Just Because

Ever buy something just because it makes you smile?



A package of 6 “recreational balls” (heh) for table tennis by SPORTCRAFT.

AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE A PING-PONG TABLE!

: )

Today, at work, I had to proofread my new business cards. I’ll probably get a box of 500, which will replace the box of old business cards, of which I handed out approximately 13 because about a week after I got them, we switched Internet providers, so my e-mail address was no longer valid.

I proofread the new cards, nitpicking, of course, because for some mysterious reason, the telephone numbers were listed as xxx.xxx-xxxx instead of (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I mean, WTF, if you’re going to adhere to AP style, then adhere to it correctly, right? What is that dot, anyway, mixed with the hyphen like that? And then, on the street address: The cards had the word “Street” abbreviated, but not the word “East.” Once again: Style! Get it right!

I have decided I would rather hand out smiley-face ping-pong balls with my phone number and e-mail addy DIscreetly scribbled on the back in fine-tip Sharpie than distribute business cards, anyway.

Now playing: “War on War” by Wilco. On REPEAT, on the stereo.

You have learn how to die
If you wanna wanna be alive ...


Yeah, baby.
