Your work performance has been upgraded to substandard. Enjoy your vacation.
Lincoln Adams | September 30, 2009 @ 8:16 pmWell not quite yet, but I am kicking off October with a 5 day reprieve, to which the current forecast is predicting rain, rain, and more rain for 4 of those 5 days. Sigh.
Interesting day though, filled with Yankee Candles and pizza, two of my very favorite things in the world. 
The pizza came as a result of our new supervisor sucking up to us in the vain hope that showering us with free food would get us to look the other way while he’s prancing around in his office in his Superman undies, but also for catching up on some work and like, stuff.
I had to do THE RUN this week, so I went out to grab an unmarked car from fleet, only… there was no car.
“There’s no car left at all? ALL of them were signed out??”
“Yep, and there’s one missing too.”
“….what do you mean it’s missing?”
“It’s just, gone. Nobody knows where it is.”
“Dude what am I supposed to do? I need a car.”
“Can’t you walk?”
I muttered something about his mother, then walked out again. I ended up taking my car, placed an official decal on my dash, and basically had a ball breaking as many moving violations as I could while I did the run. You haven’t quite lived until you’ve jumped the curb outside some official government building and parked on the grass just so you can be right next to the door. I swear this is how it should always be.
Just don’t drive really fast or you might upset the security guards when they come running out half scared that you were about to kamikaze the building in an attempted terrorist attack. Have to remember that for next time.
Since I was already out and about I decided to take a slight detour to say, the mall, and spent about 30 minutes or so sniffing Yankee candles, before deciding on some fall harvest candles that should keep me sufficiently ensconced in the scents of Autumn until Thanksgiving. 
Speaking of harvest, I’m planning to go out as far east as I can possibly muster this Sunday (easily a 4 hour drive), so I can watch the harvest moon unobstructed as it rises from the east. I should be surrounded by ocean then so it should make for some snap-worthy scenery, but, meh. I always plan things like this and then I start getting depressed because I’m going out alone and as such I’m never able to share these tender moments with someone sporting bouncy boom-booms.
In any event, it will probably rain anyway, so instead I’ll likely veg out in front of the computer and immerse myself in Nancy Drew game playing. Either way, a good way to spend a nice, extended weekend if you ask me.

All the news that’s fit to never read again
Lincoln Adams | January 6, 2009 @ 1:09 amIt’s getting to be that the only news I’m willing to read are the latest DVD releases from Netflix. Because everytime I flip on a TV or check the Drudge Report I see exactly the kind of nightmarish things I never want to see even if it was being safely played out in some cheap pulp fiction novel.
And what’s the point really? Am I going to somehow make the world a better place just by being cognizant of the fact that Stuart Smalley could be a U.S. senator? And I’ll tell you something too, if Satan was gay, he’d look just like Al Franken.
And what about Israel’s counterattack on Gaza for what seems like the bazoolionth time, which is all their fault of course, because those darned Israelis just won’t let Hamas enjoy the fun of repeatedly firing rockets at them.
Then there’s the pending Obamunist Administration already mired in scandal and corruption about to take over and do God only knows what to this country for the next four years.
Meanwhile the media is preoccupied with Obama’s daughter and her first day at school, because you know, that’s the most important thing happening in the world right now.
I’m done with the news. Seriously. Ignorance is bliss after all, and I”ll be much happier sticking my fingers in my ears and playing Nancy Drew games until the Rapture comes.

I have decided to be a man…
Lincoln Adams | October 18, 2008 @ 2:18 pm… by running away from all my problems.
The last few days I’ve been following up on the latest political news, which I realize tends to put me in a violent, must-eradicate-all-liberals-on-Earth kinda mood. The last straw were all the personal attacks on Joe The Plumber, whose unforgiveable sin it seems had been that he asked a question.
But then I realized that despite spending so many hours reading up on the news, being well informed doesn’t really do anything for me except raise my blood pressure. See, I’m a guy who has no absolutely impact on anything that happens in the world, so why bother getting upset over things that I cannot possibly ever change? Indeed, the only thing I CAN change is myself. So I have decided to do just that… by withdrawing completely from reality and pursuing an escapist lifestyle where I can remain blissfully ignorant of everything that’s happening in the world.
I can see the wisdom now of barricading myself in my room with nothing but my desktop PC, a bundle of Netflix DVDs, a few bags of Tostitos and some cheese dip. I’d remove all the political/news feeds from my feedreader, lock out all the news channels on TV, then completely immerse myself in playing massive multiplayer games online (or perhaps my favorite Nancy Drew mystery games.) If I have a hankering for something more than chips, I can always order from Papa John’s and have them slide the pizza under my door.
Who says I don’t know how to enjoy life??

I want to join Netflix, does that make me an anti-social geekball?
Lincoln Adams | October 3, 2008 @ 10:43 pmI’m getting a little tired these days of stopping by Blockbuster and looking up and down and left to right for movies they never have, not to mention having to put up with adorable looking couples sassing each other and being so happy together that I just want to start lobbing DVD boxes at them for daring to pollute my air with their irritating public displays of affection. Just die, please.
Truth be told though, I rarely go to Blockbuster nowadays, opting instead to grab up DVDs at my supermarket, which has a Redbox Machine. But even that’s become an aggravating chore lately. Nothing quite puts me in the mood to wreak death and destruction upon mankind then having to wait behind somebody who takes their sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ass time checking the Redbox listings while I loudly tap my foot and check my watch, knowing I’ll have to pay a dollar more if I can’t jam my DVD back in there within the next three minutes.
“BITCH GET THE F*&^ OUT OF THE WAY I GOT TO RETURN THIS THING BEFORE 9PM CAN”T YOU SEE THAT DAMMIT TO HELL!?!?!”
So yeah, I think RedBox has pretty much lost its appeal as well. Solution? Netflix!! 
But as I surfed the site and prepared to sign up, a thought occurred to me: am I being too antisocial here?
It seems the more I go out there and run into the scum sucking, methane ripping porkbags otherwise known as the human race, the more I want to stay home and have everything including my groceries mail-ordered to me instead. Then I can just hide under the bed with my laptop and my Tostitos and play Nancy Drew games until the end of the world comes, which should be oh, shortly after people realize the bailout didn’t do zippy dinks to save the economy and The Great Depression Part 2: Obama Takes Us To Hell officially gets under way.
But then I think, perhaps I’m being too harsh here? That maybe, just maybe, with a sincere effort to go out there and connect with other human beings I’d end up finding some who are not so rudely vile and disgusting after all, and maybe even attract a nice girl for once in my life?
Nah. Indiana Jones first ever DVD in my Netflix queue baby!! BOOYAH! Now where are my Tostitos…

Manly Enough to Buy Girlie Games
Lincoln Adams | April 15, 2008 @ 10:11 pmI went down to Best Buy the other day and grabbed the two latest Nancy Drew mystery games off the shelves (marked down too!), then made my way to the cashier.
The guy must have noticed how happy I was because he remarked dryly, “You must really like these games.”
“Um, they’re for my sister. It’s her birthday.”
“Sure.”
“She’s twelve,” I insisted.
“Sure.”
“Well, have a nice day,” I continued cheerily, then muttered under my breath, “…little snotnosed ball of pus.”
Ah well, two new games and I am happy as a clam… err, for my sister that is.
:D
