The Three Stages of Monday Enacted by Toys In Photograph Form*

*Photos are blurry and cropped horribly because it's fairly difficult to take and edit pictures of toys whilst one is supposed to be working. It seems such activities are somehow not on my list of job duties and therefore frowned upon.

Much like the six stages of grief, every Monday has stages. Stage One is Utter Forlorn and Abject Sadness. Sometimes looks like a "hangover". May or may not be accompanied by profuse vomiting.

I am cast down

[On this one, it kind of looks like I wrote "WHY, GOP, WHY" which is a good question as well. The G.O.P. has a lot to answer for.]

Stage Two = A Furious and Smoldering Anger. May resemble "the middle finger". WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to make me work!


Stage Three is Sweet and Delicious Apathy when you realise there is no escaping your foxhole. Best dealt with a heaping helping of denial and, if you're a lucky bitch that can dupe your doctor into giving you some, Xanaxs (Xanaxes? That looks like the name of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh.)
Oh Great Xanaxes, let your people go...from work.


If your Monday is particularly dragging, you might make it through Stage Three, wake up with paperclip indents on your face and Post-It Notes stuck in your hair, and move to the ever-elusive but always fun Stage Four - Total Lunacy - wherein you will post photos of unrelated sausages.

Part B to Stage Four: Semi-related Grenades, to be saved for next Monday's anger phase.
You can tell I got tired of writing in MS Paint here at the end where my handwriting becomes illegible. Also I was very nearly caught.

TAKE HER FROM ABOVE

Nancy Flapsticks briefly becomes interesting

In some weird turn of events I cannot explain without going into the stupidity of my paycheck-giver, I received an email at work that appeared to be from a coworker but was actually spam.  I was so disappointed when I found out that Nancy Flapsticks (not her real name) didn't actually send me an email with the subject line "TAKE HER FROM ABOVE!" This may or may not surprise you but I am extremely interested in helpful hints on taking women from above.  I'm rusty.

I spent several humorous minutes imagining someone trying to take another from above.  I pictured them perched nude on a dresser, silently plotting and grinning, ready to fly at their significant other as soon as the unsuspecting fool walked through the bedroom door, landing around their shoulders.  And then the person taken from above would start twisting violently and screaming "GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!"  And then the dresser percher would get all offended and pouty, "Look I was just trying to spice up our love life. If you haven't noticed it's gotten a little stale lately. I got an email at work and I thought you would love it." And the other person would start crying, "Our love life is stale? You think I'm fat, don't you." And then Take Her From Above Person would start making up the couch because that's where they would be sleeping for a good week.

However I never, ever, ever want to imagine Nancy Flapsticks taking anyone, in any way, in any position.  In my mind she has the genitals of a Ken doll.  Smooth, baby.  There's nothing there. 

Halloween in Ohio

Okay, we need to discuss this.  My father lives in Ohio for some bizarre reason I can't explain any more than I can explain why Jessica Biel ever thought Justin Timberlake was a sexual being worthy of love. I mean if they are playing beard to each other she needs to realise this is 2009, furthermore not necessary, and just date me. 

Ohio is cool I suppose (but really...if you live there, God I am ever so sorry) but seriously Ohio, you need to stop some nonsense.  Apparently several towns in Ohio just arbitrarily decide when they are going to celebrate Halloween.  For instance, even though Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, Ohio decided Halloween will be celebrated on October 29th.  A Thursday. 

Ohio?  Who the fuck do you think you are?  No.  I want to know.  Halloween is October 31st.  This is the way the rest of the USA celebrates it.  But Ohio decides every year to change it and I am serious.  Every year they change the day Halloween is celebrated.  What the fuck you assholes.  This actually really makes me mad. This is no mere hyperbole you read.  I just punched my printer over this.  What did my printer do to deserve that?  None of your business but it didn't agree with me, if you must know.

What kind of sickening hubris is this?  Can Idaho just decide that Christmas will now be on December 14th?  Can Montana just decide the 4th of July will now be celebrated on August 1st?  This sort of thinking will promote anarchy, my friends, anarchy, chaos, and fucking overbearing presumption and overweening (haha ween) supercilious arrogance and I'm just not going to stand for it.  I've declared war on Imperial Ohio. So you might want to get out if you live there.  It needs but one foe to breed a war, and those who have not swords can still die upon them.

Real men = balls

Why, when someone does something gutsy or brave, is it still described as "ballsy"?  "You've got balls son!"  Any man can have balls.  Balls are not really something I would use to describe something awesome like bravery.  [Lest you think I'm a moron, I do know the real reason - it's sexist.  Men are brave and have balls so ballsy=brave=awesome and women are weak and have vaginas and are never brave so therefore ladies=pussy=weak blah blah fuck off sexists come into the now etc]

I'm just saying, balls are funny.

Further proof I am actually a teen boy

I bought this face powder because it looks like:

Yeah, a boob. But it's actually a nice face powder as well, so bonus points to me. I win yet again at the game of life.  Boob-resembling face powders make me spend my dollars.

Other things that make me open my wallet?  Xbox games, fine tequilas, movies with Jessica Biel in them which I invariably have to fast forward to the good parts (Powder Blue, I'm staring expressly at you), and assorted other things I best not mention in polite company.

I almost died in the bathroom but I am not Elvis

Warning: do not read this if you have a problem with the idea of girls peeing (you know who you are).

Since quitting caffeine I've been imbibing rivers of water.  (If you're currently experiencing a drought in your area- terribly sorry for my involvement. If you ever had dreams about visiting the Nile - I do apologise, it's gone.)  Consequently I sometimes have to, you know, use the loo.

