer, and some asshole lit it on fire last night. We found ourselves being awakened to the sounds of sirens and the smell of burning. You know that moment when your like hmm...there's a fire. *sniff, sniff* Holy shit! It's in my apartment building! Yeah, that's what it was like.

Luckily the fire was put out pretty quickly, but it could have easily been a very bad situation. An investigation team was there for almost three hours, and at 6am they knocked on our door to get a statement. The head investigator advised us to complain to the landlord about the lack of fire alarms in the hallway. We are pretty irritated as we both had to be at work at 8 am today, and barely got any sleep.

Thievery and Arson. I wonder what's on the menu for tonight?

Douchebaggery

Someone stole the washer out of our apartment complex last night.

So I've been trying to figure out a couple things.

1) How did they take it without making any noise or anyone noticing?

2)Did they steal it for the money, or because they needed a washer?

If it was for the money, how did they think they would get to it, and would it even be worth the hassle? And if they just wanted the washer, why would they take one that they'd have to pay a dollar to use? Makes no sense at all.

Perhaps some drunk people stole it.


Teabags.

Tonight, You.

So I read on Yahoo! News today that the word of the year is "truthiness". Stephen Colbert rules! Apparently it won 5-1 against words such as "war", "insurgent", "sectarian", and "corruption" as the word to best sum up the year 2006.

On a complete tangent, I also found this on youtube, and it was so funny I had to share:


Oh man, I about died laughing.

Don't make me take these glasses off.

We watched Superman Returns last night. It was so awesome! I totally dig superman. Maybe it's because I have fond memories of watching the old superman movies with my dad as a kid, but I've always liked him best. I had the hugest childhood crush on him. He always dropped everything to save Lois Lane, and I thought that was romantic. Now in retrospect, I guess that would be pretty sweet for her, but if you happened to be in trouble at the same time as she was, I guess you'd be screwed. Too bad burning bus of school kids! My girlfriend is in trouble!

My only beef with the superman mythos is the whole glasses are my disguise thing. So when he puts his glasses on, he looks like a totally different person? I realize he also goes from suave to complete teabag in zero to ten seconds, but still. Why don't people notice? I guess the truth of the matter is that people just aren't that observant. I wear glasses just about everyday, and sometimes when I get the hankering, I'll put in my contacts. When I do, people act like I look completely different. If I am wearing them and want to avoid someone at the store for example, I just walk right past and they usually don't notice. It's nice. Other times it's just damn annoying. Once I went to work with my contacts in and someone actually came up to me and said "Can you see me?" And waved their hands in my face. Idiot.

So in homage to the new superman movie, here is a short list of some of my favorite old school superman moments (not necessarily in order):

:::The time Lois Lane died and he flew around the Earth, changing it's rotation and turning back time so he could save her. (complete cheese, but still a classic)

:::Superman using his super breath to blow an oil spill back into a damaged oil tanker.

:::Superman giving up his powers to be with Lois Lane then getting owned at a diner by some biker/thug.

:::Zod and Superman scuffle in the white house.

Awesomeness.

It's a disaster. It's an incredible mess, but it's all we got now.

Wow. I've been listening to a lot of Ok Go lately.

:::This weekend was superb. Eddie and I went to Columbus to visit some old friends that we haven't gotten to see in awhile. It was good to see the other resident mammals: Sid (aptly named after Sid Vicious, also known as Juan Diablo author of lies), and Mona Diggity. We spent Saturday and Sunday afternoon just hanging out and catching up on things. I've been finding myself feeling a bit stir crazy with it getting dark at 5:30 at night (damn daylight savings time!) so it was nice to get out of town. Refreshing, actually. Despite having a mildly sore throat all weekend, it was all very enjoyable indeed.

:::Last night I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt that Winter and I went to Australia, and got to meet dream Mark and dream Lucy. Both of which were great fun! Dream Lucy invited all of us over to her dream house (bungalow?) to attend a dinner party. It was fabulous. The funny thing about it was that dream Lucy looked like she does in real life, but dream Mark did not. Anyway, it was so much fun, I was sad to wake up.

Well, that's all I've got for now. It's about 17 degrees outside, so I'm going to spend the rest of the night drinking tea and snuggling up to a good book.
