Returned to sender

Must...break...livejournal cycling...

It was inevitable that, after posting about my father's and brother's foibles, one of my own would soon come to light. The other night, I found a returned letter in my mailbox. Puzzled, I kept examining the address for some sign of why it didn't make it to its destination. Then it struck to me: That's my city, state, and Zip Code on the envelope, not that of an East Coast bank.

DUH!

I'd still like to point out that it took a week for my local post office to determine that a street address within the local zip code does not exist.

I can be superficial, too!

I just found out I will have to delay my lunch because the Ecology of Design students are coming. (More on that once I can ridicule them based on direct experience instead of reputation and projection.) I have a little time to kill before they get here, so let me kill it on LJ.

First of all, I finally added some new people to my Friends list. I generally delay this as long as possible, as I don't want any drama from Friending someone and then deFriending them. foodpoisoningsf is an exception. Something tells me I've been seeing comments from him for months, but I didn't really take notice until the icon of him in chef's whites appeared. Now I am smitten! However, I did check out his last twenty entries to ascertain that the content/survey ratio was outrageously high before adding him, so it's not like I'm totally shallow!

Second, who can tell me what the source was for the extended travel montage homage in last night's Simpson's? It was so evocative, yet I cannot place it!

Another thing one notices from watching Fox's Sunday Night lineup for the first time in months and months: David Anthony Higgins has lost hella weight, hasn't he? Also, although I sorely miss the eye candy from Francis' logging camp days, the scenery on the ranch is looking up.

Between No Doubt covering Talk Talk and Jessica Simpson covering Berlin, it's like the music of my youth is back and more mediocre than ever!

Edit: Holy crap! I have to discover, through perusing a stranger's Friend list, that my first ex is on liveJournal and has been for more than a year? People, I rely on you to keep me informed!
