Halloween

So I am thinking about halloween... and I have some ideas for costumes... suggestions, like or dislike the list...let me know. Especially since my last two Halloweens were weak.

1) Smurf

2) Dice

3) 3-Hole punched paper

4) Bert or Ernie

5) Dwight

6) Twinkie the Kid -- would need some help and a yellow mat probably

7) Ghostbuster

Other ideas?

Things I love thursdays...

This is something that Megan does so I figured why not...This is some stuff I am digging this week...

-The Yankees are amazing (even though tonight is a little different.) Most importantly CC Sabathia is a best and love him or hate him A-rod has been performing (over .450 and five home runs in the playoffs)

-my job interview went really well last week (even though im pretty sure I did not get it)... still felt good

-Lost has been my new thing. I have gone through season 1 in a week. Season 2 is starting crazy but I am excited

-Seeing c-dawes, noonan and megan this weekend

-Probably Oneonta for Halloween (dont ask about details, idk)

-dinner with the fam tonight

-thinking about halloween costumes...ideas?

No no... You are inappropriate

I do a lot of things often. Things I do not do often include being embarrassed, conceding to defeat when I believe I am correct, not thinking about what I say to strangers and regretting decisions that I have made. I did all of these things tonight and it really makes me want to go back to that KFC and tell someone off.

Rewind...

Today I went to pick up KFC for Cameron (guy I work with) and myself. I was told that Cameron's food would take 3 minutes so I took the cup that I was given and got some Wild Cherry Pepsi. I had a few sips, refilled, had a few sips, refilled and capped it. The women standing behind me who was about a mom's age (my mom not my age and an infant's mom) said, "Excuse me...do you know how inappropriate that is?" I was shocked and instantly felt bad. She explained that with swine flu and germs I should not drink out of a cup and put it back up to the fountain. I told her I have never thought of that and if it had occurred to me it was a problem I would not have done it. I felt awkward and out of place and wanted her to leave before the lecture continued. Then I spent the next half hour thinking about this.

I realized that not only did I do nothing wrong...but she was in fact the one who was inappropriate. How dare her lecture/confront me about doing something that is both allowed and in now way spreads germs. I should have told her that she was inappropriate for telling me what I was doing was wrong, not minding her own buisness, and watching too much bullshit news and being a hypochondriac.

I do not regret much...but she should have been slapped...or at least politely told she was mistaken.

SATs, GREs, Saturdays

I was on Facebook and Zara I Kick Ass Hickman had a status up about how much time until she needs to take her GRE's. Using my amazing mathematical ability and prior knowledge about these tests I realized that this means her test is on a Saturday.

Test and Saturday are two words that should never be used in the same sentence...

What the hell gives people the right to take away a kid or young adults Saturday. Education tests, GRE's and SAT's you are by far bogus. I remember waking up at 7am to drive to Connecticut to take a test when I was in eleventh grade and it is kind of ridiculous. I mean lets break it down...

52 Saturdays in a year

-12 (assuming you work about once a month)

-3 (spending time with the family because a holiday falls on that day)

-3 (other family gatherings, weddings, etc)

Okay so the math doesnt add up like I want but how many weekends can you really just chill. Monday-Friday is school shit, Saturday is supposed to be your day, Sunday is football/recovery/catch up on work. It just is not right to have a test that matters so much on a Saturday. I dont approve. You should be excused from class to take major tests and they should happen when school happens, Monday-Friday.

AND Obama wants to lengthen the school year/school day. Kids should get recess play with blocks and live their lives.

Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and I wont ruin the surprise

So last night my plan was to go home and not do anything. Partially because I need to stop spending money and get stuff done involving applications and my house and partially because half my friends were cut out of the picture because they were seeing Zombieland. I do not think I had ever even paid attention to a full add because the idea of this movie seemed so incredibly stupid.

Even going into the movie I was saying that I would not enjoy the movie and now it is all I can think about. I don't want to necessarily say it was good, but I can't say it was bad. It was definitely one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen. It had a great cast and the begining was a little to ridiculous but it really did have a plot. Their was some decent stuff. I just want to see it again to decide if it was good. I definitely recommend checking it out.

"Nut up or Shut up"

United States Postal Service

Dear Postal Customer:

The enclosed has been damaged in handling in the Postal Service. The United States Postal Service is constantly striving to prevent damage to mail. However, there are instances where mail is received improperly packaged or sealed. When this happens some damage may occur due to the mechanized equipment required to process the enormous mail volume. I sincerely regret the damage to your mail and any inconvenience which may have resulted.

Plant Manager

First of all... when I was at the post office this morning I was thinking about how spot on the postal service is. Think about everywhere you go and everything you do (college offices, retail locations, supermarket, cell phone companies) it all gets messed up sometimes. You deal with a line, someone who doesn't know what they are talking about and you leave unsatisfied or satisfied after talking to 6 people. But the post office does not fuck up.

I was obviously wrong when I got home and received this letter but I thought about how rare it happens. So I have seen this thing once, and my mom never has. Together we have probably recieved about 65,453,444 pieces of mail and mistakes are so freaking rare but whats even funnier is what piece of mail was ripped in half (only half was delivered.)

It was a notification that the Oneonta Alumni have an event in NYC. Why is the plant manager sorry I missed that?
