I’m not “Faulking” around
I’ve been harassed to blog so I’m gonna blog. I don’t know what to blog, so I’m gonna just try a stream of consciousness sort of deal. Just random collection of thoughts I’ve had within, say, the past few weeks. I’m just not being all clever and edgy like Carrie by jotting them down on napkins first. Oooh she’s so hip.
I told Carrie I’m going to blog about the new vacuum I bought today so here it is. It is a Bissell. It only cost me $20, it’s like a mini little stick type vacuum. I think this will be nice for my allergies. I’m too lazy sometimes to lug out the big, heavy vacuum (and the new one my mom bought is rather heavy) so this will be nice for quick sweepings. It will be good for vacuum my HEPA filter with (I’m a nerd.) Best part? It’s called “The 3way.” Oh the teenage boy that lives deep inside of me had a good laugh at that one. The entire paragraph I just wrote about a vacuum makes the intellect that lives deep inside of me die a little bit.
Lewis Black is on Conan right now. He’s quite funny. Such an angry man. If you haven’t heard his stuff before, you should look him up. While we’re at it, let’s do some required comedy curriculum:
Jim Gaffigan. I’ve seen him for years of Conan and a few weeks ago at Blockbuster I found his “Beyond the Pale” dvd. Very good.
Bill Cosby. Now I know you’re probably thinking uuuhhh…but seriously. He has this old stand up routine (yes, I have the VHS tape, yes it still works) called “Bill Cosby, Himself.” Something he has in common with Gaffigan? At entire 15+ minute rant about cake.
Ooooh cake. Speaking of cake, I had the BEST cake of my life the other day. As some of you who may read this (ie: Carrie) you know I’ve had lots of surgeries so far this calendar year (3 to be exact.) I went to get my stitches out the other day, not fun of course. Afterwards, my surgeon (who is a seriously cool woman) says “Now, do you want some cake?” At first I panicked, thinking this was some sort of cruel joke. But I know she is not that kind of person so of course my response was “I NEVER turn down free cake.”
It was peanut butter cake. Creamiest icing EVER. Layer of icing through the middle (icing is important to me.) Crumbled peanut butter cups on top. AMAZING. Every birthday, wedding, graduation, any other cake ever my life: totally put to shame. One of my surgeon’s breast cancer patients had baked 2 of them for the office. Only one had been cut and I seriously contemplated how I could sneak the 2nd one out of the office without anyone knowing.
I think I will end this now. I can’t possibly write anything else that could top that cake. I will dream SWEETLY of it tonight, BWAH!
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
Greetings!
I decided to start this due to blog envy. Several of my friends are starting blogs. An abundance of free time is also contributing to this decision. I haven’t really decided what the purpose of this blog is to be, so suggestions are welcome. I plan on just blogging about everything and anything that I think is worth writing about. I’m not as prolific of a writer as my friend, whose blog has contributed to the aforementioned envy. She’s the Mediterranean Sea and I’m more like a kiddie pool. (I have actually stood with her IN the Mediterranean Sea, making the metaphor even more perfect!)
Mostly this is another thing for me to add to my list of weapons of procrastination. I seem to have become a career student. Not sure how this happened, as I loathe homework. I guess most of all, I have a very short attention span. I’m never quite sure of what I want and when I think I’ve finally found it, I either panic, change my mind, get lazy, have the rug swept out from underneath me or any combination of the above. Hopefully this blog will be therapeutic. If others read it and care to contribute, well, that’s just an added bonus. How do you end an intro blog? I think I’ll just end it here before things get weird.