Spending so much time in the W.C., of late, I've developed a Favourite Stall.  It's probably for handicappers and therefore I'm reprehensible for using it but my god it's so spacious.  It's luxurious.  The one stall is twice as big as my home's bathroom.  Plus the toilet is higher off the ground which eliminates the OHMYGODI'MGOINGTOHITTHEGROUND feeling one gets when one is forced to free fall 20 feet just to make ass contact with those loathsome toilets designed for Lilliputians.  I dislike that sensation and I certainly don't need that kind of fear and stress in my life.  Not in the bathroom, at any rate.

This is only PARTof this glorious stall. Pure luxury. Look at the leg room.

So I was in there, moving in to sit, when I somehow, magically and totally, missed the toilet.  I'm not sure how it happened but I'm just going to say: Rude Fucking Awakening. Cold tile met ass as bare as Baby New Year, delicate tailbone met ground harder than the heart of Russell Crowe, dignity met the door as it sprinted away from me with the alacrity of a dumb gazelle after it has accidentally strayed into Lion Town.

I don't even know how it happened, nor how I managed to fall not on the super luxurious and roomy side:

SOMUCHROOMOVERHERE

but on the side with no luxury whatsoever:

here I laid, splayed, yet cramped

but as is my custom that is precisely what I did - the most difficult and simultaneously humiliating thing possible.  This is how I operate, this is how I have rolled in the past, this is seemingly going to be my custom and way in the future.

Answer to your unasked question: It's the Nyquil

I'm so excited because after a week of trying unsuccessfully I'm finally getting a free poster of a drunk Kraken.  I'm not entirely sure my life can get better than this, unless I become rich and famous and rich and also famously wealthy.

Thales of Miletus, this is for you

I didn't feel well yesterday and since it was monsoon raining out of doors I thought, "Fuck this shit I'm staying home and furthermore I am celebrating not being at work with the liberal use of Netflix and Tivo and Xbox and the reading of trashy things on the internet and the taking of long, hot, soapy showers."  Instead the power went out.  Damn you, seasons, damn you, you damn dirty weather.  Damnit. 

It is decidedly cold, dark, and quiet without 800 electrical gadgets whirring at all at once, and the silence that then descends is an unseen but creepy hand winding mummy's gauze round your head.  And then you cry because there isn't a flipping thing to do without sweet electricity, plus you have a creepy invisible hand floating around your house but you can't see it because for one, the hand is invisible and two, no electricity... and also you have mummy's gauze all up in your face.

Things became problematic.  The shit got real.  And I couldn't even drown my sorrows in caffeine because some a-hole called me thought it would be a great idea to quit it.

I sat hunched by a window trying to eke out enough thin grey light from the window to read by.  That lasted a few chapters before I threw the book across the room and started swearing, possibly because I was recently informed that I am "mercurial".  Knowing I can't even handle a few hours sans power without turning into the insolent child of a wayward salty-tongued sailor who never spared me the latest electrical gadget made me even more swear-y and mercurial-ish.

I was thusly forced to spend the day sleeping and swearing and falling back into angry sleep and then waking up only to swear some more and one time just to kick a wall I could barely see because simply it was very dark.  When the power finally came back on ten hours later I celebrated with an orgy of electricity.  I turned on every light, every gadget, every appliance I could get my greedy hands on.  I ran the washing machine and the dryer and the dishwasher, laughing maniacally all the while, my hands filled with now-charged phones and 40 remotes for various things. I'm not necessarily "proud" of this but I can only record what happened.

To sum up, I found out yesterday that I have a burning passion for Coulomb and Ampere and Ohm, Ben Franklin and Edison and Nikola Tesla and especially Alessandro Volta.  Thanks for everything, electrical dudes.  I'll never get mad at static cling again.

I lapsed into rude

Today I invented a new reality show.  It's going to be called "Hi!  You're a rude fucker!"*  Here's what it will entail:   Someone will walk around with a hidden camera on their person waiting for strangers to say rude, unsolicited comments.  Then the victim of the mannerless twat will respond in a humourous but pointed way, calling out said twat.

*Title is a work in progress 

For example, Rude Dick will, as rude dicks are ever faithful to do, say something they have no business saying to a stranger.  The victim will have funny but equally rude comments to give back.  Such as:
Stranger: "Wow, you sure look tired today!"
Victim: "Wow, you sure look chinless and ineffectual and big-nosed today!  What?  Are we not sharing first impressions?  I thought we were.  You went first, then it was my turn."
Stranger:  "You look pale, are you sick?"
Victim:  "You look like a tool, are you an asshole?  Because you have that look.  I hope you're okay.  I'm concerned for your well-being."
Stranger:  "When is your baby due?"
Victim:  "Probably around the same time the Cock Fairy delivers you a visible wang.  What? I thought we were just trading our innermost thoughts here."
Stranger:  "Smile! You look mad."
Victim:  "Oh I look mad, do I?  Well that's because I am mad.  Mad at your gigantic gut.  What?  Why are you mad?  I thought we were in the trust tree, with the nest.  Were we not?"
Stranger:  "Whoa, you sure are tall!  Do you play basketball?"
Victim:  "Whoa, you sure are cross-eyed!  Can you look at two different people when you talk?  COOL."
Stranger, grabbing:  "I'm just going to use your pen for a second."
Victim, grabbing back:  "Sure, I'm just going to use your Visa card for a second.  BRB."
Stranger:  "Is your purse one of those fakes?"
Victim:  "Was your forehead replaced with a wax candle or is it Botox?"
I have more ideas for shows, don't you worry.  I can tell you were worried.  This is needless.  I am a fount of ideas.
