I haven't done a Day in the Life of a Superstar in two years!

The Day: November 17, 2005
7:26 - I wake. It's not fair, because I'm still tired. I spent all night trying to readjust in bed so that my hip didn't hurt so bad. I don't know what's wrong with it.
7:30 - Alarm goes off. I have LCCC's radio station on. For some reason I finally sleep well after the alarm goes off.
7:46 - Wake up and get up. Brush teeth. For you nosey people, I showered last night, so that's good enough for me.
7:50 - Watch for the weather. They've been forecasting rain all week, but I think they're wrong again.
7:55 - Sure enough, they changed their mind. No rain. I'll get to wear my new shoes then. The rest of the clothes will build themselves.
8:07 - Breakfast. I wanted to go to Connerton's, to try to make my day like the very first Day in the Life..., but I checked my finances and decided cereal would be best.
8:16 - The Today show is doing a series on plastic surgery. They have that charismatic retard from Dr. 90210 on as an expert in the field.
8:17 - I look for the Big Audio Dynamite song "Rush" because I know Greg would love it-- and I already do.
8:19 - Leave for work
8:27 - Get to work and sign into the computer.
8:32 - Read my email. Nothing extra interesting... just work.
8:34 - Started typing my day's events for the website
8:43 - Checked out facebook. Someone didn't recognize me from my baby picture and she felt bad. I let her go because I'm good like that.
8:58 - Just finished filling in the day before 8:30.
8:59 - YES! The Basil T's commercial is on G-Rock radio (webcast). These people are ridiculous and hilarious! I love their commercials.
9:06 - Start talking to Alisha and Mom online. Not together though, they're in different places.
9:17 - Still talking to Alisha. Mom told me to call the doctor about my hip. I might.
9:42 - I forgot to check in, but I'm doing work. It's been a while, I know. Now, off to more work...
9:44 - Signed into myspace. Just passing the time. I'll do the work.
9:47 - See, I'm done. But now Coldplay's on, so I have to find more music.
9:49 - Yes... New music is Death from Above 1979. Disco-metal. Hot.
10:22 - Curse at my computer a lot. I think its main function is to waste my time and lose all the hard work I do-- I'd better save this.
10:31 - Some group of ladies is giggling outside my door. It's really annoying me. I thought, "What is so freaking funny?! Shit-- there are classes going on on this floor and you're not the center of the damn universe!"
10:33 - I worry that the ladies may have ESP and know that I was yelling at them in my head. Then I realize they're giggling morons, and the worry leaves me.
10:37 - Got a bulletin in MySpace about women trying to understand men again. For the love of God-- we're all human beings. It's not like you can figure something out and have a metaphoric key to unlock the mystery of all men-- we're all complex, individual beings. What works for Tom Arnold doesn't work for me. God it does not. Rosanne Barr...
11:00-ish - I called my insurance company to see where I can get x-rays.
11:50 - I know, I know. It's been a while. I've been working. I'm sorry. My computer has some spyware on it. It's bugging me. I'm trying to fix it. Melody stopped in too, and we complained about miscellaneous things.
11:54 - Should I watch Unsolved Mysteries for lunch at noon, or stay at work a little longer to enjoy the 90's at Noon, which plays some of the best-forgotten songs from the decade of my youth? Hmm...
11:59 - Well I've been listening to static for a couple minutes now, so it looks like I'll be catching Unsolved Mysteries.
12:10 - Still static-- I'm going home.
12:12 - I decide that it's too freaking cold. This is like that time Greg, Chris, and I were talking outside and we were all freezing, except Chris, who stood in the sun, while we stood in shadows. Stand in the sun everybody.
12:16 - Turn on Unsolved Mysteries and prepare lunch.
12:35 - UM is showing a story about a girl who was abducted by bikers in the 70's. It's an awesome one, but sadly she, Amy Billig, is still missing. If you know her, contact your local law enforcement agency.
12:40 - Finish salad, start sandwich.
1:00 - Returned to work with cupcakes for Melody. She was delighted.
1:10 - Found out that Amy Billig's mom died and she never found her daughter. I do that with the UM cases, because I always figure they should be solved by now. This one wasn't. I like to think that the mother was an inspiration to all people with missing loved ones, and she made a difference.
1:15 - Back to work.
