i don't know why, but i've been in a damned good mood lately. laughing, joking, and generally having a decent time at work and at home (even if it's laughing with myself). i will not question it. i will not ponder it. i will acknowlege it though.

plus i just had a great side order of mac&cheese! ;-)

a very very good friend of mine sent me this:

How To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with
sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars.
See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise
your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask
if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it
"in."

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once
everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions,
switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for
sexual favors."

7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with
the prophecy."

8. Dont use any punctuation marks

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically
after they answer.

11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems
don't rhyme.

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play
a tape of jungle sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't
attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling
name, Rock Hard Kim.

17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won!
I won! 3rd time this week!!!!!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the
parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're
loose!!"

19. Tell your children over dinner. "due to the
economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

20. Phone people (preferably people who live in a very conservative
area) and say something like, "Good morning. I'm calling from
(give name of phony organization), and we're doing phone surveys
on controversial issues. Tell me, do you approve of marriage
between a man and a woman?"
If the person says that he or she does approve, sound surprised
and rather impressed. If the person tries to tell you about the
kinds of marriages of which he/she does NOT approve, politely
but firmly tell the person that that is not the focus of this
survey. And if the person asks why you are doing this, you might
vaguely (but only vaguely) hint that Congress may soon be voting
on a bill that could affect the validity of marriage between
a man and a woman. At the end of the conversation, thank the
person very graciously for his/her participation.

PS. happy birthday shout out to Thom Yorke (wherever you are you miserably brilliant lazy-eyed, cute chinned man you...)
