I'm so bored right now I could spit. But I won't. That would be rude.

If I was on South Park
I might look like this:
How about you?
Thanks to RedJen for the link.

I think my stubble is fraying the neckline of my shirt. Why am I just now becoming aware of this problem? Have all my t-shirts been afflicted by this, or does this one have a particularly soft fabric which makes it susceptible to beard stubble? I won't rest until I have answer. Or until I've forgotten about it. Five minutes tops.

I was at the bus stop with about three other people, waiting for the bus (actually one guy seemed to just be hanging out there, but whatever). A fourth guy comes up, and one of the other people says, "Hey man, do you have the time?" I looked at the new guy and saw he had a big, metal banded wrist watch on his left wrist. But he also had stuff in both hands. So he transfers everything from his right hand into his left hand. Then, with his now free right hand, he reaches into his pocket, pulls out his cell phone, flips it open, presses a button, and says, "It's 5:15."
What was the watch for? It really wasn't attractive enough to be decorative.
Weird.

So yesterday morning my toast pops up, and I'm staring at it trying figure out how it fits together, because it's never symmetrical, so if you want your PBJ toast to fit together perfectly, you have to make certain that you butter and jam the right sides. But I couldn't figure it out, and I finally realized it was because the slices came from different parts in the loaf. That's a risk you run when you get down to the end of the loaf. Especially if you've been pulling slices out of the center.
But this morning my toast pops up and it's from a new loaf. It's bizarrely misshapen. The slices look like bat wings or something. It was kind of off-putting at first, because who wants to eat toasted bat wings (apart from Ozzie Osbourn)? But then I realized the weird shape made them super easy to put together correctly, so that was okay. And they didn't taste like toasted bat wings. At least I don't think they did...

Eating lunch in the break room, I get up from my table and take my plate to the sink. Once there I tip the little ranch dressing container into the trash, then I wash my plate off. I toss my paper towel away -- but wait, didn't I have two paper towels? Yes, I think so, but where's the other one? I go back to my table, but it's not there. I decide I only had one after all, and head out, but then I remember having the second one under my plate at one point. There was definitely a second paper towel, but where? I'm almost back to my desk when I remember: I folded up the second paper towel and put in the little ranch dressing container. I threw it away without even seeing it.
I'm glad I got that straighted out. It was really bugging me.
