Things I learned while the wife was away
Thursday, May 29, 2008
In honor of Ellen's love for lists, and Aras' Do's and Dont's lists, I made a list of "things I learned while the wife was away" (said in a booming, echo'y voice):
1) Dish usage dropped 50%
2) So did dish cleaning
3) Strainers are best cleaned using the spray nozzle on the sink
4) The best furniture can be found on the sidewalks of Kensington
5) My childhood dog was put down (more to come on that)
6) The new Indiana Jones movie is about aliens. Skip it. Or at least get your drink on.
7) Wear sunscreen when biking
8) Special batteries are expensive and don't do jack for smoke detectors that won't stop beeping
9) It's easier to sleep when your smoke detectors aren't giving false alarms, but it's harder to sleep when you know all your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are very unplugged
10) Film is expensive and no one carries any

Vaiva used to tell me so many stories about that dog, commiserations my friend. I remember when we lost our childhood dog, she was with us from when I was in the third grade until my fourth year of university. I still look up clips of boxer dogs on YouTube. I'm sure your Fido will be in doggy heaven.
There's a separate heaven for dogs? That sucks. I mean, if my dog and I won't mean up in heaven, then that will suck, right? Like not paradise? You think dogs in heaven can talk?
oh, and when my wife is gone, my dish usage drops by way more than fifty %. i just keep reusing dirty dishes. come on, a plate's got some cheese melted onto it from nachos, so you can't put a sandwich on it? get outta here! that spoons got old yoghurt on it, so you can't use if for cherrios, or ice cream for that matter! come on!
maybe dogs can be in two heavens at once. never thought of that DID ya?
as for the dish usage....of course it drops by more than fifty percent. but don't let her know that.
