Earlier today we saw a practical demonstration of that old adage about not sending a picture of yourself to someone with Photoshop skills and a mean streak…especially if you’re sending the picture to said person as a means of taunting him with the fact that he’s stuck at work whereas you’ve left early and are enjoying your freedom in the outside world.
Okay, so maybe there isn’t actually an adage that says that, but the wisdom contained therein can still be applied to life.
Of course, taunting the others who are at work when you aren’t is a standard practice where Brian and I work, particularly on my part, but the fact that he sent a picture could not go unchallenged.
All and all, particularly considering how quickly I cranked it out, I’m pleased with how well the picture turned out, and there seemed to be a certain amount of providence involved in its creation, given that just last week I downloaded a bunch of pictures of guys for that D&D picture.
Of course, I did do some additional searching today, as, ideally, the picture would have featured a thong-clad male dancer, legs spread wide, about to “teabag” Brian (if you don’t know what that means, I’m not going to be the one to tell you), but unfortunately I couldn’t find a suitable image.
Still, I think it all worked out.
Prior to creating a homoerotic image of one of my co-workers this morning I went for my standard four-mile walk and also talked to my mother.
It’ll be another two weeks before my dad can drive, and since my mother doesn’t drive that means that they’ve been spending a lot of time at home, without much to do. In summing things up, my mother said “I don’t have any news because I haven’t been doing anything. My life is starting to be like yours.”
As if my life, or lack thereof, were the gold standard against which all other uneventful lives are judged.
And okay, maybe it is, but I do…stuff. Sure, my life’s not terribly exciting, but look at all of the things I did today.
After getting off the phone with my mom and making the picture I called Scott (who, by the way, had suggested that we post Brian’s picture to “Hot or Not” when we got it yesterday) so that I could tell him to check out the picture, then I called Kathleen to tell her to look at the picture of her hubby on Threshold, and finally I headed out to do some grocery shopping.
When I got home I went for another four-mile walk.
So I mean, that’s a lot of stuff to do in a day, right?
…
I know, I know; my life blows. And it’s hardly as though that’s a newsflash for me, but it’s still a little depressing to think that my life is less eventful than the lives my senior citizen parents are accustomed to living…
When I went for my second walk I found myself sweating more than I probably ever have in my life outside of a sauna. I was totally drenched and dripping by the time I made it home.
Just sitting around typing this I’m doing a fair amount of sweating, as it’s just that hot and muggy here.
Despite the heat, though, I am actually going to spend some time in the kitchen. Fortunately, I got the recipe from “30 Minute Meals,” as I’ve taken to watching Food Network again recently, so I shouldn’t be in the (additional) heat too long.
In any case, I think I’ll get started on my dinner. I’m sure I’ll be back later, as, after all, I have less to do with my time than people in their 60s and 70s do…
