Marty, didn't I already send you back to 1985?
Yeah but I need your help fixing the Delorean to get your future self home

You didn't offer at the time.

Because at the time you needed it I was unaware of your dire need for vegetable enhancements.

Oh, so you're saying you keep lots of stuff around for when your vegetables need some enhancement?

Is this the correct place for a "I swear this has never happened to me before" joke?

are you:
a.) not interested in nakid women.
b.) admitting that no woman can live up to the standards set in your mind so they might as well leave it on.
c.) afraid of nudity.

i mean its just skin...

Yeah, but I believe that private bits are just that, private, and they don't need to be flaunted or shown to the whole world.

Besides, there is something to be said for imagination.

I've realised why I hate birthdays: people keep calling or stopping me in the hall to wish me a happy birthday with some kind of... expectation. It's Monday. I went to work, went to the grocery store and I'm going to stay home and do laundry and relax. I don't want to celebrate or party or anything. I just want to chill and be alive.

Anyway, I'm making awesome macaronu cheese for dinner so life is good

Does your fake job pay better than you real job?

Yeah, I feel much the same. In fact, I really don't care much about my birthday. Yeah, cool, another year. Doesn't feel all that different. And I never do anything special.

I haven't done anything at all for my birthday since I moved from Oregon, and not much for a while before that. Ditto for Christmas, except that it was more like just barely going through the motions for several years before I moved, then nothing.

so. funny/embarrassing story time i guess. so there's a fairly new song that's been getting a lot of airtime lately that i'm a big fan of. i, being not the most attentive man on the planet (yeah), never really listened closely enough to deconstruct what exactly the lyrics were about. so finally today, after hearing this song probably a dozen times, it was suggested to me that i should actually listen to the lyrics... at which point i realized this particular song is squarely in the realm of "songs about inappropriate stuff". which makes me a tiny bit embarrassed about listening to it with friends and coworkers in the car >_<

anyway. that's the highlight of my long boring day.

Not true. It has the potential to be both good and bad.
