fruit

how come when I buy grapes, they are bitter and taste nasty, but when I eat grapes at someone's house, they are delicious?

Another reason why I (heart) Snoop Dogg

from Rob Breszny's Free Will Astrology:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming year will be a time to think big -- maybe even bigger than you've dared to think in over a decade. That doesn't mean you should be rash, reckless, or unrealistic. On the contrary. Your expansive dreams should be carefully wrought and anchored in a detailed understanding of how things actually work. As an example of what not to do, learn from Snoop Dogg. The rapper wanted to rent all 62 square miles of the small European nation of Liechtenstein so he could film his music video there. Liechtenstein authorities turned him down, but only because his team didn't ask far enough in advance. Had he been better organized, the whole country could have been his.

YOU CAN RENT LIECHTENSTEIN??????

SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR!

We have survived to celebrate the shortest day of sunlight of the year - the Winter Solstice is today, my friends! Starting tomorrow, we inch our way back to more sunlight!!!!! YAYAYAYAYYAYA!!!

My roommate's daughter and son-in-law are staying over and they graciously woke me up to watch the equinox at 1:30 this morning, which I was very happy to see.

More about the equinox and the eclipse here.

a funny bird

Sentence structure is a funny bird. When I read the headline below, I thought - why is the government studying how people got injured while having sex:

QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Who Had Migraines or Severe Headaches, Pain in the Neck, Lower Back, or Face/Jaw, by Sex

Then I realized that they meant male vs female.

yep

back to the navel gazing. and ire.

old lady

so this weekend i visit friends frannie and frabney and frannie kept calling me old lady - which i totally am. see previous posts below. i am one step away from a hip fracture. one geritol away from boxes of medicine. one melodrama away from a soap opera.

really.

my ailments

so three weeks ago I got these weird bug bites on my leg and hand (not bed bugs - dust mite allergy). two weeks ago my neck muscles start spasming. one week ago, more dust mite bites (seriously people, no bed bugs). this last week, stomach virus and continued neck problems.

really, can't I catch a break already?!

so i got the magic shot

i got the magic shot in my neck to quell the spasms, but then I bend over and hit my head on my desk.

Really, is there no justice?

caveat

i should probably caveat this with i have been dealing with neck and back spasms for the last 5 days. I am generally happy go lucky (unless I have the snarky hat on) but the relentless pain has made me into a very angry person. Hopefully the MD will help fix this and everything will be rosy again. :)

I still hate YAHOO though.

YAHOO MAIL SUCKS

I forgot my password and the answer to the security question and guess how long it took for me to get my password reset. 1 hour? 24 hours? No. It took one week. One week of emails to Yahoo. One week of logging on, attempting three times and then getting locked out for 12 hours. LOCKED OUT. WTF does Yahoo thinks is going to happen in 12 hours? I will miraculously remember my freaking security answer or password in 12 hours???

Today, Yahoo finally sends me a phone number and the customer service rep asks me the SAME DAMN SECURITY QUESTION THAT I CAN'T ANSWER!!!!! Seriously. I told him - if I knew the freaking answer to that question, I wouldn't be talking to you now. He made me try to answer the question three times. And three times i couldn't answer the question. In frustration, I asked if I could speak to his manager because I cannot fathom how my attempting to answer the security question is going to fix this situation. AND the rep said there is no way to reset the password unless I know this answer.

...

Seriously.

Finally, I don't know what made the rep look again (!!! other than me freaking out and saying - what do you mean that's the only way you can reset the password? that can't be the only way you can reset the password!) but then he asked me what email address I included as an alternate. of course, THAT took me three times as well (seriously - my mind erased all information related to this account). But finally, the third time worked and the email address was accepted. THEN he reset my password.

And then the poor schmuck said he would be sending me a survey which will be sent to his manager about the service I received today.

Really.

blog death

I am not saying this blog is dead, BUT i am not very good at updating it. And it's a trend I have noticed with lots of friends. less and less posts, more and more Facebook. I am not sure whether I like this, but it is what it is. So, thanks for hanging in there with me and I will make more of an effort to post :) Pinky swear.

It's all Chinese to me

I don't know which list I got on but this blog gets at least 1 Chinese comment per post. And of course, I have no idea what the comment says. It's very annoying.

upper east side

Ok, I moved on up to the east side to deeee-luxe apartment in the sky. And I just learned that when the electricity is out and the elevators aren't working that you really can't get to work. I mean, I could walk down the many, many flights of stairs, but in the middle of a heat wave? I don't think so.
