Today equals FAIL

Morning: Realize an hour into my day that I've been wearing my cardigan inside-out. FAIL.

Afternoon: Realize a work project I thought was nearly complete and only required a few simple steps to finish is neither nearly complete nor simple nor anywhere in the ballpark of either of those things. FAIL.

Evening: Get a fucking $150 speeding ticket driving home from work in the suburban wasteland where the speed limit is too low and the cops aren't busy enough. FAIL.

I think I'll crack open a bottle of one of my favorite wines, Rosa Regale.

Which, incidentally, is nowhere to be found in the suburban wasteland. I picked it up on a recent trip to Baltimore.

Geekery at its finest

I swear, I do more than obsess about LOST. But you'd never know it by this blog.

Notes to self: Dust your damn bookshelves. The dustbunnies are going to eat Jack, Hurley and Sawyer.

Getting fit LOST Rewatch style

I'm taking a break from my daily Jillian Michaels-style ass kickings to hit the elliptical LOST Rewatch style. It's a simple equation really- 1 workout = 1 LOST episode. I should be able to keep up with the schedule this way and get flatter abs in the process.

Unfortunately for me, D took swapped the small HD television we got for the workout room for the piece of crap box with a tube we had in the bedroom. So now, I have to rewatch LOST on this:



Either that, or I have to drag the elliptical into to the living room to watch it on the big screen HD. And I'm just not feeling that ambitious.

Hey, LOST geeks!

Did you know there's an unofficial LOST rewatch? Yep, it's run through DocArzt and Lostpedia and you can get the official schedule here. The long hiatus between season 5 and the final season is the perfect time to rewatch and discover new LOST "a-ha!" moments (or to fill in certain other members of the household so they stop asking 5 seasons worth of questions during a single episode, whichever).

So, be a geek, watch the episodes according to the schedule, follow the DocArzt blog and stop in at the Lostpedia forums.

Just an FYI- you need the DVDs to do this. It's not running on television.

Lunchbreak blogging

Dear coworker who was stumbling across the parking lot with your hands covering your eyes:

I know we just got screwed with the paycut and everything, but you can get sunglasses for super cheap at Target. Or The Dollar Store. And if you forgot your sunglasses in your car, you'd probably get there a whole lot faster if you just squinted and didn't completely block your vision.

Cheers and sunshine,
Displaced Urbanite

Things I loathe

In random order:

1) People who, within a few minutes of meeting me, announce to me how great they are. If you really are that great, you'll shut your yapper and realize that I'm smart enough to figure it out. Otherwise, you just knocked yourself down about 1000 points in the greatness scale.

2) Parking lots. The bane of suburban existence. Idiots congregate here and plot their plans to destroy the world- one bad park job at a time.

3) Humidity. Mostly because it reminds me that I do not live in California. Yet.
