I went to bed last night at like 9:30.  This is because I am an old decrepit man who can get his ass whooped by a minor snow storm.  I’m going to go look for that blizzard hardened creature I used to know who could stay up 48 hours straight.  While I’m doing that you get some bullets…

• The Dunkin’ Donuts by my garage has the Triple Chocolate Muffins back!  At 620 calories, I can eat 3 and STILL be under my daily caloric intake.  Yay me!

• My “Office” needs a new battery.  It’s been dead the past two Mondays and seemed to be choking itself to death this morning before it started.  Of course, our Fleet Services doesn’t have them in stock.  We only have a dozen or so of these types of trucks… so why would they need to stock anything for them?  Right.  Morons.

• My iPod is dead.  Like, dead dead dead.  The bright side is luckily I have been bestowed a temporary replacement in the form of Poppy‘s old one.  The down side is that I can’t watch my video podcasts… of which I have many.  I probably won’t be able to replace it until March… so until then I’ll just have to suffer through.  Whoa is me!

• Tonight will be another episode of Clearly, You’re Retarded.  The topic is an interesting one: Do you honestly think that every person on Earth has something to teach you? What’s better - street smarts, book smarts, or a combination of both? Hopefully I’ll be able to listen to this live instead of screaming at Poppy‘s iPod tomorrow morning.

• I was reading the line items of the Economic Stimulus Plan that Obama wants.  One item in particular caught my eye: $160 million for ”paid volunteers” at the Corporation for National and Community Service.  Using the word paid with the word volunteers is an oxymoron and the notion they would have such a thing is highly insulting to those of us who actually do volunteer work.  It also proves my original theory that this President’s ”call to service” was a passing fad that in the end will result in the same people making the same sacrifices while others reap the benefits.

Now I’m taking my old ass for some muffins…
