Stubborn Spouses

A testament to how stubborn my husband and I are:

B: Want to watch Fringe?
J: Sure.
B: Okay, it’s on the dvr in the other room.
J: Okay, let’s go.

*I become distracted by a commercial*

J: Hey! Get a move on!
B: What?
J: I’m not getting up until you get up.
B: Well, I’m not getting up until you get up. I don’t like being bossed.
J: Well, I guess we’re not watching tv then.
B: I guess not.

*time passes and eventually Jim, who was lying on the floor during this discussion, begins to pull himself along the floor like a slug, grunting*

B: What the hell are you doing?
J: I have to pee, and I’m not getting up.
B: What are you going to do when you get to the bathroom?
J: I’m going to push and hope for the best.

*hysterical laughter from B’s spot on the couch*

So, I stayed in here typing all of this up, and Jim eventually dragged himself all the way to the bathroom and something must have gone okay because he flushed and then I heard a thump and he is now dragging himself down the hallway to the bedroom.

J: Come on! I don’t have all day!
B: Are you seriously still on the floor?

*silence from the hallway*

So, I’m going to get up and go down to watch Fringe in the bedroom, but not until he actually drags himself all the way to the bed, so he gives in on getting up first.

We are stubbornheads.

I have to go… he’s on the bed and hollering pathetically. LOL.

This is a hilarious clip of some online celebrity blogger-types who went speed dating for Meebo and some online speed dating site that I've already forgotten the name of.

Epic Accomplishments Today

I successfully implemented Google Mail with my domain, which, for a non-l33t like myself, was incredibly complicated and I didn't ask anyone for help AT ALL. I did it myself and tweaked my domain setup and now I can check monkey at brandice dot net through Gmail!!

https://google.com/a

Also, I put in a shift at internship AND I got a QSR done for work, all while still incredibly tired from staying until 5:00 a.m. yesterday morning.

ALSO, I did the Peanut Butter Jelly Time dance live on my lifestream and am rocking my Indians hat because we are GOING to the World Series, beetches!

Shopping for Essentials

[info]misfitmonkey
Ironic simultaneous purchases today: Condoms + facial cleansing wipes. They are unrelated purchases, but quite funny to buy both at one time.

Also, may I just ask WHY I have to stand directly in front of the pharmacy counter to shop for condoms? Let's be real here, people. I'm engaged, I live with my fiance, we've been together for 4 1/2 years. We have sex. We use protection because we're not idiots. Why am I always punished with the all-humiliating experience of having the pharmacist stare you down as you try to quickly pick the correct rubbers?

Rite Aid, I am disappointed in you. Stop judging me!

WoW meets the Simpsons + Character Dances

Things my little brothers say...

I seriously have the funniest little brothers ever. I was so mad at myself that I forgot the camera today when I went to their preschool program. It was absolutely hilarious. Afterward, I went back to the house with them and had dinner.

BEN: Excuse me, Mama?
MOM: Yes, Benji.
BEN: Who built us?
MOM: I don't know, I think God built us.

BEN: Excuse me, Mama?
MOM:Yes, Benji.
BEN: Who built this wall?
MOM: Grandpa's uncle built this wall a long time ago.

BEN: 'Skewwwwz me Mama.
MOM: *sigh* YES, Benji? Mommy's trying to talk to Dada.
BEN: Who built the light?
MOM: Dada built the light --

MAX: OHHHH, Mama, who built DINNER?
MOM: ...well, Dada built that too.

If I were to have a signature dish at an omelette shop, it would be called The Cheesy Egg Yumlette. DO NOT STEAL MY IDEA.

Food is my only desire in the universe

Feasting on yellow jello and beef broth for the entirety of today has completely and utterly addled my starving brain, but I still had the good sense to think my boyfriend is the best and most considerate person in the entire world to have finally located sugar free popsicles that don't have red dye in them (banana! yay!).

This small but incredibly significant change in my diet has possibly been my salvation. Life has meaning where there are banana popsicles, YAY! :)

Also, my "past life diagnosis":

http://www.thebigview.com/pastlife/


I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern North Canada around the year 475. Your profession was that of a artist, magician or fortune teller.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Bohemian personality, mysterious, highly gifted, capable to understand ancient books. With a magician's abilities, you could have been a servant of dark forces.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your task is to learn determination and persistency. Youd should not allow to let misfortunes take influence on your strong will.

lol: Fastidious = moi
me couch
[info]misfitmonkey
I have been described as such:
Main Entry: fas·tid·i·ous
Pronunciation: fa-'sti-dE-&s, f&-
Function: adjective
1 archaic : scornful
2 a : having high and often capricious standards : difficult to please <critics...so fastidious that they can talk only to a small circle of initiates>  b : showing or demanding excessive delicacy or care c : reflecting a meticulous, sensitive, or demanding attitude <fastidious workmanship>
Mmm... I like that word. :)  I also like that I have incredibly high standards and don't take prisoners, so this word is the Word of the Day and my new favorite word of the moment.

Maybe I will also turn it into a verb and "fastidify" yo' butt.  *tough look*
