Damnit all to hell!

I'm late. I'm very late.

After work and the gym tonight, I am going to get some new alarm clocks. The two I have are either a) being ignored my yours truly or b)being disarmed by my cats walking on them.

All I know is that I woke up an hour later than I should have with two happy cats cuddling on my chest.

Now my Monday is already in a sling, minus the sleeping in part. :-)

Alrighty, then. I survived the rest of today rather well. My mother’s birthday is looming in the horizon, so I found two tickets to see the Chieftains at Mondavi Center in Davis.

The rest of the day was spent doing my duties as lead for the weak. I worked on some Quality Assurance processes which somehow I ended up getting on the hot seat on. That’s okay; I’m good for it. Furthermore, I take great joy in taking a rogue meeting by the horns and guiding it towards something productive.

More news on lack of WMDs, but I have not the time to process it.

One of my coworkers is in the habit of disappearing and not telling the rest of the team where he’s at, nor is he answering his cell phone. Odd, that. It’s a bad sign when the men of the department suspect he’s having an affair.

Tonight’s plan after work:
-Gym: Run at least two miles
-Gas Station. Sta-puft, the Marshmallowmobile, is thirsty!
-Costco: I need the metric ton bag o’ Johnny Cat and hand soap, at least.
-Target: Alarm clocks, alarm clocks, ALARM CLOCKS! I’m hoping I can find something like Andy Serkis, who will trot on my bed and say, “Wake up, Sleepies!”

Yes, you must all quiver in jealousy at my wild, mad existence!

Card game trivia

I've had a few of these. Instead of saying, "I've got crap," I can say I have a...

Yarborough (YAHR-bur-o) noun

In a card game, a hand in which no card is above a nine.

[After Charles Anderson Worsley, 2nd Earl of Yarborough (1809-1897), who is said to have bet 1,000 to 1 against the occurrence of such a hand.]

Of course, you can have a four of a kind and still have a Yarborough...

This is the best image of Bigby on google thus far. I haven't mined my comic books for images, yet.

Alarm update

Sad but true. I now have three alarms. My older snooze alarm is now a short walk away from my bed. On the bedside is two alarms: a new snooze with better buttons that can not be so easily disabled, and my old wind-up clock.

May the force of morning alertness be with me.

Goodnight all. Sweet dreams. May they be full of the fantasies you crave, and may the best of those fantasies come true for you. :-)
