Some random thoughts and events from the last couple of days…

  • I absolutely ADORE my friends. They are the best.
  • I won $4 at Turfway Park last night. Not bad considering I only bet $1.
  • I bet on horses based on their name.
  • $1 beers are good, even if it’s crappy beer.
  • Margaritas, particularly good ones, are the bomb.
  • The Office and 30 Rock are absolutely hilarious. If you don’t watch them, you should start.
  • I gave dollar tips to drag queens doing a charity show at a “country/western” gay bar. A country/western gay bar is a difficult concept to comprehend, unless you’re actually there. There was a big poster of Reba McIntire holding a bag of Fritos. That was pretty funny. But it would’ve been even funnier if she was eating them.
  • Some of the drag queens had nicer legs than me. There’s something just not fair about that.
  • I drove to work on a Saturday in 3″ of snow and freezing rain. When I was about halfway here, I decided that I might be retarded for doing so. But I was already halfway and I could use the extra cash. I got to work and there was an equally retarded co-worker here as well. He told me he did a “180″ on his way here. I’m thinking he is way more retarded than I am.
  • Pumpkin donuts are yummy…especially when paired with a caramel latte.
  • I like snow, but freezing rain and ice are not my friends.
  • I still haven’t finished my Christmas shopping. I really need to get crack-a-lackin on that.
  • The copier at work sounds like a helicopter. I’m convinced that one day it’s going take off and fly far, far away to “copier heaven.”
  • I wish I could sleep past 9am.

We got our first snowfall of the season in Cincinnati this morning. It began before dawn and we had about 2″ of snow on the ground when I left for work (about 7:15am). Surprisingly, my commute wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated… although there were plenty of accidents everywhere else around the city.
