This is what I get for trying to leave the house: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 3:00AM 
It's that Tuesday time again. You know what that means - you get to piss out a stream of consciousness and call it a post. Random up!
I’ve escaped the house with my laptop in order to randomize better. The library, which has free Wi-Fi, is closed, so I’m stuck with Starbucks, which has
bend you over a barrelpaid Wi-Fi. And really crappy coffee.Stupid library.
Some guy just plopped himself down right next to me, opened his laptop and started ranting into his cel phone in a French accent about how badly Canada treats its environment, logging, shooting of wolves to cull the population, etc. etc. A couple of times he mentioned “You knew my background, and hired me to make this report, and it’s not going to be favourable because…(insert environmental atrocity here)”.
I’m sure his statistics were more or less accurate (though all things are relative), but who the fuck makes that kind of business call in the middle of Starbucks? What, was he sleeping in his VAN, he couldn’t make the call from his hotel?
Oh, and make sure you dump that non-biodegradable plastic iced latte container and bottled water on the landfill on your way out, huh, Mr. Environment Lover?
I really have to relocate. Stupid library, not being open.
I wonder how the French Environment Guy feels about the circus tent that is in the mall parking lot a few hundred yards away. Complete with loud PETA-organized protest.
The Shriners vs. PETA. The only battle where crazy people are guaranteed to win.
Did you enter the earrings giveaway yet?
Earlier today: hubby & child go into the living room to play. Moments later I hear a slightly concerned hubby: "Um, why is he calling me 'First Daddy' and hugging me?"
...not sure, hon.
Really. *shifty eyes*
Necklaces that make it look like your head is stitched back on. Perfect for when your inlaws show up 45 minutes early just to fuck with you and your head pops off.
Or when they show up on time and you just feel like fucking with them.
Memorial Day seems like a much better reason to have a long weekend in May than a dead queen.
Do you guys use Google Latitude? It's more than a little Big Brother, but an entertaining way to stalk your own husband. It tells others your location based on IP address (if you're on a computer) or triangulates it based on cel phone towers or something if you're on your phone. The last version isn't terribly accurate and keeps putting hubby in the middle of the lake or on the side of the freeway.
I guess it's always possible he went for a swim or is dead in a ditch, but I prefer to think not.
Are you sleeping with the fishes or lying in a cornfield with your feet chewed off? No? Then you have no excuse. Randomize, you guys.

Happy Tuesday! WTF Starbucks French guy! Your randomness always makes me laugh!!
"First Daddy"! Hysterical!
Maybe that guy's sleeping in a van down by the river... ;)
I'll have to check out Google Latitude - then get hubby to actually use his cell phone so I can see if he ends up sleeping with the fishes or dead in a ditch. ;)
Great random post UnMom! Glad you put up with Starbucks to entertain us!!!
What is up with the Starbucks guy? Did he think he'd get some backup for the phone call or something. That's crazy!
Yeah, I don't really get the dead queen thing either.
Happy RTT!
I hate Starblechs. Why were your libraries closed? Do they celebrate dead queens day and memorial day? How is that fair?
I tried to sign up for the earings but bloggers was being an asshat.
That makes you First Mom I guess.
hehehe annoying the inlaws eh? hmmmmmm I like this...
Love the first Daddy, hehe.
I used to do starbucks but figure I can get crappy coffee a lot cheaper at home and don't have to mess with people like THAT.
Happy RTT.
Tip of the day - not that it would help if the library is closed by the way, but I've found that you can usually log in to library computers without even having a proper account if you use the password "library".
Freaky. I was at Starbucks last night. On a date. (Don't get excited it was only with my hubs.) So we finally get a sitter (his mother who was visiting) and what do we do? Huh huh?
We go to Starbucks and both bring laptops. And both work. And pretty much ignore each other.
Awesome date. Though he did buy me cake first...
first daddy is funny. my friend's son used to say his other mommey lives at the pool. hmmm...
you really spend a lot of time on etsy huh
I wonder what Mr. Environment thinks about the oil spill. We do damage right down here in the states (shaking head in shame).
Stupid library! I've been there, and relying on public wifi availability is no fun.
Sounds like Saturday when I had a two hour warning of incoming in-laws and actually managed to clean three full rooms top to bottom, sweep and mop the entire main area, sanitize the kitchen top to bottom all while keeping sick child and husband contained in one room so they did not get in my way. Of course the in-laws came while I was showering, but I refused to rush on that one. :-)

Ugh. I had a rough experience with people talking near me at a coffee/sandwich place on Friday while I was trying to talk. I dealt with nerds reconnecting after a year of college -- imagine an hour and a half of them talking algebraic coefficients and bio labs. In nerd talk. I think French accent guy would have been worse though. blech.
First Daddy, I love that. Funny kid, that X.
I'm off to enter a giveaway...
Didn't you get the memo that your cell phone give you magical bubble powers so no one can hear what you say? No? Hm. Perhaps I better rethink my strategy.
Our local Starbuck's actually took out the seating section because too many people were complaining about other patrons. Maybe it's something in the coffee?
Did X just give you permission for two daddies? Hmmmm. Could be an opportunity.
Just who is second daddy--someone good we hope. Great random!
French dude thinks Canada doesn't care about the environment? Imagine what he'd say about the whole Gulf oil spill debacle?
I want one of those stitches necklaces - excellent for frightening little children.
Love your random thoughts. So funny!
1st daddy huh? That is funny!
