Oh So Boring…

Icon

The trials and tribulations of a man and his life. Tribulations, that's an odd word. Let's blog about it…

Vroom!

Sometimes, when I’m alone in my apartment…

Okay, that’s redundant.

Sometimes, when I’m in my apartment…

…I make car noises as I walk around.

Vroooooom! as I move forward.

Vreeeewww! as I turn a corner.

Skreeeeee! as I stop.

Sometimes I sound like an F1 car, sometimes a Cup car, sometimes a World Rally Car.

Yup.

See what you are missing, ladies?!

Yours in you know you do it too,

Matt

Ahh…Sudoku

Nothing like completing a sudoku puzzle in 4 minutes to make one feel better. :)

Okay, yeah, it was an easy puzzle.

Okay, a really easy one.

Yes, I am doing the Jumble next. The really hard Jumble!

Shut up.

Hugs,
Matt

ETA: Completed the crossword in ten minutes as well. Woo! Gotta love Tuesday puzzle easiness! (Easiosity?)

ETA2: Found the 12 differences! And it was an advanced puzzle as well!

Requiem For a Goatee

I am sad to report the end of the Goatee of the Summer of ’09. Its end was swift-ish, and blame is placed on the brutal Braun.

Yes, this morning, as I was shaving with my (admittedly old) Braun shaver, that weird cutter bar thing in the middle of the foils decided that the best course of action was to grab onto some beard hairs. Too many hairs. At once.

This was…painful, shall we say. Apparently, when pain is greater than a stubbed toe, but less than a kidney stone, I swear. A lot. Voluminously.

After swearing and blinking away the tears the pain brought to my eyes, I groped around and finally groped for and found some scissors, I was able to extricate shaver from beard. At this point my beard was suddenly and severely lop-sided, so, after clearing out the shaver, the rest went away as well.

Au revoir, mon barbe!
