I know I have been less than substantive in my blog posts lately, and it is not that I do not have that much to say (okay, maybe it is). However, October has been an inordinately busy month at work and extra-curricularly (is that even a word?), which has really just kind of left me in a literary lurch -- not knowing where to even begin. When I first started blogging, I went on and on at great detail about what is happening, and I'm not sure anyone gave a damn about it.
Since I'm not feeling the need to produce interconnected narrative, I'm just going to bullet the things swirling in my head right now:
- Halloween - I'm going to admit a gay sacrilege. I'm not a huge fan of Halloween. I do love that other people get into it so much, and I certainly enjoy all the creative outfits. However, when it comes to me in a costume, well, I'd rather just skip it. The fact that it is a Gay High Holy Month, just makes it all the worse, because god forbid, we actually wear the same outfit twice. So, I'm faced with buying two outfits for a party on Friday and the Bag Lady Bus Tour on Saturday. Oy! At least I know what I'm going to go as (Herman Munster & The Mad Hatter), but finding the time between now and Friday to hit Goodwill is just going to be nigh on impossible. I'm considering taking a half day on Thursday. We'll see. I'll also need to get a third outfit for the Grande Masquerade on the 1st. Oy...
- Parking Tickets - I will be starting my third year at my current apartment, and with my lease renewal, I sent in some minor complaints that I would love to have addressed. The first, of course, was the fixing of my ceiling tit, which doesn't leak anymore...it just looks ugly. The second was I noticed my french doors leaked a little when they were getting pelted with rain, which doesn't happen often because they are east facing, but it is more the notion that if they leak water they certainly leak air. Finally, I wanted them to repaint the lines in the parking lot because they have faded so badly, my nimrod neighbors can't seem to park in anyway resembling an organized fashion. Oddly, they've painted the handicap places, which is funny because not only do you have to go down steps to get to the buildings, there are no elevators. So, if you're handicap, this is not the building for you. Anyway, my complaint is because we tend to be full on weekends, not because of too many cars, but because the neighbors park stupidly. So, when I get home late at night, I can't find a parking place, which is what happened on Sunday. Now, we share a lot with some sort of half way house (yeah no clue), and the only spot left was one marked for employees. Well, since my only other option was to sit in the lot and wait for someone to leave, which was unlikely at 11:00 on a Sunday night, I just took the spot. Yeah, I know. When I went out to get in my car to go the Grand Masquerade meeting, I had a parking ticket -- in my own parking lot! PISSED!
- OMG is Dead - Appropos of nothing, I sent my mother a link from the Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ - Daily...HA!), that talked about the dump in our hometown being fitted with generators to convert methane gas to electricity. I grew up out in the country near a lot of farmland, but about 4 miles from my house was also the aforementioned dump, which might explain the third eye that I desperately try to conceal. I thought it was a cool idea that my mother would find interesting. And then it happened. My 61 year old mother replied with "OMG! I wonder if your grandmother knows about this!" My Mother. Actually typed..."OMG!". Seriously... (though as a sidebar, I giggled at the end of Gossip Girl last night when they showed the first album of original music used in the series is being called OMFGG - Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl - that I choose to actually think is Oh My eFFin Gossip Girl).
Have you ever watched a music video that seems to actually have nothing to do with the song lyrically. Well, someone on YouTube has recorded a literal lyrical version of "Take on Me" by A-Ha. It's pretty hysterical!
