Various Thoughts

1. On the way home this evening, the odometer switched over to 123,456. This was one of the most exciting things that happened today.

2. I almost hit a deer yesterday. He was getting on my nerves and I just wanted to punch him. No! Wait! What I meant is that I was driving home and I almost didn't see these two deer that were crossing the road. In fact, if it hadn't been for an oncoming car that DID see them (and flashed their brights to alert me), I might have cluelessly plowed right into them, singing R.E.M. songs with deer hooves and windshield pieces lodged in my spleen. Thank goodness for oncoming traffic.

3. Speaking of singing R.E.M. songs, I would like to announce that I have finally managed to memorize all the lyrics to "Its The End Of The World As We Know It". (Die-hard R.E.M. fans know why there shouldn't be an apostrophe in that title. It kills me to break traditional punctuation rules, but R.E.M. said...)

4. I bet if you tried making giraffe jerky, you would have to roll it up into a really long coil.

If you hadn't been paying so much darn attention to the odometer you might have seen the deers, dear, for whom it would have been the end of the world as they knew it...

nonamedufus: No! No, that was a different night. The odometer was Wednesday; the near-deer-collision was Tuesday. I don't have to pay attention on Tuesdays. It's written in the constitution somewhere.

nonamedufus: Or maybe it's Wednesdays that I don't have to pay attention... Heck, I dunno. I wasn't really paying attention when I read the constitution.

nonamedufus: P.S. Thank you for the R.E.M. reference. :)
