Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

The ol' classic case of Russian-spy-facing-an-internal-emotional-and-ethical-struggle-on-whether-to-leave-her-murderous-KGB-ways-behind-her-or-do-her-assigned-task-and-then-figure-out-how-to-deal-with-the-complicated-feelings-she-was-going-to-have-to-endure-after-killing-the-American-democratic-loving-hussy-next-to-her-on-the-plane-even-though-all-she-had-really-done-wrong-was-to-love-freedom-and-judge-her-for-giving-her-boyfriend-a-handy-on-the-plane.

If I had a nickel....

I look at that and think what a pain in the patootie it must have been to put all of those dashes in there...

Stories from a plane. First flight the guy next to me was wearing a marathon finisher shirt. I think that's what he did prior to boarding because the BO was ******* rank. He went to bathroom at one point and I caught him sniffing himself when he came back. I wanted to be like, yeah, it's you who reeks.

Next flight I get a lovey dovey couple. Like, lights out they start making out. She puts his coat over their laps and I wonder if I'm going to have to ask them to please stop because I know where your hand is, girl. After a while I realize she's crying and he's consoling/sucking her face. Then lights come on and they are chatting about russia/politics and I see her shirt says marxist.com and her phone screensaver is a sickle and hammer. At this point I bury my nose in my book (I got through all 300 pages on that leg!) before I get a call for an interview with Mr. Mueller.

Only in America

Hi, welcome to the neighborhood. We've brought cookies!

Supposed to meet haircut killer so he can start work at 7. I show up at 6:40. Nothing. Get a text at 7:05 that he is grabbing some equipment and will be on way. So will be here at 8. If you are running an hour late, text earlier than that.

Why are you flying to Minneapolis? It’s only like a 4 hour drive.

We toured the University of Minnesota with my daughter Saturday morning. We were pretty impressed. The central campus is pretty similar to ISU but a bit more crowded and has a couple roads going through it. As we were leaving, we went to the parking ramp and were waiting for the elevator. The door opens and a couple is in there totally making out and doesn't realize the door is open for about 5 seconds. I decided my daughter can't go there.

Need a haircut because I'm looking like Doc from back to the future (just not white hair though). So I schedule a haircut. Needs to be soon because my barber is leaving for a couple weeks.

Need to change custom workers for a job and it turns out our meeting will land on my haircut so I have my son use my time because he needs one. Guy doesn't show right away so I call him. Bastard tells me he got halfway here and remembered that he had a haircut at 20 minutes before mine was scheduled and since his barber will be gone for a couple weeks ( guess we go to the same one) he needed to get there. Now what, barber is full and I may have to grab the clippers out.

I solved that problem long ago -- I've cut my own hair for probably 15 years now, except Wifey-Poo trims up the back and my neck. Clipper attachment #2 FTW!

Went there for grad school, so really only had classes in a couple buildings but the central campus is similar to ISU. Lived in Eagan and commuted to school. I did find an awesome job through the campus job board. My boss believed in paying students really well, I had my own office for most of my 2 years there, and she was able to get me a parking pass in their office building lot. There was a campus shuttle that stopped right outside my work and took me over to where my classes were. Sometimes I claim the U of M as my alma mater, especially when they beat the Hawkeyes.

MrsWx is debating going back to school for nursing and do that after the kids are in school. Thought we could just pay cash since she would probably go to KWood thinking it would be like $1k a semester. Damn I am naive.

You could have taken a Greyhound and gotten waaaay better stories than that. Hell, they even have a section of the bus specifically reserved for handjobs and masterbation. They call it "inside".

Weekend trip?? Was thinking a quick trip across town.

Note to self, if I very meet cooler, don't shake the hand he leads with.

@cyrocksmypants here's someone you can trade clipper stories with.

I was thinking Russian mail order bride, but I'm usually wrong on things like this.

ahem, could I interest you in looking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison? I even got my friends who went to the University of Minnesota to say it's "pretty nice"
