This is just silly!
While I wish today was spent in my room letting my creative juice flow all over the place, I had the displeasure of spending eight of my twenty four hour time limit of my life at work. Which, really, wasn't all that terrible. Unlike the mainstream population, I make fun out of anything and everything at work instead of complaining about hating it every fifteen minutes.
For example, I had to put away all of this stuff we took down from a bunch of displays with my assistant, Tom. Putting away stuff is never fun, that goes without saying. In the jumble of random things that ranged from everything from fake veggies to hand made bridal bouquets, I spotted something that was just screaming to be tormented by my imagination. It was none other than a fake basted turkey. (You don't have to read that again. It's true.) I picked it up and threw it up in the air as high as I could and yelled, "FLY!!!!" really, really loud. Tom instantly doubled over laughing, dropping a vase full of pebbles, as I caught the turkey on it's way down. I ran down our shop hall and Tom, knowing my crazy antics and out bursts of random fun activities, knew exactly what to do. He got into his football stance at the other end of the hall, and we started a game of Turkey Football, the end zone being the plus size mannequin (who we named the quarterback) at the end of the hall. My job isn't really all that terrible after all.
I realized that I did a lot of yelling today. Unintentional yelling. Like the kind of yelling that you do when you've just left a show and can't really hear, but you don't know you can't hear, so you talk really loud so that you can hear yourself, as you think you're "adjusting" to the volume of "the norm" again, annoying everyone else in your surrounding vicinity. I think my hearing is getting worse. Yea. I blame that.
If you guys haven't checked out the new Motion City Soundtrack record, My Dinosaur Life, that just came out today, it's a must listen/must own, for sure. I specifically recommend 'Stand Too Close' and 'Pulp Fiction' for your listening pleasure. You can check out Motion City's entire album for free here! I promise there is no disappointment here. Would I ever steer you wrong musically? BTW, it's already been named Album Of The Year ... and what month is it? Oh, right, January. See? THAT good.
Today I feel smaragdine, an emerald-y green. Especially considering my palm has been itching me like CRAZY today, I feel lucky, not to mention content and gushing with contagious happiness!
Current Listen: Stand Too Close - Motion City Soundtrack (I'm telling you, you gotta listen to it!) You can thank me later. :)
