Super Powers and Chocolate

I don't know what is going to be the end result of this post. I decided to sit down and just start writing so I don't know what is going to come out. It is a dangerous approach because sometimes it is scary what goes on in my head but you are reading this blog so I guess nothing can surprise you anymore.
The curtains are open so I can see the dance of the lightning playing across the skies and I am sitting here thinking about going out on the balcony. I have been wanting to go stand in the rain and pretend I was 6 years old. I think people forget to have fun sometimes. Remember when it was fun to play in the rain, build castles in the mud? Then I started thinking about what would happen if I went out there and got struck by lightning. And that is where I stopped since thinking about getting super human power would be taking it too far.
How stupid is that? Sitting here spinning stories in my head. Because I lied a little bit I did actually think about getting super human powers but I got stuck with thinking about which ones I would want. Do I want to become super smart? Not really. What good would that do? I don't think super smart people have fun lives. Seems to me they are always a prisoner of their own minds.
Flying? Sure. Like that is even possible. Maybe mind reading? That would be fun. Like Mel Gibson in What women want. (The lightning is getting closer and closer. Never been this close to it before.) Walking around and listening to people's thoughts would be a hoot. Hearing about the night before, when a nice looking chap or girl walks by, their list of groceries, how they are going to catch their cheating husband. Oh, but I might not want to know about certain things like how bad their fart smell or what their stomachs are doing or how they have a booger that is really bothersome. Maybe I don't want to be a mind reader. I don't think it would be good for my health.
Now I am starting to think about what I would really like if I could have anything I wanted right this minute. All I can think about is that I wanted to develop this killer metabolism and shed all the weight. So now I am depressed again and wish I had a chocolate bar.

Alone in the Office ...

Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. Maybe I have an active imagination, maybe have read too many books, maybe I have watched too much internet entertainment. I'm here working late, got to be ready for the holidays, right? Everyone has already gone home, Christmas shopping or just out having fun. Me? I am here enjoying some Ne-Yo ... One in a miiilllion parapapa. That boy is good. Even my Miss Independent self got to admit that he does make me go ooooohhh haaaaaa. Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. I start to think about hunky cleaners coming in after hours or an IT geek working long hours not realizing there is another person in the building. He makes himself comfortable .... really comfortable. See the air-conditioning can get very cold if you have been sitting in it for hours. I can understand that one might turn it off ... and then it gets to be sweltering hot. If you are wearing a suit and tie, you get hot. Really hot. Oh! Don't you know it .....

Listening to a Dialtone

The phone rang right in the middle of Glee. I jumped out of my chair and grabbed the receiver. There is a leak in the roof and they were going to try to fix it. I thought it was the builder telling me they couldn't fix it. Why would someone call when i am watching them perform New York? I snatch the phone and curtly say: "Hello?" Nothing... then a dialtone. I look at the receiver as if it was a person and scowl. Then I smile a little as jsut yesterday I had a conversation with Carlos about him calling and hanging up before I can answer the phone. According to him he lets the phone ring a million times before he hangs up and I say it rings maximum of three times. So now I am thinking that it is him "teaching" me a lesson. I call him back. The phone rings and no answer. Now I am mad. I can't believe I am missing Glee for this. I pledge revenge, hang up and make myself comfortable once again. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings again. Now, I will teach this...

Celebrity spotter 10, 9,...

Image
I added a new item to the list. Take pictures with 10 celebrities. Celebrity 10: Las t Friday we went to Jamie's new restaurant in Covent Garden. Standing there looking at the menu, I saw Gennaro. I've seen him on Saturday Kitchen before and remembered him because he said he didn't cook with olive oil; he only uses it for salads because it burns faster. Or so I remembered. After a lot of whispering I finally decided to approach him. So I asked him if he was the chef on Saturday Kitchen and if he was the one who doesn't cook with olive oil. He said No! I think that chef should be shot. I'm Italian and all Italians cook with olive oil, he says. He spoke with us for awhile and then moved on. Sitting there waiting for our food is when I added this item to my list. Gennaro is my first. After a very nice meal, we walk out of the restaurant and who do we spot? Louie Spence from Pineapple Dance Studio. Everyone loves him. He is just the most entertaining person to watch. Wo...
