my brother david sent me an e-mail, which he does about once every three years or so (but that\u2019s ok because i do see him a lot because he lives right here in spfld; what about the REST OF YOU who i never hear from? but i\u2019ve come to accept that in my life and i\u2019ve moved on), about the missing scissors. <\/p>\n
Dear Grace-This is your Brother-I just wanted to tell you I know where the scissors are \ud83d\ude09 I have seen them! They were in large boxes like would fit a Clothes dryer, in a building on 11th street where the State Of Illinois has Auctions-there were about 4 large sized boxes full of these scissors from O\u2019hare airport in Chicago! WOW I have never seen that many Scissors in my life! Oh well just thought your audience might like to hear about this \ud83d\ude09 David S. 11-30-05.<\/p>\n
this is obviously just a small portion of the MILLIIONS of confiscated scissors, but at least we know where some of them are. i wonder who will buy the gigantic boxes of scissors? will they be distributing them to the needy, those in desperate need of scissors? people with things-that-need-to-be-cut crises?<\/p>\n
what about the confiscated chain saws? one would assume that there probably aren\u2019t quite so many of them floating around.<\/p>\n
our mayor, tim davlin, got his neck “nicked” by a chain saw, as a matter of fact. i didn\u2019t actually read the news story, but apparently he and a friend were…cutting things (trees, maybe?) and somehow…the friend accidently took a little nick out of the mayor?<\/p>\n
i\u2019d just like to know how this is possible. accidently getting so close to somebody that you cut off a little piece of their neck. i just want to know. i wonder if any beer was involved in this incident. that\u2019s all i\u2019m saying. just curious.<\/p>\n
by the way, the other day there was an article in the paper about all the birds that congregate on the power lines by the mall. this is something i wrote about a little bit ago, and i\u2019m assuming the writer READ MY BLOG and decided to go do a bunch of research and talk to experts and stuff about the birds. i read the article, at least most of it, but i can\u2019t really remember much of it. nothing relevant, anyway. i guess, what\u2019s the point of learning things because you just forget them? maybe not you, maybe it\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n
in “calvin and hobbes,” the past few days calvin was questioning the point of learning a bunch of stuff when we\u2019re all just going to die anyway. i guess if you carry this further, you\u2019re going to wonder what\u2019s the point of ANYTHING AT ALL, since we\u2019re just going to D.A. except for trying to make the most of things. must get to work on that bright and early tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
in the middle of the night i was awake for a couple of hours, and i finally got up briefly and looked out and there was SNOW ON THE GROUND. oh, god. not snow. i decided that not only was i going to go back to bed and NEVER GET UP AGAIN AT LEAST TILL SPRING, but that there is absolutely not one single reason for me to spend one more winter in this godforsaken place where it is cold and bleak and snowy and bleak and cold and awful.<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been pondering that today. <\/p>\n
i did buy one SPECTACULAR CHRISTMAS GIFT today, and i\u2019m pretty excited about it. i don\u2019t really know what to get for anybody else, but at least i have this one PHENOMENAL thing. very very happy about that.<\/p>\n
i also bought myself a hat, scarf, and some gloves. i already have two, maybe three pairs of gloves, but i\u2019m sure some of them will be lost by tomorrow, saturday at the latest. i bought a few more little gifts and I LOVE BUYING GIFTS.<\/p>\n
erica is going to be in one of the videos i\u2019m making for GRACETALK #3. randy is, too. i can\u2019t tell you what they\u2019re going to be doing, because you\u2019ll just have to COME TO THE SHOW AND SEE.<\/p>\n
tonight i printed up some 81\/2 x 11 show flyers to put up places. so let me know if you want one, and i\u2019ll get you one. i could e-mail it to you? and then you could display it in your office or workplace or place you go to every day, and then maybe more people would come to the show. so let me know (i would bet somebody a dollar that NOBODY will write to me about this, but who, exactly, would i bet? i could say i\u2019ll bet YOU, the reader, but YOU probably won\u2019t write me back anyway. but this is good, because maybe somebody would be out a whole DOLLAR and that would be too bad), and i\u2019ll be happy to get one to you.<\/p>\n
an example of my mysterious and unseen readers: (but maybe i told you this already, and if so, you can skip it) some guy who works with my brother-in-law jim apparently reads this ALL THE TIME, because he\u2019ll come up to jim and tell him about stuff that the guy knows about jim from reading this. WHO IS THIS MYSTERY MAN? will he come to my show and bring 499 of his closest friends and family members? maybe he has many many children, many relatives, many in-laws, he could bring all of them. <\/p>\n
i told a friend today about my worry about doing the show in the big theater at the hoogland and he said, “don\u2019t worry, the lights will be on you, you won\u2019t see them.” THAT\u2019S NOT WHAT WORRIES ME. the people don\u2019t worry me, it\u2019s the potential LACK of people.<\/p>\n
but really, i just can\u2019t get all worked up about it. i have to focus on HATING THE COLD AND SNOW.<\/p>\n
i did get up eventually, by the way, even though i did not want to. tonight after working and shopping and working some more, i worked out at the club even though i REALLY didn\u2019t want to do that because it\u2019s so damn cold out. but after forcing myself to work out a lot, i got in the hot tub and THAT, my friend, is what MADE MY DAY.<\/p>\n
hot hot hot bubbly water. excellent. i think it\u2019s a big part of the reason i\u2019m so tired right now. that, and the fact that i\u2019ve been up for almost thirteen whole hours today.<\/p>\n
there was a guy in the hot tub, and at one point he said “this is the best part of the day.” i was glad that somebody else felt just like i did.<\/p>\n
whew. <\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
