This is a whining thread.

I forgot my iPod today. My iPod gets me through the day. This isn't the first time, so I set up a daily Google Calendar reminder to pop into my inbox in the morning. Does that help? No, I get it everyday, so I've started to delete it without even mentally processing what it means.

On my way in, I figured, well, that's okay - I have headphones at my desk and some music on the work PC. But I just sat down and realized my iPod headphones broke so I've been using my work headphones and they are at home too, wrapped around the iPod.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Also, I have a headache.

Fuck.

Wow, someone should just kill you now and put you out of your misery. But wait! You can access MeCha now, so we, collectively, will figure out some way to save you.

Make with the animated gifs, folks!

Ok, I'm tapped out. Good luck, buddy.

Heh.

That blows Mike. That's all I got.

Something is being circular-sawed here in the office and drowning out even "Man On The Silver Mountain" at peak volume on the iPod. Also, for the first time in half a decade, I blow-dried my hair this morning. I think it came out kinda funny.

Just think about Elisha Cuthbert.

posted by sciurus 06 July | 08:11

I would if I knew who that was.

posted by jonmc 06 July | 08:17

*image-Googles*

Ah. She seems quite personable.

posted by jonmc 06 July | 08:17

Elisha is swell. Pun intended.

Hey, mike9322, I forgot to mention in your traumatic thread yesterday that you're the man for going there and helping her and, well, being the man. So here goes: you're the man.

for the first time in half a decade, I blow-dried my hair this morning...

Yes... I was worried about him electrocuting himself, standing barefoot in a puddle of shower water... I saw it in a movie once, only it was milk...

No music, mike? Che macello! Maybe a quick run to a nearby Radio Shack/Radio Shack equivalent for a cheap-o replacement pair?

You are the man, Hugh.

posted by mike9322 06 July | 08:38

NO! YOU'RE THE MAN!

posted by Hugh Janus 06 July | 08:41

If this helps- theres whistling and humming going on one thread over.

Also, I just got off the phone with my mother. I called to wish my baby sister, born 15 years after me, a happy 20th birthday. I'm gonna go look in the yellow pages under 'old age homes.'

Not to make this thread all about jonmc, since I know it was mike's thread originally, but I couldn't resist:

I'm sorry Eideteker. I'll put me trousers on. Don't want to give you an inferiority complex or anything.:)

posted by jonmc 06 July | 08:54

I really like that dude in the middle.

posted by Hugh Janus 06 July | 08:55

Yes, but is jon THE MAN?

posted by mike9322 06 July | 08:55

I thought you were the dude in the middle.

posted by jonmc 06 July | 08:55

Yeah, I really identify with him. Though I get the feeling he can't see three feet in front of his face.

posted by Hugh Janus 06 July | 08:56

And mike9322, yes. Jonmc is the man.

Who's the cock of the walk?

You're the man now, dawg.

posted by sciurus 06 July | 09:04

I am disturbed by how many "the man"s there seem to be. Shouldn't there be only one "the man"? Or maybe it's like a frame rate thing where each of us is "the man" for picoseconds at a time, but it switches so quickly that each of us individually appears to be "the man" at all times?

Being "the man" is a lot of work.

posted by mike9322 06 July | 09:12

or maybe we're the man for only yocto seconds at a time. which means we're the man much more often than we think.

posted by sciurus 06 July | 09:25

Meanwhile all the women sit back and laugh at this puerile need to be "the man".

posted by matildaben 06 July | 09:38

(oh, you women love all this strutting male bullshit. you know you do)

posted by jonmc 06 July | 09:43

sit back and laugh at this puerile need to be "the man".

Well, it is a typical primate behavior pattern.

posted by sciurus 06 July | 09:46

I'm completely missing the "need" part. In fact, we all seem to insist that others, not ourselves, are the man. Feh.

posted by mike9322 06 July | 09:48

You're the man, matildaben. ;)

posted by sciurus 06 July | 09:49

No animated gifs to cheer mike? I'll rectify...
