nothing interesting, sorry

This is my horoscope for today:

These days you are attracted to far away lands and distant galaxies, even if there isn't an apparent way to reach your imagined destinations. Fortunately, you don't need to go anywhere at all in order to be happy. This can be about a mental journey, so consider starting an epic novel that carries you beyond your current reality. Or enroll in a class that expands your consciousness. This is a growth phase, so choose your path wisely.

It certainly makes my life prospects seem more exciting than normal, doesn’t it? And do they mean start reading or start writing an epic novel? Because I can do both.

*****************************

On another note, during my recent Flight That Lasted 1000 Years, I had ample time to peruse the Skymall catalogue. Useless, every bit of it. However, there was a thing to install in your furniture that, via remote, would raise & lower – thus effectively hiding -your tv. That’s fine. The thing that bugged me was the description:

Ladies, are you tired of your husband’s big-screen television interfering with your room décor?

Because only men have big screen tvs. And only women decorate. And there was no discussion between the married couple upon purchasing the tv regarding the décor. And a tv isn’t a normal part of a room in the USA in 2007, so you would never want your neighbors to see that you had one. And you have the money to spend thousands of dollars on this thing, but you couldn’t think of a better way to appropriate your décor.

*****************************

Picture this:

2 employees are conversing in English.When the boss approaches, they switch to Spanish and stare at the boss.Boss admits he didn’t understand a word, and gets this reply:“You weren’t supposed to – that’s why I talked Spanish.”

Wouldn’t this strike you as suspicious behavior that should result in a round of firings? I guess that’s why I’m not allowed in a position of power.

*****************************

Yesterday riding the narrow escalator up from the subway, the guy behind me honked an air horn. Even though he was pretty far behind me, the echoey nature of the place made it really loud. I turned around and glared at him, but he pretended he didn’t do anything. Why would someone do this?

These are excellent random stories. You should have nothing to say more often.
