Random Wednesday Evening Thoughts

Here are a few of the random things going through my pea brain on this Wednesday evening.

  • I haven’t shaved in nine days. If I don’t shave tomorrow you will hear me screaming from hundreds if not thousands of miles away as I tear the flesh from my face because I can’t stand the itch anymore.
  • What is it about that cats that makes them go from sitting calmly on the chair with each other one second to savagely trying to maul each other the next second? Is it me? Did I do something to cause the armageddon? The cat-mageddon if you will?
  • I really hope that Washington, DC gets hit with a massive, catastrophic blizzard on Monday (January 20th). Not the whole city, just the national mall. Really, just one end of the national mall. The end with the capital building. Like, a strategically placed blizzard. Yeah, that would be nice.
  • March 14th is going to be a big musical day for me. There’s a new album by Envy of None coming out that day. There’s only one member of Rush releasing music these days, Alex Lifeson, and Envy of None is his new band. Rush, of course, being one of two bands that, musically speaking, drastically turned my musical world upside down. The other band that, musically speaking, drastically turned my musical world upside down? Throwing Muses. Guess what? Throwing Muses is also releasing a new album on March 14th. Holy Shit Snacks!

Weekend Project Interlude

We’re getting a bit of a later start today. Jen has already done some rearranging in the kitchen and the office. I haven’t.

Four days in a row I’ve woken up in the morning and the first thought in my head was if I don’t shave this fur coat off of my face today I am going to go insane. Four days in a row I failed to shave the fur coat off of my face. I mean, I had more hair on my face than the cat. It was long enough to pull and itchy as all hell.

Today is day five. I woke up and said if I don’t shave today I am going to go insane… and then I shaved.

I feel (and probably look) like a different person. My back and my legs are killing me from yesterday, but my face is beard-free.

It’s a good day.

Back to Reality

Each morning over the last two plus weeks I presented myself with a question:

You can either shave today, or spend an extra five minutes working on RPM.

Each day I chose RPM.  Well, RPM is over now.  I did not have to pose the question today.  I have finally shaved the shag carpet that was causing my whole face to be an unbearably itchy mess.

I feel much better.  Oh what a relief!  When we go to our weight watchers meeting tomorrow and weigh in I expect to be at least 15 pounds lighter than I was when I woke up this morning.

Ahhhhh!
