I guess "spooning" was taken

I realized tonight that I’ve become old. The stuff I did in high school is apparently no longer as cool as it used to be. Putting the school up for sale and rolling people’s cars have been ousted as the popular pranks. By what you ask?

Forking.

I was minding my business and talking to a load of lovely ladies online when, long story short… I discover Lydia, Rachel, Lucas, and 3 more Woods attempting to fork my yard. If you’re not familiar with this jovial new sport, just imagine your yard flamingoed. Now change those unsightly avians to disposable eating utensils. That’s right. Your imagination has just been forked.

Fortunately I was able to foil this plot with less effort than picking up 8 gas stations’ worth of throwaway dinnerware. And it gave me something to write about.

The moral of the story: stay awake longer than potential prankers.

Work.Sleep.Music.Baby.

So that’s a terrible play on a Gwen Stephani album title, but it’s all the creativity I could muster. At any rate, that seems to be my life lately. But the work is finally chilling out. The best thing is that I’m making this post from work. Week four at Albemarle Music is rocking. Not that I’m not going to miss Goody’s a little bit (mostly the people) but it’s wonderful to be able to sit down once in a while, to be done at 7 every day and off on Sunday. Plus I’m playing guitars and talking to chill people all day. No more 11:00pm recovery and only half the 7:00am trucks to process.

In summary of my general job thoughts: don’t work two at once. It causes a total lack of sleep. Which at least in my case is also caused by night sailing and Midnight Matrix Marathons. And even if it wasn’t I’d probably still blame it on Mike, James and Adam. Either way I went to bed at 10:30 last night and got up at 9:30 this morning and I’m on a picture-taking kick lately. Expect to see some chaos.

And if anybody knows where I can find a cheap, light, laptop with a relatively new/nice processor and RAM, even one without an Operating System, I’m in the market.
