Saturdays are not for sleeping
Christ, I feel like I could conk out. Yes, it is almost 8:00 p.m., no wonder I’m tired ? I guess that once you’re past 40, there’s nothing left but napping. I felt like napping this afternoon, and instead, I cleaned up the place.
WoTF voluntarily cleans up the place? What the hell is wrong with me? It started off with a little vacuum.
I was sitting here at the computer, minding my own business, when for some reason I happened to look up at the fan light. I saw big furry things on the blades. I saw big furry things that could have been caterpillars. I think they were caterpillars. They were caterpillars trying to hold on for dear life as those blades kept spinning ’round and ’round. I decided to save the caterpillars from their dizzy lifestyle and hence, vacuumed them up before they decided to jump down on my monitor and leave little slime trails or something. No wait, that’s snails. Perhaps they were snails.
From there I just couldn’t stop. I vacuumed the hallway and computer room. I dusted the living room and put things away where they’re supposed to be. I cleaned shelves in the kitchen.
I don’t know what the hell got into me, but I’m done now. And my snookey just got home, so I guess we’ll be watching our rented movie soon. We rented Babel, which I’ve heard should have got Brad Pitt a nomination cuz he was so-o-o-o good in it. We’ll see.
My daughter went off to a birthday party this afternoon, and they’ve gone to see a movie tonight. I guess we’ll need to pick her and her friend up from the theatre. The birthday boy first told me that they were going to see a movie over around Jane & Finch. Nuh-uh, said I. She is not going around Jane and Finch. She is not going to be over by Jane and Finch, especially not at night. You can go to Yorkdale, said I. That’s nice and close.
So they better have gone to Yorkdale. Like I want my 13-year-old over in one of the worst neighbourhoods in the city, especially at night, where one of those stinking drive-by’s could accidentally hit her.
Anyway, I’m expecting a call around 9:30 or 10:00-ish. Now we’d better go watch our movie so we don’t have to pause it just when it’s at a good part or something and then go pick up girls.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Hope the party was good.
