The Variable

Sorry for the later-than-usual posting this Wednesday guys, but I’ve been up all night performing the ancient dance that is known locally as helpin’ someone move. Why was I doing this all night instead of all day? Because it’s not funny that way, and if I were doing it during the day then I would’ve been able to see the things we were taking out to the trash and not trip and fall constantly and probably not get that damn parking ticket for being parked legally on the street. At least LOST’s 100th episode is tonight, or I would just throw this Nintendo DS that I just got back after months of it being missing in that apartment straight through the window. Geez. I need coffee. And LOST.

Hotels are weird. They advertise the fuck out of weddings and tell you to call them and have your wedding done there, but then when you call they portray themselves as diffident bystanders, wondering what exactly it is that you believe a “wedding” to be, and demand to know your true intentions. This is of course preposterous, and when I then explain my true intentions they transfer me directly to a voicemail box and laugh as I wait for them to call me back. Did this happen to me directly? In a way, I mean, mostly no, but I totally know what I’m talking about and it’s not the lack of sleep. Well the joke’s on them, though. In spite of their caducity I will hold my wedding in a motel and broadcast the entire thing through some sort of interfeed right into their lobby. Then we’ll see who’s laughing! I encourage all of my engaged friends to do the same.

Also, much to my surprise, “The Glass City” (mine, not Toledo) was not named the city with the world’s best quality of living recently the management company Mercer. For the first time ever, my blog was soundly defeated by Vienna. First of all, I find it hard to believe that Vienna has so much more to offer than my blog. What’ve they got that I don’t? According to the study, excellent scores in the areas of: education, natural environment, housing, recreation, and political stability. While my blog may not have any of those, it DOES have this:

Thats right, kittens climbing trees.