1:55 - Some beautiful woman came in to borrow a stapler. It pays to be prepared.
2:19 - It's been an hour, but you haven't missed much. I added an article to the website and did some work. G-Rock radio still has static too, so I'm listening to the Magic Numbers. They were up for the Mercury Prize this year-- simply because they're incredible.
2:22 - I think I'll wish Lindsay a happy birthday again. This would be the fourth overall time. I got her with mail, IM, and myspace. Let's facebook her.
2:28 - Whoa-- you missed this. I got to go out on the field
2:55 - Petitioned Lindsay to let me take a nap at work. She's not my boss, so it didn't help very much.
3:13 - Still at work. Contemplating the evening plans.
4:05 - Bad news. I totally forgot about this. I guess it's okay though. I haven't done much outside of work. Nothing very interesting. Of course I have Brian Regan on, so work is even more exciting.
4:17 - Work's almost done... time to pack up slooowly.
4:20 - Toke up at work.
4:27 - I leave work. The "Ed" janitor came in already. He still bugs me.
4:32 - Walk into my building and hear what cuts through me like the death cry of my first born: a musclehead yelling "Woooo!" for no reason at all. I hate that.
4:35 - Put on the Scream 2 soundtrack for the first time in many years. I laugh my ass off at the first track, by Master P. Continue laughing for the next two songs, until D'Angelo teams up with Prince. Nice.
4:40 - Changed my clothes because the Dockers pants bugged me today.
5:00 - Turn on the X-Files without watching Ripley's Believe it or Not. I don't like that shitty show because they took off Sliders to put it on. I love Sliders.
5:45 - I fell asleep, but I woke up now. Reheating some noodles and carrots for dinner.
5:55 - There wasn't a lot of dinner. It was tiny, so I'm done. Did the dishes now. Three days worth. Yikes.
6:07 - Chit-chatting with Marissa and thinking of some ways to make my superstar day less boring.
6:30 - In the car, on the way to Blockbuster and I experience loathing when I hear Christmas music, then extreme joy when "Christmas Wrapping" comes on. I perform for the duration.
6:34 - I'm at Blockbuster. I go in looking for Unleashed, to buy.
6:40 - No dice. I leave Blockbuster.
6:42 - The original "Grinch" comes on. Nice.
6:46 - Uh-Oh! "Oh Holy Night" from Neil Diamond. Hot ass!
6:49 - Turkey Hill. No creme donuts, so I just get milk.
6:52 - In the car, there was a commercial for a bird store that sells bird supplies. They had bird noises. I thought I had birds in the car.
7:17 - I'm back at the apartment, but I have been for a while now.
7:20 - Decide to build a fort and play with my dollar store gun.
7:58 - Play around online listening to some new artists on Vice Records. Nobody good.
8:30 - Go to get a shower. My drain is clogged. It pisses me off. I'm showering in water up to my shins. I live in a dump.
9:00 - Made it out of the shower in time to watch Locusts: The 8th Plague.
9:04 - Find out Dan Cortese is in it and shit myself. Have to get another shower.
9:57 - Kill a bug.
10:00 - Decide to play phone tetris. This could be a while. I'm good.
10:59 - Finish phone tetris. Level 29. Not my best, but fair.
11:00 - The movie's over and I watch the Daily Show.
11:10 - Hear my neighbor in her shower, which I share a wall with. Hers doesn't sound leaky, or at least she's not going, "What the hell?! I hate this thing!" like I did.
11:14 - My heater in the other room is making a lot of noise. I reach to turn it off and then feel that there's no handle and burn myself. I hate it. Used a wrench.
11:28 - Start to type up my day's events in this.
11:43 - Finish typing events.
11:46 - My head hurts. Ouch! Oh. I'm watching The Colbert Report. Excellent stuff. Thanks for the suggestion Greg.
11:50 - The day's almost over. It hasn't been very eventful.
11:51 - Oh my gosh! Ninja's just came through the door. They're dressed in disco clothes. I'm scared!
11:52 - The ninjas sit down and watch The Colbert Report for me.
11:54 - While they laugh, I grab my dollar store gun and shoot them with real sounding shots from the speaker. Coooool!
11:59 - Start talking to Nora. The night will go on, but the day is over now kids. Until next time, I remain, a superstar!
