Not you Griff--you poor innocent bystander, collateral damage, friendly fire victim. I'm all "w00T!!!11" for your new news.

And thanks for the cue about my smile installation error. It looked right from where I was standing...

y'know... I get that a lot. "why are you angry?" "Your face is so angry." sheesh.

I'm not angry. I'm ugly.

*leaves thread before he completely stinks up the joint*

I finally have a telephone connected to the house, after a month without service! I tell you, it's really hard to figure out whether AT&T or Time Warner are the bigger group of idiots here.

Also, it must be new job season because Mr. Clod got one too! He starts on Monday. Good luck on your performance, Griff, let us know how it goes!

I bought a new pair of glasses today for under $400. That's a bargain, considering I wear progressive bi-focals and transitions lenses.

Yeah, I know I posted that thing about ordering glasses online. I think if I had a simpler prescription, I would have tried it.

I thought the monkey was the man?

Monkeys generally make everyone happy except the one on the receiving end of the thrown feces.

An old friend messaged me and we are soon going to make some lunch plans!

Beer!

Today is the annual tenant appreciation day; the landlord provided bar-b-q (beef, ribs, chicken), chips, beans, cookies, pie, cake, softdrinks and beer. Right now I'm drinking a local beer, Fat Tire.

(This is work, not home.)

I found out who was chasing me for money - and it's a bill I can afford to pay.
I don't have to hide when the doorbell rings now.

Oh and Animal Crossing on the Nintendo DS. I'm not a game person usually, but am ridiculously into this right now. To the extent that I'm going home pretty soon because I forwarded the clock and the shop will be opening in my game world soon. I have red turnips to buy and a Bug Off to attend you know.

I have that game!

I have only *just* started it. Game minutes only, no hours.... it looks like a lot of fun!

PS friend code?

Another beer! and a cookie.

mmmm, beer and chocolate!

My snack when I'm having a really bad day!

Wife and kids coming home today!!! Woohoo!

Duh...forgot to mention...kiddos were at Camp and wife was a chaperone. Been gone since Monday morning.

Just now...like just right now...my new refrigerator was delivered.

Frozen ice cream for the summer! Yay!
