Some assembly required...
Heh...funny episode of the Simpsons just popped into my head (yes, that happens all too often, I know). The Simpsons are trying to build a pool, but - misreading all the directions - have accidentally built a barn from the pool kit (and an Amish farmer just 'appears' from nowhere):
Homer: Alright, everybody in the pool.
Amish Farmer: 'Tis a fine barn, but sure 'tis no pool, English.
Homer: D'oh-eth!
Heh..."D'oh-eth!" Nothing like King James/Amish slang.
Anyway, my project is not building a pool, but trying to figure out how to mount this window AC unit into a vinyl window sill WITHOUT dropping the stupid thing out the window 15 feet to its doom (which wouldn't bother me so much if one of our cats was under it...okay, j/k). Still, my desire to turn my home into a redneck paradise (as a certain neighbor of mine thinks it would look with the AC unit hanging out of the side window) is being upheld by poorly written instructions and my lack of know-how in redneck installation projects. Heck, what am I saying...I'll just duct tape it to the window. Now, does anyone know where I can buy those pink flamingos you put in your yard? Or yard gnomes...those would be even cooler, I reckon (Southern drawl intentional), if I want to complete the image.
In other news...
This morning I talked to Amber on the phone. Funny, somehow the conversation turned into one where we were talking about how nasty public bathrooms can be. (She was talking about the ones where she works...it reminded me of the ones at a place where I used to work...and...ewwww...hung up the phone with some nasty images in my head). Note to self: If I need to go to the bathroom when at Stein Mart, just hold it in.
Still waiting on my rear surround speakers to ship out (they're STILL on backorder from Ecost.com). The only reason I've been so patient with it is because the price there is substantially lower than on other websites (a full 40% cheaper, in fact). Oh, well...one day soon, I hope. Right now, I'm still using some pretty big speakers for rear surrounds, and it looks pretty 1982.
Stacey's last day at Wal-mart was yesterday. Weird...didn't we just go through this job-change routine? Still, she already seems happier. At least for the past 11 months, she's been closer to home and hadn't had to commute to Huntsville. Hopefully, the job transition to her new job in June (I hope) will take place like she hopes it will.
KEY PHRASES: "The spacemonkey needs a banana...here, spacemonkey...blog...that's right...blog or no banana." (where did that come from?) "I've got the inside scoop on what bodily affliction Brian's next blog entry might be about...hint: They can be slimy or crusty." (easy, fellas...don't sin :-)). "Anyone know anyone (a boss, co-worker, etc.) you'd like to conveniently stand under my bonus room window while I install the AC unit?"
