Various Random Thoughts and Elizabeth Random Too!

Hi there and welcome to I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You, your blog for spring time pastels.

I'm Dave-El and today, in lieu of the usual Sunday post sort of/kind of about sports, I'm going to take a look at some random Tweets from my Twitter account (which can be found here) and see where that takes us.

Over the next weeks, I will clear out the dust bunnies under my bed. That's right, I'm giving up lint for Lent.

OK, I've been doing that joke for years now and nobody ever seems to get it. Most nod knowingly and say, "Good idea, dedicating yourself to spring cleaning during Lent." Others just scrunch up their faces and go, "I don't get it."  

By the way, this year I actually gave up something for Lent. It started when my daughter brought up the topic of giving up something for Lent. She said she was prepared to give up video games. Well, I'm all for that. Except she wanted to know what I would give up. So decided to give up iced tea. 

I live in the southern United States. Sweeten iced tea is essentially liquid crack for us down here. And I gave that up! Thank goodness today is Easter 'cause I don't think I can hold out any longer.

For #DaylightSavingTime2014 remember when setting your clocks: spring backward in fear, fall forward like you're drunk, got it? #EvilLaugh

I hate Daylight Savings Time. It takes all night to get dark. 

Maybe my sense of humor is lacking in "humor" or "sense" but nobody gets that joke either.

FYI, my tongue hurts. (Really. My tongue. Hurts.)

All my life, I've had problems off and on with mouth ulcers. As I've gotten older, they now pop on my tongue. What the hell is that about?! 

Back in the spring of 2012, I actually had an infected tongue. Really. An... infected... tongue. I had to miss a day of work because my tongue was swollen, it hurt like hell and I couldn't speak. Trying to explain this to the receptionist at the doctor's office was fun. 

"Why do you need to see the doctor today?"

"Muh tng hrz."

"What?"

"Muh tng hrz!"

"I'm sorry, I don't..."

"MUH TNG HRZ!!"

Here was a Tweet that Dr. Travis Langley posted on Twitter (I follow the good doctor and he follows me).

An ad for Batman Condoms for "Extended Pleasure". Here was my comment on that.

@Superherologist @GregCapullo If this was from DC, the condom would have to be replaced during sex due to a last minute change in direction

Now watching #IronMan on FX with commercials & stuff even though I have a perfectly good Blu-Ray but I REALLY don't want to leave the couch.

This is an interesting phenomenon for me. I've done this with other movies: sit through an edited for television movie peppered with ads when I own a perfectly good Blu-Ray or DVD of the movie. 

A lot has been said about the evolution of television and how the old ways of scheduling programs will go the way of the dodo bird. However, as long as there are lazy schlobs like myself who'll watch whatever happens to be own because the alternative is to move my lazy ass, well, there will always be a need for regular TV.

Chicago PD has been on for like six weeks and this is at least the second time the serious woman cop is dispatched as a Sexy Decoy

So I came up with this observation. 

Dave-El‏@DayWayLo Apr 8

@mcgee_gorgo TV execs should just give us a cop show called "Sexy Decoy". It is what it is, it's right there in the name, no shame or fuss.

And I would watch that show. Really.

Unlike certain multi-billion dollar corporations, I had to actually pay some #taxes this year. Don't spend it in one place now, Uncle Sam.

One of my key tax deductions is going away and it's all my fault. My deduction for mortgage interest has dwindled to bupkiss because the mortgage is actually going down. There's less debt to assess interest against. In a few short years, our mortgage will be paid and I'll enjoy that time of financial freedom for all of three seconds before I take out a 2nd mortgage to fix all the crap that needs fixing around here. 

I swear to you, I was never, ever meant to be a homeowner. When I was a kid, I wanted to live in a big city high rise apartment, just like Bob Newhart and Suzanne Pleshette. And if you have no idea what I'm referencing to, then you whippersnappers get off my damn lawn, why don't ya?

And that's that for this blog of random bits and things. Oh, in case you're wondering, "Elizabeth Random" is a character portrayed by May Robson in one of my all-time favorite movies, Bringing Up Baby. 

Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, May Robson and Charles Ruggles from Bringing Up Baby

Click here for the Wikipedia write up on this classic film or better yet, go find it on Netflix or something and watch it. Seriously, a super funny movie.
