Someone needs to stand up. One of us needs to stand up and say to the weather, “That’s enough, weather. We see that you are big and tough. We recognize that you can kick the collective asses of humanity. Please stop now.”<\/p>\n
I mean, on the 14 minute walk from Union Station to work, I lost contact with my thighs. We had radio silence from the area extending from the lower lip of my jacket to right about the top of my leather boots, but with a particularly ominous silence from the quadriceps.<\/p>\n
Freakin’ stupid cold. Making me not like winter. Dammit.<\/p>\n
This weather is *not* going to help me pull off the super-duper-late-night studying extravaganza that I need to perform tonight in order to complete my Waugh seminar for Tuesday. No sir, it sure ain’t. <\/p>\n
Alas, Sunday’s attempted installation of JVL’s mom’s new comptuer and wireless router was not a great success. One might call it a crushing disappointment. I managed to hook up the computer and install most of the necessary software just fine, and the router is working, HOWEVER I had difficulty transferring the data files for the essential accounting software and worse, the household laptop, which previously was picking up every wireless signal known to God and man, decided it just didn’t want to hear it anymore and has decided to implement a complete wireless signal boycott. Wireless signals are dead to it now. I think it’s just being petulant because it used to be the new kid on the block, and now that baby’s come home, it’s just the middle child. Sure, the older computer blazed the way, making it easier for the laptop to stay out late, but it’s no longer the hub of attention, and it’s angry and hurt. Either that, or JVL and I just pooched the installation of the driver software real bad. Hard to tell, really. Speaking of, JVL’s mouth started bleeding last night, for the first time since his gum surgery five days ago. It was pretty bad – we tried applying a wet black tea bag, as the dentist suggested, but the tannins didn’t really do their job, so the blood kept a-flowin’. Icky. It was made worse by the fact that we were watching the home video of JVL’s high school performance as ‘Brad Majors’ in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and we were both laughing and wanting to discuss what was happening on stage, but were unable to due to the gushing torrents of red gore emitting from JVL’s soft palate.<\/p>\n I have to say, he was really, really good in the performance, though. His singing was strong, his voice projection and inflection was excellent, and he looked *dead sexy* in a mesh shirt and a boa. Rraawwwrrr. I can only agree with his own self-assessment: “Justin *is* Brad Majors”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Someone needs to stand up.
