another for the list!

song in my head when i woke up this yesterday morning: "over my head (cable car)" by the fray. guess that's better than the other day when i woke up with rihanna's "unfaithful". do you think it means anything in particular when certain songs are with you from the very moment you wake up?

while we're talking about music, apparently my impersonation of shakira in "hips don't lie" sounds like ernie. yes, THAT ernie. shak-ernie, says D. be afraid. "rubber duckie don't lie, i'm startin' to feel it's right."

pun of the yesterday: D brought strawberries and cheese for lunch.
A: is your cheese smoky?
D: yeessss. and it's gouda.
A: aww man. that's NOT pun of the day, by the way.
D: very gouuuuda.
A: okay fine, maybe it is.

anyway, as for the "list" that i mentioned in the title, let's add Goodwill Guy to Cafeteria Man ("Just let me watch yo' figure!"), The Phlebotemist ("Don't go back to work - let me take you to lunch."), Pretty Feet! Guy ("Pretty feet!") and my all-time favorite, The African Prince ("You should let me take you to africa, and you can be my queen."). the best line Goodwill Guy had: "So, uh...is it hot enough for ya?" i give him a 4 out of 5 for effort and for working outside on these 100+ days.

in other news, i think this needs to be said: my name is april and i'm a puzzle-holic. it is bad that puzzle-ing is starting to adversely affect my work?

If your friend/co-worker/loved one is doing puzzles, the following areas of their life may be affected:

• Work performance. Your friend suddenly shows an active dislike for work, looks for excuses to stay home ("It's hot outside."), and experiences a drop in performance.
• Physical health. Listlessness and fatigue may indicate your friend/co-worker is doing puzzles.
• Money. Sudden requests for money without a reasonable explanation for its use may be a sign of puzzle-ing. You may discover money stolen from previously safe places. Items may disappear from your home because they're being sold to support a puzzle habit.

i'm not really sure where to go from here. perhaps my thirst will never be satiated until i help put THIS together.

donna told me about how she had a waitress who went by "Vana" (pron. "vonna"), short for "Nirvana". that's pretty cool, i thought, but what would make it better is if she went by "Nirvy". THAT, i think is the much better name. i can't wait until i have my two kids, Nirvana & Baltimore. or, as i will call them, Nirvy & Tim.

S'NOT quote of the day: "for days when you feel fat, just remember: keep moving. a body in motion is beauty in progress." - lame DJs on some DC station

exchange of the day: (perhaps not as funny in print)

A: haha, on a good day.

A: hrmm. well, im rongero.
