Day 44: Conceived a new band name

I was thinking up new band names and this is what I came up with:

Vulgrant

It's a combination of 'vulgar' and 'vagrant' or 'vulgar' and 'tyrant'.

I'm pretty sure no one else has ever come up with it, or at least used it, because it doesn't show up on google. All I see is a bunch of 'Virginia University of Lynchburg Grant' pages.

I don't play any instruments or anything, and I'm not as good of a singer as I think I am, so I don't have much use for it.

It would be perfect for a deathcore band or a black metal band or a grindcore band. If you want to use it that's fine. If you use it and your band never does much I'll just settle for a 'Thanks' in your liner notes, but if you use it and your band becomes like 'Cannibal Corpse' or something then I would just appreciate it if you gave me like $100,000 (depending on how rich you become, you could just give me like $10,000 if you only become moderately rich, like 'Kataklysm' or even like a couple hunskies if you just barely make some money, like 'As Blood Runs Black'.

Or you could even just name a song 'Vulgrant.' If you were a poor band and you did that I would just settle for a mention in your liner notes, and a few giftcards, like $25 gift card to Target and maybe a $25 gift card to Chick-fil-A should do it. Maybe just throw in a $50 gas card if you get your economic stimulus check and you name a song Vulgrant.

Day 43: Finished off a roll of tooth floss

Hey if my dentist is out there reading, hey look, I actually am flossing, hey, no. Hey, and sorry about that last check bouncing, no, hey, a new one is in the mail no, hey, but I hope you're Lew Alcindor cause this one is going to be bouncing like a basketball too, hey, hey no.

Now I can move onto the floss I got as a stocking stuffer for Christmas.

Day 42: Updated the software on my phone


The keyguard used to be 'OK 'OK'. You didn't have to pause or anything in between, so it went off about five times a day in my pocket, and sometimes at about 3 a.m., which was usually awkward. Now the keyguard is 'OK' 'OK' 'CLR' so it should only go off about three times a day.

The phone was supposed to be capable of updating its software over the network, but they never enabled the feature, so I had to go into the Verizon store. The guy said it would take about 15 minutes, but it took over 30 minutes and I didn't have a magazine or anything so I had to sit there like some dope waiting.

All these people were coming in like 'how do I get ringback mp3 tones to play through my BlueTooths technologies earpiece?'

Day 39: Worked in a booth


My job pays $20 an hour to sit in some booth at a festival. It's some good money on the side to just sit there like a dumb trained baboon.

We have little notepads and crap for people to take, and everyone approaches all suspicious looking and you go 'Hi how's it going?' and they're like 'Fine thanks.' all curt, like 'what are you going to try to sell me?' and I'm thinking 'I'm not trying to sell anything I'm just trying to stand here for three hours and then leave.' and then all sheepish they're like 'can I take one of these?' or 'are these for free?' and I'm like 'oh of course!' and they take it all giddy and walk away. They probably throw it away when they leave and realize how worthless it is. You'll be trying to have some office gossip about who's going to get laid off next and then some old lady will walk up and interrupt you.

I found myself saying 'there ya go...' about a hundred times, cause people would go 'oh I can use this notepad for my desk at work' or 'oh my granddaughter will love this' and I would say 'there ya go.' I was sure happy when I got to leave. It was hard acting phony for that long.

Day 38: Supped upon a Taco Bell Platter

I got the Spicy Chicken Enchiladas platter. I had to work all day and at like 1 a.m. I was tired and starving and I really just wanted to shove some food down my throat so I could start drinking whiskey. I wanted something that was hearty and good and still open, so I went to Taco Bell and I saw these platters, and I was like 'Now I can have a classy fiesta.'

This 'FourthMeal' came with nankins, a plastic knife, a spork (individually wrapped), and packets of hot sauce, and it came in a lovely display case.
There was a thing of very chunky salsa, it had like whole stewed tomatoes in it, and what seemed like six chips. It seemed like there was no way there would be enough chips, but each one dug up a ton of stewed tomatoes, and some of the chips slid under the enchilada case, so it was plenty of chips. The rice was regular old rice, what the hell am I gonna say. I sprayed some hot sauce on there. These refried beans with cheese melted all over them was a nice touch. I ate it all up and used the chip crumbs to sop up the rest. The enchiladas were pretty good, I liked how they put sour cream on there. I tried cutting them with the spork but it didn't cut through the chicken very good. I should have used the knife, but in my fervor I never even unwrapped it. All in all I would rate this platter 7 out of 10. The next image should reveal how satisfied I was with it.In the interest of full disclosure I shall reveal that I also ordered a 99 cent double beef burrito and ate it on the car ride home, and my large drink with the value meal was a sweet tea.
