stylin..
as you can see, im tryin out a few things. nothing heavy, just some things ive been wantin to add on my site..
the random quote thing (hit refresh/F5) under the page title is a way for me to cycle through my favorite quotes--aka, preach my aphorisms to the world..
and the "select a mood" bit in the upper right is me wantin to allow people to change things up. may make it add a cookie so itll remember your selection. but i dunno if i like the idea of writin a cookie..
and yes, i know "original" is not an actual mood..

tired..
so it was a whirlwind of a weekend..
much like how we bought our current house here in balt, we spent sat and sun in cleveland lookin at homes--and buyin one by late sunday afternoon..
then yester evening, we selected an offer on our current house..
and so begins the trek to lebron-land..
dont congratulate me--no need for any of that crap. im just postin it to say how fortunate it is to kill two big stones in such a short amount of time..
..and to say how tired i am of focusin on nothin else but house selling and buying the last few weeks..
yes, now i can move on to greener pastures--unless i keep losin $$ at partypoker..

just say no..
so you walk into the elevator you just waited five mins. turn around, press your floor, doors are closin when you suddenly hear..
"CAN YOU HOLD THE ELEVATOR??!!"
uuuggghh!! i HATE it when that happens..
and not so much cuz i dont mind holdin the elevator for someone (cuz id want someone to hold the elevator for me when im runnin towards it). but really cuz theres no way to answer "NO!" to that question..
right?
like when someone asks you over dinner, "can i borrow a napkin?"--wut da hell? if i say "no, go get your own damn napkin!!" wont i come across as the boorish jerk that i am?
i mean, theres really no way to refuse when asked these favor-type questions. "can i use your pen?", "could i have a drink of water?", "can i get a ride to alaska?"..
again, i dont care about what they actually--i just cant stand how i cant say no..
maybe next time im in the elevator and someone screams the gawd-awful question, ill look away, start whistlin and just press CLOSE..
i hate those questions which you cant really say "no" to.

another sign that my Y should be an X..
the general notion out there is, the woman scolds her man for leavin the toilet seat up. right?
in our household, its the other way around..
i scold esther for leavin the toilet LID up..
why? cuz i dont wanna be playin w/ dogs that lap up toilet water, EVEN if its been flushed..
so yes, after every "session"--whether its a #1, #2, or #3--i close the toilet opening altogether. it is a hassle, but its better than havin a four-legged toilet walkin around the house..
..plus, i heard its better to flush the toilet w/ the lid down as the water aerosolizes as it is flushed..
haha, makes you think twice about brushin your teat in the bathroom huh?
