This Does Not Bode Well For My Future



Yep. I'm definitely getting stupider.

Example #1: A few weekends ago I somehow got shampoo up my nose while showering. The following day I got toothpaste up the other nostril.

Example #2: I recently gave myself a heart attack when I stepped on a piece of bubble wrap.

Example #3: While getting gas the other day I committed the following infractions:
* Parked too far back so moved car forward
* Moving car forward resulted in my parking rightnext to the pole so I couldn't open my door
* Moved car back and got out
* Realized that gas tank is on the other side of my car (this is not a new or borrowed car, mind you)
* Moved to other gas pump
* Got out and realized I had parked too far forward
* Had to hold gas pump tight so it would fit because I WAS NOT moving my car again!
* Pushed "no" when asked if I wanted a receipt, forgetting that I have been trying to keep track of what all I spend my money on
* Finish pumping gas and go to building to ask for a receipt
* Walk around the entire building and don't see an entrance
* Realize it's one of those where you pass your money and stuff through the drawer.
* Feel too stupid to actually speak to the lady now that she's seen me do a partial Chinese Fire Drill around her place of employment so get in my car and drive home.
* Get home and put on pajamas, only then to realize I had gone out in a black bra and white shirt.
* It is not 1989. That look is not cool.

Example #4: For the second time in as many months I have taken the Comcast remote with me to work. This time though, I also took the actual tv remote with me. And a book. Even though I had a lunch meeting and would have no time to read or watch television. On my tv. At home.

(P.S. Comcast should really look into increasing the radius of it's remotes. It would be hilarious to be able to turn the tv off and on and switch channels from work while your roommate sits on the couch at home.)

Hahaha! I just hope that you won’t bring in the cable box with you one day! I think the remote got closer to our signal tower when you brought it to your workplace. This is the reason why I found your blog! :)

Anyway, I am here to help if you need help with your Comcast service.

That is hilarious that Comcast commented on your blog post. You are having more "senior moments" as time goes on. I will have to watch out for you. :)

Pass the Metamuscil

Okay, so I admit, I've been slacking on blogging. But in my defense, Jamieland has been quite boring, what with the snow, no hippie roommate or excess money floating around to buy entertainment. Oooh, that totally sounded like I buy hookers, which I do not. Buy PC entertainment. That won't give me an STD. Or a baby. Anyways...so since the last blog I have had a birthday. I am now 27. Which doesn't sound too bad to most people, but if you ask a 27 year old how that sounds, it sounds less like "twenty-seven" and more like "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!". A few weeks before my birthday I made the mistake of watching a 1970s science fiction film called "Logan's Run". It was actually entertaining. A bit campy but the majority of films in the 70s had cheese oozing out of every pore, in my opinion. The plot of the movie was simple, and mimicked the book closesly. It takes place in a future time when Earth is so overpopulated that new regulations

Scary Stuff

I quite possibly just had a heart attack. After several weeks of slowly going through each box/bin/drawer/closet/cabinet in my house to declutterize, I am finally finished. I have a pile of boxes with items to take down to my parents house for their garage sale in the living room, along with some boxes I had emptied so broke them down and put them in the storage closet on my deck. A few even had bubble wrap in them, hooray! Like all Americans, I adore bubble wrap so it has really taken every ounce of will in my body to not sit there and pop it all. Today, I was putting the last of the "keep" bins back in the storage closet. I had to readjust my weight to push the tub up onto the shelf when suddenly there was a loud *Bang*, obviously the sound of a car backfiring. Even though I live in a pretty affluent area, that sound is very similar to a gunshot, so the natural instinct is to dive for cover. That, however, is not really an option when you are essentially holding a 20

I am freakin hilarious.

This is an open post to Carrie, to let her know that in case our books don't arrive I've got her (our) back(s). I found this email I wrote to this company in November, 2007 regarding a calendar I had ordered that hadn't arrived. I have to say it cracked me up. So, without futher adeiu (I just realized I don't know how to spell that), I give you "Angry Consumer Jamie": Are you guys kidding me? On Friday it will have been 3 months since I placed my order. I have only received one email from your shit company since then, and only after I emailed you twice regarding the status of my order. I have emailed you since then and have not heard a peep from your company. That leads me to several conclusions: #1: you are a scam and stole my money without any promise of merchandise intended #2: your employees were in some freak accident which lowered their IQ to that of a slightly retarded water buffalo and you feel bad (perhaps you were behind the wheel of the bus tha
