Chromatose
Squid pro quo
Woke up at the typical time of 2 snoozes through my cellphone clock alarm, all the while half-sleep-dreaming about what I'm hearing from the AM radio on my actual alarm clock. I always get woken up between snooze 1 and 2 by the horrid voice of Dr. Laura on her promo for her show in the next hour blabbing about why the random caller is a horrible wife/mother/christian. Climbed down from my loft bed, put on my glasses and hopped into my comfy leather desk chair. Checked my email, checked the news, started to read UM. Heard a fantastic rendition of the national anthem on the radio, acapella with some vocalists with incredible range. Another 2 minutes past the national anthem and the alarm clock radio turned off at its typical hour-past the time it turned on, making me realize I have 15 minutes to get to work. Threw on my clothes, brushed my hair back with my hands, filled my pockets with my mp3 player, cell phone, keys, wallet, grabbed Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and ran out the door to my car. Hopped in the car, tossed an mp3 cd player into the cd deck.. hmm what today..... ok, Clutch - Pure Rock Fury it is. On the way to work was following behind a cop so I didn't want to speed along with him so I drove a little slower than usual. Got to work 5 minutes late AS ALWAYS. [insert work day here, a/k/a researching mortgage documents, reading Pynchon on my break, and constantly multitasking between databases on the PC and UM] Got a crazy craving for some sugar so broke down and had some ho-ho's from the vending machine, and they tasted just as gross as I thought they would be. Felt sick from eating ho-ho's, so when lunch rolled around all the cafeteria food looked mighty gross. Oggled the special of the day (... meatloaf... ) for a while, but decided against any REAL food and grabbed a thing of BANANA PUDDING. Went back to my desk, ate my banana pudding, drank a diet dr pepper, read some more Pynchon and went back to work. [insert more of the same above work day here]
Pooped at some point during the day, and played Sudoku on my cellphone while doing so.
Came home, sat on my futon, turned on the TV. Hmm what's this show? Oh, xfiles, bleh.. tv.... Played some magnetica on my nintendo DS. Went to my desk, made some posts on UM. Chatted on irc. Eventually ate some salad for dinner, still wasn't hungry. Cara called and said she only had a few minutes left on her phone time, so we talked until the phone died. Just a second ago I at a spicy-black-bean veggie burger on a toasted kaiser roll.
edit: it also had bbq sauce. Bull's Eye bbq sauce. I'm not a fan. I'm contemplating how I need to import more high quality sauce from Tennessee since I used the last of the magnificent stuff up last week on my salmon pizza.
