jianantonicHave you ever seen those advertisements for the new contraceptive (well, anticonception) called Plan B? If you use yahoo for anything, you probably have. Anyway, it makes me laugh, because ever since my brother made a comment about the immaturity of referring to bowel movements as "number 2," I've referred to them as "plan B." Heh.
Jer and I had a good talk last night, and now the only things pissing me off are the hurty foot and the sucky job; both things that I hope are over by Falcon Ridge. We'll see. The job may outlast the achy foot. I guess I'd rather have it that way than the other...
I guess I'm also a little pissed that the Dbacks are sputtering. It's sad. They're still in second place in the NL west, but, alas, they are not doing well. I'd also rather them suck all season than have a hurty foot for the rest of the month.
In good foot news, I've done some walking today. It comes and goes. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. It's easiest on soft carpet. I guess that's because the bruising is still worst on the bottom of my foot. Hopefully I can keep making progress. I want to go swimming tomorrow, but I'm still concerned about the logistics about getting from the entrance to the pool, which is down a flight of stairs, and then from the locker room to the pool itself. Maybe I can get away with no visit to the locker room, but I still imagine it will be a challenge. Pray for me and my pathetic foot. Thanks.
I watched the second Harry Potter movie today. As the literary purist that I am, I really can't like the movies. They stray too far from the book. Nevertheless I am drawn to them, because I love to see the characters embodied, although I do get a rather good mental picture from the book. The point is I don't respect the movies but I will continue to watch them out of curiosity and love of the actors.
Two questions about people on the phone:
Why do people say "how are you?" but then not give you a chance to answer it? I guess this happens in real life (as opposed to the more fake life on the phone), but it happens a lot on the phones.
Why do people say "yes" to begin a conversation?
Example: Massanutten Resort, how may I direct your call?
Caller: Yes, I need to speak to someone about a timeshare...
Both of these have become huge pet peeves of mine. Grr.
Peace.
