And how was your day? (No Communities)

1. Have you been hit on by a straight female?
2. Have you purchases something that you can't afford and wish you could return it?
3. Have you agreed to do something for someone but really dread the thought of falling through with it?
4. Is there someone on your LJ friends list you really want to have a serious relationship?
5. Have you done something at work that borders on being unethical?
6. Are you harboring a secret vice that no one knows about?
7. Do you want to punch someone in the face?
8. Have you had sex with someone and after it was over, you wanted to vomit because it was so horrible?
9. If you switch places with someone on your LJ friends list, who would it be?
10. What are you getting yourself for Christmas?

When you go to parties, do you ever get the feeling that the other guests find you Boring? If so, here are eight signs that the person you're talking to is bored out of their mind:  

#6.) Abrupt changes of topic: When someone abruptly switches the topic of conversation, it's not because they were so interested in what you were saying that they wanted to save some for later. It's because they're bored with the topic and with you.

#7.) Body position: When someone's really interested in you, their body will be turned to face you. If they're turned even slightly away from you, it's probably because they think you're a total snooze-fest. 

#8.) Posture: Studies have shown that when people are bored, they tend to slouch, lean and fidget more than when they're genuinely interested.

Mike and Glen were inside the city limits this morning from their self-imposed exile out in St Chuck and we got together for lunch and then came back and hung out for awhile to catch up. Afterwards, it was time to address the issue with Matt's battery. During last week's cold snap, it wouldn't start for him, but thn started right up as the thermometer rose. This morning as we were leaving for lunch, it wouldn't start again. But when we got back and got the old truck (which has no problems starting) in place to jump it, it turned over. Matt had checked a couple of shops this week, but it was a special size and would have to be ordered. Sure, we only paid $13k for a 7-year-old (at the time) Merc' - which i still say was a smart move since it's pushing a quarter mil' and still running strong and looks great - but sometimes upkeep can be a bit on the pricey side.



The biggest issue with swapping out the battery is the theft-proof radio. Once you lose the juice, you have to enter a code to get it to work again. We went through this the last time and i'm sure i've got the email from MB in my inbox somewhere since i keep EVERYthing. But the liquid crystal display on the radio doesn't work anymore so we wouldn't be able to read the prompts. i had contemplated some kinda Rube Goldbergesque solution like using jumper cables from the new battery to the engine while we swapped them out, but Matt could only envision us coated with battery acid eating away our flesh after i'd blown the damn things up. Fuck it, i figured Sears would have a solution. Hell, every car's got computers and stuff that need constant power and sure enough, they had a way to keep low wattage juice to the system to keep a feed while they swapped it out. And they had the right battery in stock. So off we went and an hour or so later we had a new battery.



On the way home, we stopped at the store so Matt could get the final fixin's for a pineapple-upside-down cake. Matt had to pause by the holiday liquor displays to say hey to the Crown Royal boxes (with NEW LOOK!!). He loved his Crown-on-the-rocks, but his tummy just won't have it anymore which is why he doesn't like going out as much anymore. Poor baby. i dropped him by the house to get started on his cake and went to Old St Louis Chop Suey ("CASH ONRY!!") for some of the yummiest chinese in town. Sure, we'd just gone to Mekong the night before, but that's actually Vietnamese. Beside, the Chinese eat chinese pretty much every night and yadda-yadda million chinese can't be wrong.

Saturday came and went. There was some shopping at Target involved. Catching up on LJ and flickr. A nap. Just trying to forget work and rest a bit. Robert came by and we got some dinner and He and Matt played L4D some. Matt went to the Cheap Trx xmas party and Sir put my collar on me and took me to the Blue Max leather club xmas night at the bar. It was the best night out i'd had in a long time. Probably because with my collar on, i can just let all my worries and cares go away since i don't have control over them anymore. Some of you won't understand, but it's really just that simple. The look was quite popular and some of the twinks and the Seagrams "Honey"s that were there hawking their stuff wanted a pic with me instead of the club's Santa. i told 'em, "Sure...did you give the club your $5 for their charity? OK, then let's go!" That's Kenny, Robert, the ever-cute Jason & Dustin with lil' Jason of Jason & Jason fame (man, i know a lot of Jasons!) front and center. Notice the one random dude who crashed our picture peeking over my shoulder? LOL! We had a wonderful and relaxing evening and Sir took off my collar and dropped me off about 2:30. i thought that Matt would have been in bed hours ago, but as it turns out he was up past 2 with Robert/shadowwolf1970 and Josh/fuzzywuzzycub killin' zombies. So, i'd say a pleasant time was had by all.
