Accio Job!

We're going to the grocery store in a little while. Then we'll have food in the house that wasn't delivered by a stranger. Plus I'm making some of my famous chili tonight. When I have my bed and breakfast, it will be one of my signature brunch dishes. You'll be able to get it with a side of fried polenta. We'll be mixing it up like that...

I have also been seeking to deal with some minor annoyances in life, those few that are actually in my control. I called the DM for Wendy's to complain about my biggie drink with no soda syrup, and my chicken planks that were old and had no sauce. They charge a dollar apeice for those freakin' things, so I was bummed when they gave me some that had been sitting around for like, a week. Plus when I called to tell them they were out of syrup (it was a Seirra Mist, so you couldn't tell by looking) they told me to come in and they'd give me another one, then hung up. Good plan, but I of course, don't have a car. So I'm getting some coupons from them.

Plus I sent an emial to the post office asking why I'm having such a tough time getting packages. It seems that as predicted, my new mailperson thought the name Wednesday Friday was made up. Even though the packages that come for my roomate under the guise of "Monkey and a Typewriter productions" are totally normal and beleivable to him. What a maroon! Anyway, I'm feeling slightly empowered just because I'm tackling some smallish things and taking some wee little victories where I can. Going to try to write two more chapters tonight and tomorrow. This is suposed to be a much easier week for NaNo. We shall see...week three here I go! Plus, I'm thinking I may do NaNoWriYe if I can come up with a schedule by January. I'd kind of like to stay in the groove of productivity I've discovered. It's fun, plus maybe one in five things I write won't be utter crap. Unless I take up romance novels, which i may, I hear it's an easy business to break into.

I watched Harry Potter and SS this morning to try and put myself in a good mood. I can't wait to watch the 3rd movie a zillion times at home.
I've only seen it once, you know.

I thought the name "Wednesday Friday" was made up.

Which has nothing to do with its validity, of course.

Whoa... aren't all names made up?

Why yes, yes they are.

I imagine you rolling your eyes as you typed that.

Ya think?

Well technically Wednesday Friday is a made up name. Except that ALL names are made up. They have to come from somewhere. Like when someone says 'snark' is a made up word. No shit sherlock! Do you know of a work that isn't made up.

One could assert that onomanpoeatic words are not made up, but they still probably are.

what a weird mailcarrier! My friends and I used to send mail under crazy pseudonyms all the time as long as the address was correct no problems. I would think the postoffice would have checked the adress, seen it was valid and then no problem.

I find myself saying "ACCIO..." all the time..if only it worked!

Well, those letter carrying bastards haven't heard the last of me...okay, it's not as serious as all that, but honestly!

So if your mailperson thinks that the person is "Made up" they can do whatever they want with the mail?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-11-15 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
No they're returning it to sender, but still...what a pain in the ass!

[identity profile] sudrin.livejournal.com 2004-11-15 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
If the sender put a stamp on a piece of mail, even if it had a made up name and its a valid address, then it should be delivered. I suddenly feel the urge to order a lot of sex toys and have them shipped around to people with "Fake names" and see if they get returned to sender.

Well, I can always use some new sex toys...

I would've participated in NaNoWriMo, but it would've ended up some weird off-the-wall fantasy novel, cause I'm just weird like that.

What's wrong with that? i mean, have you seen some of the garbage people are writing? Point it, they are writing.

You clearly have a lot to say. Maybe NaNoWriYe is more your style.

[identity profile] anarchys-savior.livejournal.com 2004-11-15 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd do NaNoWriYe, but...no time, and lack of dedication. I'm just not the writing type. :P More power to you that you can concentrate for that...hey, let's go ride bikes!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-11-15 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly, I no longer have a bike.
