it's certainly strange getting up and ready in the morning. i'll be leaving for the first day of work in about 20 minutes and i'm a little bit nervous: new people, new office...the usual stuff.
i just finished enjoying a bowl of generic honey graham cereal and some gogurt (yogurt in a tube...strange, no?) and trying to relax by watching absolute crap on television. today's crap is MTV Cribs...because it's REALLY freakin' important to know what the drummer of Blink 182 keeps in his pantry.
in addition to putting 2000 miles to and from minot on my personal odometer, i've also acquired a cold -- and it's fantastic to start a new job with a wet, hacking cough. i slapped on a patch today, we'll so how that works.
i know i can always rationalize smoking, but is it really wise to quit with the stress of the first day of work???
they have ipods for pcs now. wait, didn't they always? now it's ipod+hp? wha?
my daughter used to want to visit ireland during her spring break. now it's denmark. and i'm not sure why. i'm sure denmark is lovely -- my grandfather was a dane -- but for an 8-year old to request denmark? strange.
and i hate lenny kravitz. and this gap commercial he is in. oh shite, i have to leave in 15 minutes.
wish me luck.....ugh...new things are good/scary.

Ad exec #1: Who could we find that's cutting-edge, that's now, that's over the top hip?
Ad exec #2: Kids love the retro.
Ad exec #1: Yeah, we should get someone retro. How do we decide.
Ad exec #2: Um, you find someone who sucked back in the day and then hire them to suck now and everyone thinks its clever. Should we get Gary Coleman?
Ad exec #1: No, no, no. Everyone says get Gary Coleman. I need something new, something fresh. We need to think ahead of the curve.
Ad exec #2: Ahead of the curve?
Ad exec #1: Yeah, someone who they haven't thought of as retro yet. When we can instill the sense of kitsch and then milk it, then we'll be able to coast using the same set of ads for years. Like that stupid lil' dog for Taco Bell a little bit ago.
Ad exec #2: That dog was fuckin' brilliant. You want to get the dog?
Ad exec #1: No, no. One-trick pony. Besides the Taco Bell guys would have our ass. No, we need to think of someone who sucks so bad that he still draws a sense of revulsion from people.
Ad exec #2: Saddam Hussein?
Ad exec #1: He's soooo November '03.
(music starts playing on the radio... a horrible cheap little riff with Dr Seuss-like lyrics without the charm...)
Ad exec #2: Good Lord, what the hell is the crap you've got playing?
Ad exec #1: The station is doing its "God Were We Stupid in the 90's" weekend. Playing hits from Silverchair and Bush and Sponge...
Ad exec #2: Who is this?
Ad exec #1: Lenny Kravitz
Ad exec #2: God, it's detestable.
(silence)
(execs suddenly look at each other with great excitement)
Ad exec #1 & #2: (simultaneously) Lenny Kravitz!
(curtain)
