Now, if AC/DC were underwater, they might sound better: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 4:29AM 
It's my favorite weekday! Well, okay, not really. My favorite weekday is FRIDAY, duh. But Tuesdays are a close second. So grab the button and get your random on!
AC/DC is playing here tonight. Well, not HERE, they'd have a hard time fitting into the basement, but at the stadium in town. I can hear it, even though it's 2 miles away. And guess what? They sound just as shitty as if I were RIGHT THERE! I think I just saved myself a hundred bucks, or something.
Once when I was a teenager my friend and I were partying with this Australian guy, and my friend was the designated driver. When we got in the car to drive home, the Aussie requested some music for the ride, the name of which he pronounced "Acca Dacca". What with the accent and the pronunciation, my friend had not a single friggin' clue what he was talking about, until I piped up from the back seat, "That's how they pronounce AC/DC in Australia."
Ah! Communication success, tape in the tape deck, everybody happy. My friend brought it up the next day, but I had no idea what she was talking about. I didn't remember saying that, and I had no fucking idea I even possessed that knowledge.
That's right. I was a drunken teenage psychic, y'all.
I think I'm getting a cold, and my ears are plugged. All day, everything has sounded like it was underwater. It was really irritating, until I started picturing everything actually BEING underwater. Then it was more entertaining.
When my keyboard floated away I decided I'd probably taken too many cold meds.
It occurs to me, as I sit here in my schlumpy pajamas and glasses with my extra rolls of tummy and my hair in a ponytail, drinking extra calories that I don't really need, that I'll never be considered "a hottie" again. But that's okay, because I'm smart and funny and talented, and I've already procreated, so my worth as a human being is intact, right?
RIGHT??
Actually, that thought has occurred to me before. But don't worry, someone came along before the garage could really fill up with carbon monoxide.
My boss is out of town this week. It's been really nice to just plow through my massive workload without constant interruptions. I do like my job, just sometimes the environment sucks. This week has me thinking that I should just open my own pretzel stand six months out of the year, or maybe a gelato shop.
Um. Okay, that one even surprised ME with it's randomness. Considering I'm a graphic designer.
Sso if you're just standing around, these are called Squinters?
And...that's all folks. Do join us, won't you?

I know what you mean about the job. I realize that I finish more tasks when the boss is not around than when she's there breathing down my neck haha
Acca Dacca huh? LOL
Happy Tuesday!
I've lost my hotness too - I change into my "fat pants" every day as quick as I can and lounge....
Oh well.... those were good times, eh?
ACDC - teehee... I live close to a concert stadium myself, AND a Nascar Racetrack... combined it's the perfect redneck joke. They often DO have races AND concerts on the SAME weekend here!!
Happy RTT!
The accompanying music to those Winkers is even worse than the pants.
So once we have procreated, anything goes? I feel so much better now.
My work environment sucks sometimes too. Can't wait til both of the girls start school ;)
Acca Dacca...that's funny!
The next time I get a cold and take copious amounts of cold medicine, I'm going to picture everything being underwater...you're right, it usually does sound that way, so why not explore the possibilities? ;)
Thanks for the validation on my worth as a human being intact as I sit here with my hair in a ponytail drinking extra calories I don't really need... ;)
I always got way more done when the boss was out of town. Something about someone not hovering that keeps me focused. Starting tomorrow one of the hoverers will be in school all day, so once Hovering Hubby is off to work, the sky's the limit! ;)
Those jeans are SCARY looking. And yes, I think 'Squinters' is more like it.
Happy RTT! :)
Oh I can't stand AC/DC either. Except for maybe Big Balls. That one just cracks me up. Am I showing my age here?
Sorry your not feeling well. Get better soon Ahe?

At least you were a hottie back in the day. Me? Not so much.
Acca Dacca -- LOL!
Bear has had a really bad case of swimmer's ear since we have gotten back from vacation. Shouting to him all of the time is starting to get annoying. I suggested that he go back under the water and hang out there for a while. He was not amused.
Don't worry Keely, you will always be one Hot UnMama to me. :)
Those pants are just creepy, I don't care what you call them.
I'm sure work does suck. Shame I don't actually do it.
Happy Tuesday
Gelato sounds delicious...Do that one!
I'm sick too. Damn colds.
A Gelato stand sounds great! I want to do that one! In fact, I just got done wolfing down my extra daily calories in the shape of one scoop of melon Gelato. Damn that little shop around the corner.
The Winkers... um, scary. Now I will have to work to get that image out of my mind.
I'm not so sure I was ever a hottie - can't miss what you never had. The only likeness my little icon girly, girl has to me is the brown hair & eyes. I'm sure you look just like your super hero icon so what are you worried about? That extra tummy, that's just a facade to hide your secret identity I'm sure.
My random thoughts have rolled out into my blog. Have a great day!
Life Makes Me Laugh
I think you should open the gelato shop. You'd only have to provide freezers for the summer months. In the winter, the atmosphere can just take care of things for you. :-)
You need to find yourself some stolen hot jeans. You will know what I am talking about if you read my post today. Seriously, they have brought back my hotness, like at least by 72%.
:)
I'll take a pair of those pants, kthanks.
Our whole house is sick so we're all walking around screaming at each other. Fun times.
My Goth listens to Rammstein, which always sounds better if I put MY head underwater. I've seriously considered dumping his computer over a cliff, too, which might improve the sound a tad.
Those winkers are probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Who comes up with this junk?
AC/DC is okay, but I prefer other music. I'll listen to them if they come on the radio, cuz they are better than commercials, and I don't have a CD player in my car, but that's about the only time I listen to them.
I did go see them in concert in High School, but really went to see the opening act, Love/Hate, and then we left. lol
Hope you feel better soon.
Have a wonderful Random Tuesday.

I like Thunderstruck, STRICTLY for the Thunderstruck drinking game. Everyone stands in a circle and when they say THUNDER , you drink until they say THUNDER again, inevitably someone gets fucked, because there is a part where they dont say THUNDER for QUITE sometime
Wow. What great pants. I think I'll have to get some. No, not really. Not ever. You couldn't pay me!
So, yeah, I'm pretty much with others here. I change the second I walk into the door into something that isn't trying to cut me in half. Ethan was born 10 months ago, so I guess I'm still holding out hope....
Hope you feel better.
But I WANT to be a hottie agian.... but I guess when you are pushing forty and a hundred pounds overweight there really isn't much chance of that. Not you. Me. That's me.
Oh Lordy ... those jeans! *shakes my newly gonna be a grandmom head*
I'd love to see AC/DC. It's actually one group that my son and I can agree upon :)
At first I was pretty badly about my self-worth, the whole pony-tail thing. But after watching that video I'm feeling way better about myself. Apparently those jeans come in plus sizes too! LOL!
Alright, those jeans are absurd. You are as sexy and hot as you believe you are; then add to that your wits and your cool personality which leaks even into your blogs, on writing, to others who've never met you!!
Happy RTT!
