Boredom, Luddites, Photographic Goals

I'm going to try to remember to take my camera with me all weekend, and to remember that I have it, and to use it. Then, I will upload to Flickr. Why? Because I love it when my friends have new Flickr pics for me to look at, so I should do the same.

In that vein, could you people whose blogs I read please update your blogs? Come on, you guys. Seriously. I need stuff to read. I'm trying to update mine more. You should try, too.

Also, if you are my friend and you have a secret blog, please consider letting me read your freaking secret blog.

Also, if you are my friend and you are not yet on Flickr, please consider getting on Flickr.

Don't say, "Oh, I'm not into all that world wide web stuff." Stop saying that. It's not some fad. It's not like I'm asking you to join MySpace. I'm just asking you to join the 21st century.

Please, put your pictures and thoughts online so I can have stuff to look at when I'm bored. Thank you.

Lunch

Tomorrow is the kick-off of a three-day weekend here in America. Tuesday I will be the only "lady" (read: worker) in our dept at my job who is not taking the day off. So me and Jackie will go eat Vietnamese food on that day. Tomorrow I will have lunch with Brie.

I like to have lunch with friends. When I can't do that, I like to sit in a secluded corner of my day job's parking lot and read a book, or write in a notebook, or listen to Mr. Wash Allen on the AM radio. Unless someone is rude enough to drive up and park next to me.

Intruders

I think that's very rude, to park right next to someone having lunch in her car. Don't you? We have a huge parking lot with gajillions of spaces, and yet people sometimes feel the need to park right next to me. Just like, in a nearly empty theater, some people feel the need to sit right next to me. Just like, in an uncrowded Hobby Lobby, some people feel the need to look at the exact beads or soap chips I'm looking at, right at the same moment that I'm looking at them.

I hate that. Lonely people of the world, please - stay away from me. I am not lonely. Sometimes, therefore, I need to be alone. If you see me alone, chances are I've very carefully planned it that way, and I don't need some stranger parking next to me or breathing on me or backing up into my ass. Please, people. Please!

Okay, that's all. Bed time. Good night.

Funny story. My dad went and sat next to my mom at the movies and they got married two months later! Crazy things happen!

I do not have a computer right now. It's been dead for about 2-3 months. I will let you read my secret blog when I buy another computer. Funny how for me it is at the bottom of my priority list. On top of the list is new bedding. Yay!

If you're desparate for something to read , drop by my site sometime. I try to be funny, but don't succeed as often as you.

Loved your monkey post. My 18-month old son looooves cell phones. We haven't resorted to behavorial training to make him not like them though.

Shoegirl: Wow. That's awesome - for *them*. :)

Letty: Dude. Didn't you just buy that computer? Also, you don't need to buy a computer in order to send me a link. Buy bedding, then send the URL.

Lady M: I will read your site if you promise not to describe it so self-deprecatingly anymore. :)
Also, your son and the monkeys could have toy cell phones, now that I think about it.

I know what you mean about intruders. My lunch hour is the one damn hour in the day I totally own so I go to the Courtyard betwqeen 1A and 2A with a book. I am not trying to be anti social, I'd just like some peace and quiet.

Still toiling in 2A.
