I do not do well when Left to My Own Devices. My Own Devices are badly in need of repair or replacement. Because people were paranoid about the RNC (which I'm not even gonna get into the ridiculousness of the "fear" pose adopted disingenuously by all manner of NYers who just wanted some days off) I got the week "off" to "work from home." Wa ha. The city was near-empty during the RNC, so I guess everybody's office made the same decision as mine. NYers have a serious allergy to Republicans, especially en masse, and we just freak out FREAK OUT if a group larger than a southern football team comes to town.
     But about my week of "working" from home. Here's what I worked on:
• Three PS2 blisters (thumb, thumb, right palm) which eventually became
• Three PS2 calluses. LAME!
     I also worked on my record for number of consecutive hours without leaving the house at all, which I think really got on the nerves of the Newest Roommate, who was actually working from home, and on a horrific marathon transcription of recordings from market research focus groups. They gave her a footpedal device to start and stop the tape, which clicked like an ominous arthropod from the other room, reminding me with every clacketyslick that maybe I could like get off the couch for a second and check the old email instead of mainlining HBO OnDemand like it was about to be taken away from me. I watched the televisual equivalent of Christmas Eve Dinner followed by whatever you eat on Christmas Day and then Christmas Dinner too. Imagine the pain of having eaten more rich food than your stomach can handle for four consecutive meals and that what my head felt like from watching so much Award-Winning HBO Original Programming. Fuck dude.
     These are my devices. I could have developed bedsores from the couch, too, because a week ago Sunday it was fucking tropical in the city so I turned on the Living Room's AC and when I got too tired to hold the remote or the PS2 controller, I just flopped the couch down into futon-mode and passed out in the chilly chill. Decadent, revolting. I think maybe some important muscle groups atrophied, too. I did eventually get out and socialize, but the damage was done. I'm got hermit marks on my love handles. Won't you come grab me and lift me from this pit?

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
