Oh, make an early day of it and go out for a drink.
excellent advice ! i might just integrate that into my business plan as a daily routine.

Oh, yes, Lady Blue. She does. But sometimes Zelda forgets and that's when she starts to get cranky. And after awhile all hell breaks loose. As long as she remembers to wear silly hats, things are cool. And she also has to eat chocolate now and then or the same thing happens. And then there's the occasional ZCD which also is not optional. And then once a month or so, she needs to visit the T.....G..... website (linky is to latest cool thing!). There are other requirements to help maintain the universe which is Zelda Land, but I can't remember them all.
and people wonder why i have trouble keeping all my responsibilities straight. there are so *many* of them ! (and don't think i didn't see that link. i saw it. luckily i had already stumbled upon that particular item. i spent hours refining my hypothetical playlist.)

This holiday sounds like it was made just for her

(except for the co-worker part . . .

and the witch part . . .

and the wicked part . . .

and the cranky part.)
i know. *sigh* it's so hard being me.

Gee, I've neglected to bring attention to the many really important holidays that have come and gone this month.

I know that you'd all rather I just go sit in a corner and drop the subject, but I'm waiting for "We don't give a donkey's dookie about your stupid holiday observances" Day before I finally surrender and do just that. I don't know when that day will be, but I'm sure I'll know it when I see it (or one of you will tell me.)

In the meantime, the following is a list of the great observances we've allowed to pass by without a second thought (which is probably appropriate):

Nov. 1 - Plan Your Epitaph Day

Nov. 2 - National Deviled Egg Day

Nov. 3 - Sandwich Day and Housewife's Day (are there still housewives?)

Nov. 4 - Waiting For The Barbarians Day

Nov. 5 - Gunpowder Day

Nov. 6 - Saxaphone Day and Marooned Without a Compass Day

Nov. 7 - National Bittersweet Chocolate With Almonds Day

Nov. 8 - Dunce Day

Nov. 9 - Chaos Never Dies Day

Nov. 10 - Forget-Me-Not Day (pfft)

Nov. 11 - Air Day

Nov. 12 - National Pizza With The Works Except Anchovies Day

Nov. 13 - National Indian Pudding Day

Nov. 14 - Operation Room Nurse Day

Nov. 15 - National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day

Nov. 16 - Button Day

Nov. 17 - Take A Hike Day

Nov. 18 - Occult Day

Nov. 19 - Have A Bad Day Day

and today is . . .

Nov. 20 - Absurdity Day

Now for the weekend we have:

Saturday - World Hello Day and False Confession Day

Sunday - Start Your Own Country Day (what will you name your new country?)

thank god those are the same day. i mean, if you have to be marooned without a compass, at *least* you should have a saxophone with you to play some plaintive blues song in your sorrow.

Excellent Point.

Whatever floats your barbaric boat.

thank god those are the same day. i mean, if you have to be marooned without a compass, at *least* you should have a saxophone with you to play some plaintive blues song in your sorrow.

True, nothing like a maroon saxaphone.

i'm pretty sure one day is not enough for that observation.

Never enough days for that.

what would we do without it, eh ?

Perish the thought.

/marks calendar for next year

This should happen at least monthly.

with button ? the big red button marked DO NOT PRESS ???

I favor the "EASY" button, but mine's always on the fritz.

i hate that day.

I hate Bad Day days, too.

please. isn't *every* day absurdity day ? at least around here ?

Absolutely.

got it. "HELLO WORLD" and "you know that really annoying thing when the 'to open pull here' tab comes off in your hand leaving the cellophane intact ? that's my fault."

I thought that was you all along.

haven't we done that already ? i can think of at least three fictitious countries most of us have permanent residency or at least long-term visas in (mobilita republica, pinwheel, oz).
That just means we're real good at planning ahead.

Since it's Saturday:

HELLO WORLD!


. . .and since they say "confession is good for the soul":

Global Warming is my fault. Yep, I admit it. I was helping Mother Earth with a few things and she asked me to set the Earth's thermostat. I was reading at the time and not paying attention (a definite idiosyncrasy of mine) and mistakenly set the temperature a couple of degrees to high. Please except my sincere apology. I have learned my lesson and will never do it again. . .I promise.
