Monday, April 28, 2003 My dentist's office overlooks a cemetary. posted by ben | 5:08 PM | (0) comments Thursday, April 24, 2003 When referring to rooms, calling something a "bath" is much more elegant than calling something a "bathroom". Plus, "bath" fits better on tab dividers. posted by ben | 4:40 PM | (0) comments Friday, April 18, 2003 I'm a bit of a ruthless vigilante in my dreams. Probably my psyche counterbalancing the mild mannered office worker I am when I'm awake. And people wonder why I sleep so much. posted by ben | 11:57 AM | (0) comments Thursday, April 17, 2003 From the If You Can't Beat Them, Buy Them dept. It's like getting your coffee from Microsoft. p.s. to this story: I can see the headquarters for both Starbucks and Amazon from my desk. Nothing really relevant here, just an interesting fact. posted by ben | 6:15 PM | (0) comments If you write down an unwritten rule, what happens? posted by ben | 10:58 AM | (0) comments Tuesday, April 15, 2003 From the It's Good To Be The King dept. Jeeze. Get caught as a victim of a race crime, and get away with murder. posted by ben | 4:12 PM | (0) comments It's pretty neat when my boss sneaks up behind me and catches me working. posted by ben | 2:37 PM | (0) comments "Celebrities burp, slime flies at Kids' Center Awards" Saw this headline on the bus this morning, and thought, "well, if anybody could slime a fly, it's a celebrity." posted by ben | 9:34 AM | (0) comments I giggled over this as I was trying to sleep. Somehow, I doubt it's actually funny. WorldCom, in an effort to alleviate a public relations disaster due to a bankruptcy filing and accounting scandal, has changed its name to MCI. In a related story, famous rapper MC Hammer now wants you to call him if you're hiring. Yeah, didn't think so. posted by ben | 9:18 AM | (0) comments Monday, April 14, 2003 From the Theatre Geek dept. "I refuse to refer to the lights in my house as 'practicals'." -S. Anderson. posted by ben | 11:59 AM | (0) comments I've had the same desklamp for 20 years. I guess you could say it's a fixture in my life.

Old crazy smelly man's head started to bob like his neck was broken, then the bus took a left turn and he leaned over. I was going to wake him up, but my stop was less than one minute away and I figured I'd just wake him when I got up. He eventually woke up on his own and mumbled something, but by this time I had turned up the iPod to an almost defening level to escape the stark realities of the metro, so I didn't hear what he said. If the bus had turned the other way and he leaned and fell into the aisle, would I have been able to catch him? Would I have tried? posted by ben | 10:43 AM | (0) comments Friday, April 04, 2003 The Computer. Is In. The House. posted by ben | 12:26 PM | (0) comments Thursday, April 03, 2003 I'm surprised nobody's bought me a new phone battery yet. I say "my cell's about to die" more than al Qaida. posted by ben | 2:17 PM | (0) comments Wednesday, April 02, 2003 I spent a few hours last night meditating on the fact that "no comment" is, in itself, a comment. posted by ben | 2:25 PM | (0) comments Tuesday, April 01, 2003 I have now resolved to eat all cookies and cake before a meal. They taste better that way. posted by ben | 12:20 PM | (0) comments |
