Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

Sometimes you make a decision that you know may upset/annoy/startle you, but you decide it is worth it.

Thought I had a handle on dishes. I mean, one side of the sink was pretty full, but the other side was empty and there was space on the drying rack--I just hadn't gotten around to finishing up. And I was running late for dinner today so I decided to just throw a frozen pizza in the oven. Something made me check and it was a good thing because I'd roasted a boneless turkey breast for sammich meat and left the pan in the oven. So I precariously stacked the roasting pan atop the other dishes. Then after I finished my pizza, I put the pizza pan on top of the roasting pan. Then, as I was getting ready for bed I realized the wok on the rangetop was also dirty. So. I decided to pile that on top of the other two pans. I had to be careful to keep everything from clattering noisily to the floor and realize any little nudge could dislodge them.

Oh! Did I mention that my cat has learned how to open the door under the sink? So yeah, it may startle me out of my sleep but it'll startle him a LOT more.

Shit. With my luck he'll probably manage to destroy something in fleeing. Oh well. Still probably worth it.

I cannot wait to hear the outcome of this.

Especially if it is just you having a restful night sleep
the cat being calm
and then you writing about it and your dream tomorrow.
 
Oh, wait, now I remember why he wasn't fucking around in the kitchen: He spent the whole night snuggled up against my shins. While The Dog was up against my shoulders and I spent the whole night with 20" of a double bed.
 
My favorite recent development is how they bury the one piece of info you need deep in the middle of fine print. How many pills is the recommended dosage? Do I hook the black cable up to the negative battery terminal or to the frame? That's all I need to know. I don't need any of the other tedious legal shit. But they know you won't read the tedious legal shit so they hide the one piece of info you need deep inside it. Because they know if you don't see it at the front you'll skip to the back and look there. The info you need isn't there so you turn the page...and it's the Spanish instructions. Maybe it's a separate sheet. Nope. Maybe the instructions are on the box. No. So you sit down and brace yourself for 1) Batteries use chemicals to store electricity. 1a) Chemicals are dangerous. 1b) Wear eye protection around chemicals ... 1f) Electricity is dangerous. 1g) Make sure device is unplugged before working on it... FINALLY, at ....3e) Attach the black (negative) cable to the frame. Motherfuckers.
 
If I could have one wish, it would be that John Williams had incorporated singing and/or whistling into the "Star Wars" score so we could watch a YouTube video of the Danish National Symphony with the Wa-Wa Girl in a slavegirl bikini. And a million dollars in cash. If I could have TWO wishes...
 
The problem with eating shrimp, for me, is that there may be all kinds of great shrimp meals, but when push comes to shove it's hard to beat just eating them chilled with cocktail sauce.

It's a little like meatloaf. Sure you can make it and it's tasty, but why not just make a hamburger. A lot less work and at least as tasty.
