I needed to laugh.
Sooooo. I wasn’t in the mood to go out. And I didn’t go out after work… I worked and then was feeling tired and cranky and anti-social.
So I decided to try my hand at finding shoes again… WITH NO LUCK. It’s a little more than demoralizing to find that none of the nice/cute shoes I found fit me nicely. At least it’s not because I have fat feet or nasty ankles… nope. I just have wide feet and the shoes I found were all made for narrower feet. Sucks… I felt like crying when I left the store because NOTHING fit me - and I did make the mistake of trying on a few pairs of shorts. They kind of fit me, but looked so horrible, it was making me angry.
When I got home, I popped in my newest Netflix arrival - Sarah Silverman’s “Jesus is Magic”. It’s a stand-up routine interspersed with musical and other such comedy skits. Right now, she’s performing a country version of “Amazing Grace,” and holding a microphone to her crotch and her butt and they are singing backup and harmony (it’s her band members providing voices for her crotch and butt, by the way…)
It’s not for anyone who has any sense of the sacred… nothing is sacred here. For example, she tells a joke about explaining AIDS to her niece and says, “When God gives you AIDS, you make lemon-AIDS.” My generic eva review would be, “It’s so wrong, it’s funny.” More so than “Family Guy”, which I’ve also called, “so wrong, it’s funny.”
She was talking about how much she loves Fiji water… and I felt compelled to look her up on imdb.com. Heh.
She was “born in Bedford, New Hampshire to Jewish-American parents Donald and Beth Ann Silverman, of Polish descent… Silverman attended New York University for one year, but left to concentrate on her stand-up career.” I think it’s just a series of entertaining commonalities - like when you find out that someone else shares the same quirk(s) that you do. I get excited when I find another person who hates creamy peanut butter. So it was fun to find another smart, irreverent chick who likes Fiji water, is of Polish descent and went to NYU. Except I’m not Jewish, tall and thin, famous, as funny, as irreverent, dating Jimmy Kimmel and don’t have my own DVD.
Now I might go find something to eat. I didn’t have dinner and only had a salad for lunch, so perhaps I will have a bowl of cereal.
Rumor has it that we’ll be getting out of work early tomorrow; everyone was waiting for the email from the CEO today, but it might come tomorrow morning. I don’t know if that will mean a half-day (12:30) or just an earlier day (3:00?)… but we have Monday and Tuesday off, so I’m actually OK with a full day tomorrow. I have enough work to fill it. I should check the train schedule just in case so I know what my options are. Actually, I can’t leave early even if we all do… we have a podcast recording from 1 to 3, and I have to be there for that. Nevermind. It all works out.
You know, I’m almost tempted to go out and get myself some Chicken McNuggets. I won’t, but it’s pretty sad that I’m craving them. I could go to the supermarket and get a new cereal… I am quite influenced by commercials for new things. I saw a commercial for All-Bran Yogurt Bites. All-Bran flakes with yogurt cluster things - 40% of your daily fiber in a serving!!! I’d rock that. However, I find that I am too tired to go… and that the prospect of asking family members to move their cars out of the way so I can go buy cereal is just overwhelming at this moment in time. I want to sleep.
