sundries - brief, weird

  • A way no office meeting should start:

    "Does anyone have any issues they'd like to raise?"
    "There are worms on the kitchen ceiling again."

  • I almost feel silly continuing this post after that. Because nothing else I have to say could possibly top it. Oh let's see: I had a meltdown at work today -- sobbing -- just too much to learn, too much to keep up with, expectations too high, somewhere where I'm isolated and tired. Now, of course, I feel completely embarrassed and ashamed about it, but wow, I needed that. I don't know.

  • At dinner tonight someone told me about "flounder stomping." IS THIS TRUE? PUTTING ON SPECIAL SHOES TO STOMP ON FISH IN THE MUDFLATS? Why, oh why?

  • You all are right about the opera, of course. It's boggling to me that _I_ was angling to wear jeans. Me! I just look so hot and so masculine in this jeans, they are my favorite thing ever. Alas. So, I'm going to wear my black suit, now it's a matter of shirt and tie -- flash colors, or white shirt with black tie with the fine silver stripe? Help me out! You all know the contents of my wardrobe anyway -- I post shirt pictures often enough.

  • Finally, someone on my friends list has just pointed me towards a 1970s porn musical. Not, a musical about porn. But a porn, that's a musical. This has broken my brain and raised more questions that I could possibly even consider sharing with you all, although odds are you can guess a few of them. Er, yeah.

    Huh. I'll be damned.

    I don't mind so much if that's how you catch 'em for dinner.

    Speaking from personal experience, it feels awfully strange to stand on a flounder.

    I can only imagine! I used to fish for perch and walleye as a child, but we did that in the usual fashion - rod and reel and worms!

    So once you step on 'em, how do you nab 'em? With a net, or do you just go in barehanded?

    Barehanded. Step on them so they can't get away, grab them and get them.

    Used to be a really easy way to get dinner, back when there were lots of flounders.
