OH HAPPY DAY XV
1) I narrowly missed being t-boned
2) A guy wants me to do his Mardi Gras party.
3) This is my last OH HAPPY DAY post
I'm sure you guys are happy about that. It was actually pretty strenuous. Still, it's nice realizing my life doesn't TOTALLY suck. Actually, there were more than three positive things to report, which is a positive thing in itself.

DINNER AND A HAND JOB
A Craigslist guy writes about a Fairfax massage therapist: "Angela is curvy, which appeals to me...massage is long, thorough, sensual and fulfilling at the end...I love her massages...then I go to Wegman's for dinner. Four star night :) "
Dinner and a hand job, what more could you ask for? Cheap son of a bitch probably doesn't even take Angela out to dinner.

IN THE NEWS
MSN reports Sam Alito has been sworn into the US Supreme Court. Also, Coretta Scott King was found dead this morning. In other news, my car was broken into . I found a pair of black leather gloves on the front seat. Not much was taken, just some clothes I tried to return at Macy's. At least the car wasn't damaged and I can still drive it.

OH HAPPY DAY XIII
1) Macy's validated my ticket
2) I heard a good sermon at mass
3) The guy at China Cafe gave me a piece of candy for New Year's
This Happy Happy Joy Joy stuff is getting pretty stressful. I am going to stop it at the end of the month. Still, it has been useful in making me see my life doesn't suck totally -- just partially. Really, sometimes things just plain not sucking are a welcome relief, especially when you are used to things going wrong. Kind of like when you live in a war zone or work in an inner-city ER or police station in which people getting shot or sick or dying is the norm.

YEAR OF THE DAWG
The Chinese Year of the Dog starts today. Let's hope it's better than last year's "year of chicken." Last New Year I wrote that Hope said noodles bring riches. The guy at China Cafe says if you eat noodles you life will be long like a noodle. I guess he means lo mein noodles, not twisted like gemelli or short and curved like macaroni elbows.

OH HAPPY DAY XI
1) I may have an appointment for Sunday
2) I won another prize at Quiznos
3) I met a hot guy
This "happy happy joy joy" stuff is kind of hard with Aunt Betty being dead. Ironically, I just saw the Sopranos episode in which Livia dies. It was kind of like my dad's memorial service all over again. Actually, it made his service look like the Follies Bergere

TO EACH HER OWN
Dobby says about the pictures I posted yesterday: "Ugh, I find both of those guys to be the most unattractive males I have ever seen. Nothing personal against you, JD, but I had to scroll past their pictures really fast I find them so repugnant." So what does this say about my taste in men?

I HAD A DREAM
I have two horses, one brown one, one white one, very much like Pippin and Pandora. I send them away to have them shod, then realize getting them back is going to be harder. I realize I don't have a horse trailer so I call the farrier. His place is somewhere in Virginia, on the coast. Chincoteague, maybe? I can't remember the horse's names when I ask for them. He's a Dutchman. He tells me he won't be able to bring them back until August 20th. I am mad at myself for not looking for another farrier. I walk past a church which looks much like my old church. It's night time. Easter vigil is going on. The stained glass windows are gone and the church is all lit up, kind of like the five of pentacles card, but I still can't see inside. I am with my mom and another guy at a mall. He doesn't look much like Michael Imperioli or Tobey Maguire. Mom likes him. He and I get rather afffectionate, much as we have in real life.
Sure, I have lots of dreams, but this one has me thinking the way few others have recently.

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY II
I heard a woman from Prevention Magazine saying some people don't choose to be happy. She said write down three things every day that make you happy, even if it's something like "the grocery clerk smiled at me."So to start the new year I will try that, at least for a week.

HOLIDAY
"Every day is a holiday, people look through the glass, takin' photographs."
Deborah Harry
It's been a while since I had a holiday. It was nice to run errands, watch DVD's etc. The sister of one of Hermann's friends was pregnant and her doctor ordered strict bedrest. She was finally happy to be allowed to clean after awhile. I couldn't understand that. Now I'm happy to have time to get a haircut and have lunch sitting down while not working.

MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY
Today is Martin Luther King Day. It is an optional holiday at work. Although as you can see from my picture, I am not black, I have excercised that option. Jeff, who is a Methodist and older than me, says around the time of the King assassination they were learning about Martin Luther in Sunday school and he got him confused with MLK. Dad said when he was a kid he saw a pic of Luther titled "Martin Luther before the Diet of Worms." He thought the Catholics made him eat worms as punishment. As I went to Catholic school, we didn't learn about Luther until high school and then our teacher referred to him as "that heretic"

THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE HEARD ALL DAY
It's nasty and gray outside and I'm feeling a little coldish. Just heard a guy on Newschannel 8 accusing Mel Brooks of taking cheap shots at gay people. One of Kyle's guests said "you're talking about a guy who got laughs from flatulence around a camp fire. Do you expect a guy who farts for laughs to be sensitive?" That cheered me up more than anything else today.

YOU MADE A BAD CHOICE
One afternoon I heard some kids on the Metro saying UMBC stood for "you made a bad choice." Well, just as I thought I was getting my life back on track I made a bad choice. At least I'm getting my money back, but I won't get back the TIME I lost dealing with this loser. I should be charging him.

14TH NIGHT
Or is it 13th night? I can't keep track. Some people still have their lights up which is nice -- now that the Christmas season is officially over I can relax and enjoy it. It's nice to see the little lights in the dark -- somehow the cold makes the dark seem darker.
Went to the ABC Christmas party tonight. It was worth it to see Andy Parks in the conga line.

SYMPTOMS OF STROKE
We have a warning on the bulletin board in the control room listing the symptoms of stroke, saying if a person exhibits any of them to call 911 immediately. We are all relatively young and healthy. I guess they figure our jobs are so stressful it will bring on a stroke some day. Like having to manually insert four hours' worth of voice tracks at six AM.

MY RESOLUTION
To get more sleep.
It was gonna be to earn more money and spend less money, but then as I was driving from the party at the Russia House to work for an eight-hour shift I heard someone on WTOP suggest getting more sleep. I figure sleep is more important than money.
