Best of the week

[katiefoolery]

OK, so technically I promised that this would be photos of the new house.

It isn’t.

I do have photos of the new house.  The difficulty in bringing them to you all lies in the fact that a) I am lazy, and, b) uploading the photos involves overcoming said laziness.  But I shall.

In the meantime, please accept this list of best ofs served up by my week.

Best moron of the week
This one seems like a contradiction in terms, but oh well.  The award goes to the guy who walked up to my bus-stop this afternoon and proceeded to sit down and smoke, despite the fact that it’s illegal to do so in a bus shelter and that, thanks, but I don’t want to die of lung cancer.

So cue me walking away to stand up and wait for my bus after a long day of work in which precious few breaks were to be found.  The main reason for their scarcity probably lies in the fact that they were cunningly disguised as more work.

And then, this lovely gentleman GETS UP AND CONTINUES ON HIS WALK.

*swears at length*

Strangely enough, bus shelters aren’t actually your personal under-cover smoking seats - they’re BUS SHELTERS.  People might want to, I don’t know, shelter under them in air that isn’t carcinogenic.

Thank-you so much.

I need to swear some more...

*does so*

Best achievement of the week
Actually waking up when my alarm went off.  Once.  I had it set for 6:45am (although it’s actually 6:30am, since I follow in the age-old tradition of putting one’s alarm clock ahead in order to encourage timely efficiency... when all it really does is assure me I can safely sleep in for fifteen minutes longer).  So, as I was saying before that ridiculously long parenthesis interrupted me, I had it set for 6:45am, which only resulted in my sleeping in ’til seven.  Aha! I thought to myself.  If I set it for six thirty, then I’ll only sleep in ’til quarter to seven!

Which was a fantastic theory.

In reality, I woke up at six thirty and just slept in for half an hour instead.

But not this morning!  This morning I was up and stumbling about in the miserable darkness mere minutes after the alarm had gone off.  So huzzah for me and my timely rising.

Best catastrophe
This is an odd one and I apologise in advance for it, but the world’s going to end and it’s all my fault.  I’ll probably expand on this at a later date.

And finally...
Best quote of the week
This one goes to Bindi, although it’s mostly for randomness.  The quote in question?  “I try not to look at my sister-in-law’s ass.”

Yeah.

I don’t know whether to be relieved or offended.

The other day I woke up naturally at 6.10am (when my alarm is for 6.45am). And I stayed awake, and read in bed. And it was strangely nice!

I am frightened by this development.

You've been experimenting with making zombies, haven't you? DON'T YOU KNOW WHERE THAT LEADS?

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

That's quite an alarming development. It's not too bad, though, considering you did something fun. The day you get up early and do some work is when you shold really begin to worry.

And I have no idea what you're talking about. What zombies? My brains are just fine, thanks.

Yours look tasty, though.

Or so I'm told...

I think people that smoke near me are evil. I seem to attract them like crazy, especially at bus stops. And then they move around and blow smoke all over the place. Once, there was this lady who 'accidentally' tipped her bottled water over this guy's lap when he blew smoke in her face. It was awesome :)

“I try not to look at my sister-in-law’s ass.”

Generally, that's good advice ya know.

Now there's another good reason to carry a water bottle around at all times. Brilliant.

I think it's good advice, too - especially when I'm the sister-in-law in question.

Oh Bindi...

*grins*

Also, sign into MSN wench!

She comes out with the best stuff. :D

What's wrong with your donkey?

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

I suspect she's trying not to covet it.

(Forgive me - I've been spending too much internet time around Americans and Canadians...)

Oh if only a bus hit the guy. :D

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

Now that would have been a wonderful piece of irony! I mean, I understand it if someone's actually waiting for a bus (although it's still damned annoying, especially if it's raining) but to sit down in a bus stop just to break your walk with a cigarette... GAH!
