Ready to Go Crazy NonSequitor Today? Here we go.
#1. You have no f*ing idea how incredibly hormonal I am.
To quote Ernie, it’s like I’m sitting on a porch with a 40 of estrogen. Laid back.
#2. What’s the best way to continue a lifestyle of intriguing but ridiculous underemployment?
Scene: So I’m sitting at my desk, chatting with folks with tunes blasting out.
In particular Groove Armada’s “I see you baby…shaking that ass”
In fact, I’m doing a seated butt dance and singing along at the time this afternoon.
“Yeah baby, I see ya baby.. shaking that ass.. shaking that ass…”
Suddenly the phone rings.
*bRrring.
*bRrring
I answer
“shaking that ass, shaking that ass… hello?”"
The voice on the other line says
“Um hi, Min, this is **** from Company X…we were hoping that you wouldn’t mind if instead of talking to you
tomorrow for your second interview if we we could speak with you for a few moments on the phone today with *****
here on the conference call who would be your other manager…”
In a cliche’ed near death experience type of reaction, the last 10 seconds of my life got a weird eery sort of glow
and repeated in slow motion in my head and I started staring at the bright light ahead of me.
“Um, Ok… “
And *then* I turned off the speaker still blaring out “Shaking that ass… shaking that ass” and stopped staring at
the blinking chat screens in front of me.
I do not think I recovered well.
#3. God is laughing at me. One hopes in a good way.
I was chatting earlier today with a girl I haven’t seen in…woah, nearly 14 years. We went to gradeschool and junor
high together. She’s pretty much the same from the sounds of it. I was rather surprised that she remembered
who I was since I’d gone through re-inventing myself during my highschool/early college days…changing from Julia
Kim, my Catholic Name, to Min Jung Kim, my ethnic & legal name — which also has weird associations.
Out of curiousity I google searched the handful of names that I remembered from elementary school days.
Alas, very little about them is up on the web. Curiosity got the better of me and then I did a search on Julia Kim.
Hey, remember my little thing about consubstantiation vs transubstantiation a few days ago?
Ok, go read that first.
And now go read this.
Now, doesn’t that make you want to go have a really nice rare piece of prime rib?
#4. Watercress, Ice Coffee, Frying Bananas,
Dinner at Le Cheval with some very good funny and sweet pals to see Ritchie off before he heads back to Canada.
Too much trash talk and recollecting of good times while creating new ones.
Life is not too bad at all.
#5. Anti-Bloggie Nominations & Etc
* Yesterday’s entry I think qualifies me reasonably for the Biggest PottyMouth award
* My Terms of service, qualifies me for Worst Use of the Third Person award
* Who’s got the most stalkers? I do have a tendency to have odd interactions with freaky people.
Well I have some evidence that I can point you to here.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Exhibit D
Exhibit E
Exhibit F
I know there is more out there but I can’t seem to find them right now.

Someone was kind enough to get me a gourmet gift set from them for Xmas and I delighted in it muchly. Totally incredibly decadent goodies in there.
Aminah, my gal pal, is a woman of incredibly fabulous good taste and I can see her touch in the selections of ceramics and linens that they’ve added to their warehouse. For Valentines Day, upcoming weddings, or house warming girst, I think you’ll find some very nice goodies there.

That’s it for now.

Ps.
Belly Button is indeed an “innie”
This is in response to recent request for proof as my most recent IM “away” message has been
“Unlike my belly button, I’m outtie right now.”
