I got nothin’
I think this is the first time ever but I have absolutely nothing to say.
um. yeah.
Maybe I will just tell you some random thoughts:
1. Boston is actually winning the baseball game. No way! I am so surprised. (Now all you New England folks, don’t get crabby on me! hehe) My brother is a huge Yankees fan and has been since he was a little kid. Me, I grew up in New Jersey and everyone likes the Yankees. I just cannot believe that they are the devil’s spawn. I just don’t really care.
Last year, I got really into it when the Yankees and Red Sox were playing, I even purchased a hat. Of course, that was mostly to piss my brother off. This year, I am just not really emotionally invested in the whole thing.
2. I think that Casey and I will watch Super Size Me every month for the rest of our lives. I really liked the movie before but since I saw it in May, I totally forgot how eveeeeeel the fast food/ prepared food industry is! That’s it! Nothing but organic crunchy whole grain food for me.
It is out on DVD and there is an awesome interview with the author of Fast Food Nation and other bonus stuff.
3. I hate, HATE voicemail. Whoever invented that freaking thing should die a slow death. I have been staring at the blinking voicemail light here at home for 2 days. I will not give in. Casey will take the darn voicemail off the machine. Oh yes, he will.
The worst part is that we know who it is. Casey set up this handy-dandy thing with our phone company that sends the voicemail to us in email form. Lovely, ain’t it? Well, it is until no one checks the voicemail on the actual phone. The blinking! Oh help me, THE BLINKING!
That is all I’ve got. Seriously. What if I have used up all my good bloggy material? Is my brain empty?!

our answering machine talks (as most do) but we always forgot to set the electronic clock, so when listening to the messages, it says “Sunday, 12 am” before EVERY MESSAGE. I hate that so much. But every time I change the clock, it just gets screwed up right away.
BOO ON VOICE MAIL.

My boyfriend and I, along with my parents, have been glued to the television every night watching the Sox/Yanks game. Our friend, Tommy, who plays minor league ball with the Yankees, was trash talking through cell phone text messages until the Sox came back to win it. Now he’s ignoring us. LOL!
And I vowed not to get emotionally invested this year, because I was literally sick with a migraine after last year’s loss–and cried, to boot. But thanks to my parents and boyfriend, I got sucked right back in again. *sigh*

Is this blogger burnout??
I’m sure you just weren’t switched on tonight. You can’t expect to wow us with your wit and intelligence EVERY day you know

I read Fast Food Nation a couple of years ago and haven’t touched fast food since. It’s McNasty.

Oh thanks for the recommendation on Super Size Me– I will rent it.

Super Size me is awesome. I am totally off fast food forever - except getting a diet soda before I go grocery shopping. I can’t help that!
Boo Yankees! This Jersey Girl is a South Jersey girl so it is physically impossible for me to root for a NY team!
I’m sure you’re blogginess will return soon! You’re just in a “down cycle.”

Do a question and answer session!!! That should get the juices flowing.

I suggest that you go outside, yell really loud, and see what happens. Then come back and blog about it.

I read Fast Food Nation a while ago and now I have to rent Supersize Me. If nothing else, it should be good for scaring off a few pounds.
October 20th, 2004 at 1:28 pm
I’m in a blogmaterial void too! I know your brain isn’t empty. It’s just the midweek blahs.
Must go and rent Supersize Me soon! Thanks for the recommendation.

I thought Supersize Me was great too. The only thing I get from McDonald’s is the milkshakes. They didn’t mention those in the movie. So they must be good for you. Tonight I shall have chocolate.
And as for the “nothing” to say…you are like Seinfeld or something. There are already 10 comments before mine. You’ve incited a comment riot from nothing!

being from chicago, ahem… being from the NORTH side of chicago, its automatic that i am a cubs fan. its like a rule or something. so of course we all know how that goes… year after year after year… after painful year. my heart tends to go with the red sox as soon as the cubs fail. i just understand where they are coming from. as i am sure a lot of folks here do, even though they are american league. and now that i am dating a Texan, i have to pretend to care about the astros. when really, i dont.
i run out of things to say on the blog lots. then i put stupid things on there and feel like people are gonna think i am a stupid girl. but sometimes it just happens apparently. bloggersblock. thats all. i think i am gonna go put a one liner on there now, even though i have nothing to say on the matter…

Voicemail is the bane of my existence. If I’m away from my office and I return to the blinking red light, it makes me want to cry. It’s like punishment for leaving my office. I’ve begun thinking of it as the red eye of shame. blink, blink, - you suck - blink, blink, blink… and it’s so passive aggressive, isn’t it? Blinking away, so sure of it’s importance in our lives.
“check me, check me, - you suck - check me, check me- don’t leave your office - blink, blink, blinkl”
And there is nothing worse than the LONG voicemail. I love my mother-in-law, but she has entire conversations with my voicemail - sometimes, I hit the #5 button so it will tell me how long the message is (3 minutes 12 seconds) just so I can see if she’s beaten her personal best.
Sigh.
