Friday, January 31, 2003 "Gosh. A whole baby. Who knew?" -my message inside a "congratulations" card. posted by ben | 1:42 PM | (0) comments Thursday, January 30, 2003 I recently got a haircut, and my boss - filtered through his thick Argentinian accent - said it was either "economic", "ergonomic", or "aerodynamic". I couldn't understand which. I think they all apply. posted by ben | 2:25 PM | (0) comments Tuesday, January 28, 2003 When I'm in charge, all restrooms are going to play loud music. Because even if you don't like the song, it's still preferable to the other noises you'd hear. posted by ben | 10:58 AM | (0) comments Thursday, January 23, 2003 My prediction for the next generation of laptop computers: Built-in LCD projectors. Aim the back of your 'puter to the wall and BANG! Instant cinema. Or for you business types, power point presentations. v.2 of the built-in LCD: Bendy-lens (tm). Leave your computer flat on the table (instead of angling it up towards the wall) and just pull the bendy-lens (tm) out and point it to wherever blows your skirt up. I want one already. posted by ben | 11:28 AM | (0) comments Monday, January 20, 2003 The more expensive the restaurant, the less food you get. posted by ben | 3:14 PM | (0) comments Friday, January 17, 2003 I've been drooling over this for a couple weeks now. The nice man at the mac store says that they won't ship until March. Argh. I gotta get my mac on NOW! benlau won't be happy until he's bathed in his ambient keyboard light burning DVDs. posted by ben | 3:39 PM | (0) comments Thursday, January 16, 2003 I need to invent a persona. posted by ben | 4:59 PM | (0) comments The more I prioritize, the more I put things off. posted by ben | 1:03 PM | (0) comments I'd rather be accused of making a lame pun than mis-spelling a word. posted by ben | 12:24 PM | (0) comments Wednesday, January 15, 2003 I get in the elevator by myself to go down to lunch. The doors open on the 6th floor. Two women get on, gabbing back and forth like stuck geese. One woman is holding something that is making a loud obnoxious electric noise; her cell phone. We pass the second floor, headed for the lobby and she has yet to answer her phone. It still rings. My eyes get wide and my nerves get shot. "Do you want me to answer that?" I ask cordially. The two women stop talking. The phone stops ringing. The elevator doors open. posted by ben | 1:31 PM | (0) comments The same number of people I know who have seen the late night let's-make-fun-of-Catholicism-so-I'm-probably-not-going-to-get-most-of-the-jokes-anyway show at ACT equals the same number of people I know who will benefit from the repeal of the tax on corporate dividends. Yay economy! posted by ben | 1:12 PM | (0) comments Monday, January 13, 2003 From the That Part Of The Job Looks Cool dept. Looking out at the train tracks, I saw a utility truck zip down the line where the Sounder usually pulls in about three. The white truck stopped at the crossing, lifted it's metal rail wheels, and turned east on Royal Brougham. posted by ben | 1:41 PM | (0) comments Friday, January 10, 2003 Mood Pasta. posted by ben | 10:50 AM | (0) comments Thursday, January 09, 2003 The days I wake up late are the days I miss the bus. posted by ben | 9:48 AM | (0) comments Thursday, January 02, 2003 Today's date: 1-2-3. I dig that. posted by ben | 12:38 PM | (0) comments I'm eating a shimp louis salad for lunch today I bought at the 5th Avenue Cafe yesterday. It tastes alright, but I'll probably find out later if anything bad occured due to it being in my backpack for 7 hours. posted by ben | 12:12 PM | (0) comments |
