9:44 AM - Name that team
Current mood: indifferent
My womens open league soccer team needs a new name and I'm looking for suggestions as my creative functions are devoted to the abstract genetics thought bubble these days, I am of little help. About half of us are of Latin (mostly Mexican) descent (present company excluded) and we are all in our 20s, 30s. Ideas? Ok, ready, go!
4:34 PM - De-Motivational Calendar
Current mood: okay
I recently received my demotivational calendar and it rules. Here is one of the demotivators I didn't choose:
Makes me glad my question was "good" in 707 today.
I asked my coworkers if they watched 30 Rock-which inspired my new tagline and also the title of my lab meeting talk today: "A sweet, sweet lab meeting to soothe your mind grapes." No one "got it." Apparently more people have hatred towards Tina Fey than I knew. One person said, "Yeah, I watched it a few times. It's not funny." No matter. To that, I now have another demotivator to lift my spirits:
11:27 PM - Imagination comes to life
Current mood: content
On Monday, Damian bought a giant sized carton of Goldfish crackers with the loveable cartoon goldfish, and D's new best pal, Finn on the front of the box. I went to work to put together a crappy presentation, ironically about fish. Then I received an email entitled Finn. This is how I got distracted:

Meanwhile I worried about my computer being fucked up and asked why the fan doesn't turn on and why it makes a long tone noise when I restart it. Quality work getting done at this point...

4:11 PM - There IS such a thing as a free lunch!
Current mood: drained
Actually it was dinner. And it was a free fountain drink. But whatever.
I've been given 2 free fountain drink cups at 2 different fast food joints this week. First it was the 20 oz at Qdoba, then the 32 oz at Cousins. Was it my hot sweatshirt/pants post-soccer sweaty look on Monday or my stressed-out, over-worked pasty tired look on Tuesday? Who cares? Alls I know is to keep my eyez on the prize- tonight I'm hittin' up somewhere that serves cola in liters! Good things come in 3's! So do bad things, but I haven't noticed any patterns forming yet...
7:06 AM - Idiots jump into a lake in Madison
Current mood: hungry
I'm proud to say I know these people!!! Some colleagues of mine jumped into Lake Monona Saturday, when it was a balmy 20F out and windy, to raise money for Special Olympics WI-you go peeps!
8:25 PM - Al Franken: MN Senator?!
Current mood: cheerful
Hell yeah! If you're familiar with his books or as of yesterday, former radio show, you may know that Al Franken has been thinking about a run for US senate against Norm Coleman in '08. Yesterday he gave those of us who are "in the know", our Valentines Day gift. Should be an interesting race to say the least. I almost wish I was still a MN voter. Ah well, I could always head up a local chapter of barely legal coeds out of Mad-town, although I think I'll have to recruit undergrads-I'm definitely "legal" now. Read Why Not Me-you'll get it.
6:49 PM - Glenn Beck is an asshole
Current mood: anxious
D thought it was "inappropriate" for me to call Ann Coulter the c-word this morning since, after all, I haven't even tried to read her book and understand her POV-so true. I told him to steal it for me so that c-word gets nothing and I can have my book burning cherry popped but back to my point: Has anyone actually listened to this douchebag? People were pissed because his show is advertised on our local progressive talk radio station and I thought, "ah well it's a biased news show" but who fucking KNEW! Back in the realm of cable tv, it just so happened that CNN was on and I was trying to TVO (or MOXI, which I will henceforth refuse to say because it's just too tacky) a show whilst Glenn Beck "interviewed" some other douche about the impending Iran "conflict" and how we do not need to guess about what "a loaded gun" will be used for. I don't hate the messenger as much as I hate the ignorant idiots who actually believe the shit spewed at them from crappy cable "news" shows and go cast their ballots faithfully. But enough "quotation marks" for now... It is incredibly scary to know how much pro-war propaganda there is out there. What's scarier? I just saw a Papa John's commercial with the jingle, "Things that make ya go mmm mmm mmm." God bless America!
