Not so deep thoughts

I have no clue what to write about tonight, so I'm just going to start typing. I'll see what comes out.

At work tonight, we started a new system for the specialists to answer questions. We used to have bankers call the helpline and the helpers were at their desks. Now we have a system involving pagers and we walk around the floor, answering the pages and questions. I got quite a workout today! I'm happy about the 3 1/2 hours of running around I did tonight. I'm tired, but energized at the same time.

I'm still excited to go to karaoke on Sunday night. I can barely think of anything else. When I got to work today, Adam had emailed me asking how last Sunday went. I guess he didn't read the post. I told him about the song and my thoughts on it. Of course, I smiled while remembering the events of the night.

I don't have any immediate assignments due for statistics and this is a good thing. I should work ahead and not kill myself over this up-coming weekend. I get four days off in a row and I'm thrilled. I'm going out to dinner with my dad and Dana on Sunday, then to karaoke. I don't know what I have planned for Monday or Wednesday, but I'm going to dinner with my mom and her boyfriend on Tuesday night. Her boyfriend is taking me to Manny's, a steakhouse here in the Twin Cities. (It's a birthday present.)

Some moron has been posting anonymous comments on Dana's blog. He called us fat. I'm so afraid. Man, I guess my chances with the random Internet guy are gone forever. *Rolling eyes.* I'm really curious if he's just into fat chicks, since he seems to keep coming back. Whatever. Dana knows she's got many fans and this guy is just a jerk. I feel sorry for him. I do. I'm not being funny here. The guy really has nothing better to do than to insult someone and doesn't have the guts to reveal his identity. He must be lacking something in his life, like great friends who care about him and actually care what he thinks.

I spoke to a woman who threatened to call Channel 9 today. She doesn't bank with NABABNA and her bank denied a fraud claim that she did. She must live in another state because Channel 9 isn't known for news around here.

A banker at work started singing part of "Tom's Diner" tonight and I had to laugh. This song has a lot of "doot doot doot"s in it. It gets caught in people's heads easily and the banker made a point about how to get songs out of your head. Anytime she gets a tune stuck in her head, she thinks of Mary Tyler Moore and the theme song from that show.

The theme song is actually called, "Love is All Around." It starts with, "Who can turn the world on with her smile?" Most people can't remember the rest and so the new song doesn't get stuck in their heads but it is recognizable enough to get rid of other songs.

I told her to write a thesis about her theory. Hey, I'd read it! *Smile*

I actually found the lyrics to this theme song and many other TV themes at: Theme Song Lyrics. I never thought I would search for this, but hey, it came in handy tonight.

Speaking of searches, I have a couple of random searches on how my blog was found. I enjoyed these.

The first search was: "Brian Wilson died" lyrics. I did a post once about this song by BNL and how people confuse the words.

The second search was: Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum costumes. I did a post about Halloween one year and the costumes my mom made. I'm sorry that I didn't have more information for this person. The costumes weren't that hard to make, I hope they find luck in either making their own or other sites that maybe they can purchase the costumes at.

One of the bankers on my team lent me a movie that he keeps talking about. It's Tears of the Sun. Has anyone seen this one? I think I'm going to cry when I watch it.

And really cool - Ed Wood was just released on DVD! I love this movie, don't ask me why. It's fun, silly, and just a joy to watch. I'm excited. I guess it came out yesterday.

That's all folks!

Hey, Beth. I am excited about karaoke as well! Yay, karaoke!

Trying to comment quick while I'm on lunch. It has been busy and I've not had a lot of time between calls. It is very sad.

Anyway, have fun with your workout at work. I'll try to post more either today or tomorrow.

I love Ed Wood, though the x-rated Rod wood did not have the same character developement.
