"I have been so unomtivate dto blog lately. I don't what it is, I htink I'm uninspired."
I couldn't agree more with Mr. Hipster Dork (from whence today's blog title comes). Between frantically trying to pack up for next weekend's move to the New Place, organizing for a quick business trip down to Raleigh (leaving tomorrow morning), and trying to get ahead of the Big Idea--I'm just swamped.
Of course, being so busy with an overwhelming number of small tasks (next in line: locate missing silverware) inevitably triggers a strange desire to sit down and write out long and meaningless stream-of-consciousness ramblings, which brings me to the present moment. Consider yourself lucky, dear reader, that I will restrain myself to a 3 Random Things list*.
1. My dad is sitting downstairs right now watching television. Without a shirt on. This is an unusual thing, since we are a pretty "no unnecessary nudity in common spaces" sort of family. And given that I'm moving in less than a week, you'd think we could keep that policy in place for the remaining "together" time. Wouldn't you?
2. I went on the absolute worst date of my life on Saturday--so bad that the guy in question shall not even be given a name. We had been emailing and talking on the phone for a while and I was almost 100% sure that he was a dud (see "you are too available, call me 8 times a day to check in, and think that vacationing in Colorado is exotic") but I thought I might as well give it a first date. MISTAKE! After the first 10 minutes I just stopped trying to even hold up my end of the conversation, and was treated to an excruciating discourse on the relative merits of Sleep Number Beds vs. TempurPedic Beds. No joke. I could not have escaped faster if the cafe had caught fire.
3. I am having a degree problem. That is, what am I supposed to do with my diplomas? To date, they've remained in their handy cardboard mailers (and in one case, got moved to my filing cabinet). I sort of envisioned that some day I would be in a position to flaunt them in my fabulous office, where young things would cower before the unavoidable glare of my impressive accomplishments. I, of course, would know that having three degrees didn't mean jack, but it would be a sort of ironic statement of my success that I had that much wall space to fill. Unfortunately, that day has not yet come and I'm still in a place where wall space is at a premium and if there are young things cowering in my office (which doubles as a living room), it's for different reasons altogether.
* This was originally going to be a "10 Random Things" list, but I ran out of steam halfway through #2. Not a good sign for my writing skills, but promising for my ability to pack another 5 boxes before I go to bed tonight.

Thank you for including my typo's in the title...
