Who knows .... maybe I'll do it someday. Only problem is, sometimes I have the attention span of a gnat. Well, that and I find my own life not all that interesting. Which makes it hard to keep my mind on it. I'd probably do better trying something along the lines of David Sedaris ... you know, snatches of a life rather than an actual autobiography.

Or just tell us the snatches here. We'll respond and interact. When it's all done, we'll turn the thread into an MR ebook!

Now there's a good idea!! Of course, you'll all corrupt them so much even I won't be able to recognize them anymore. Although .... that could be a good thing.

Let that be a lesson to you:

MobileRead. Members check in... but they can't check out...

Ricky: Think of it as a very long brief. You are your own client (forget that stuff about "a fool for a client" since there is no charge, yet.) Our corruption will simply prevent the real people in the story from being able to sue if they don't like what you caught them doing. Marc can take the pictures from Oz and that should confuse the few remaing souls that are upset.

They have even disabled the "Log Out" feature on my profile.

I'm a teensy bit pissed off at the armadillos at the moment. They keep digging these holes in my yard, and I keep twisting my ankle every time I accidentally step in one.

That .... and I just felt like I needed a change. Probably more the second than the first to be honest. It's really hard to stay angry at the armadillos.

I'm having a sucky weekend ... one computer in pieces all over the office (although I think I have the motherboard fixed .... I hope it's fixed), and the other simply will not load Photoshop. It shows it's running in the task manager ... but nothing is coming up on the screen. And, naturally, Adobe tech support doesn't work on weekends .... so I'll probably have to sort this out by myself too.

Oh wait ... this isn't the Vent and Rant thread ... is it???

And ... the fridge just died about a half an hour ago. Keeee-rap!!

Luckily, the breaker had just tripped. So, all is good fridgewise.

YEA!!

At this point,I imagine you are taking any good news you can get!

RickyMaveety · 10-26-2008, 10:52 AM

Indeed. Long about the time the fourth of fifth bad thing happens in any one day, I just get the terminal giggles. Then I stand there giggling inanely at the sky and muttering, "Bring it on .... bring it on."

GeoffC · 10-26-2008, 10:55 AM

Hey ... Cool .....

I handle my bad days a little differently. I eat. Either a huge bowl of mashed potatoes with meatballs cut up and mixed in, or a huge plate of home fries, or a huge bowl of popcorn with real butter and salt. Sweets aren't my thing. Then I crawl into bed and watch one of the stupid 50's horror movies I have dvr'd.
