I go to CVS. All I want is some milk. A lousy gallon of 1% milk. I am leaving the store, walking at a leisurely pace, when I somehow sidle up to the wall next to the door and graze it as I am leaving.

Why? Why could I not avoid walking into the wall like that? As I approached the door, I did not think to myself, let me make sure I get nice and snuggly with the wall. No, I was gazing at the middle of the door, thinking I could walk through the nice wide open space. (Actually, I was thinking about my music video walk, but more on that later) Instead, I bump into the wall.

I do ths all. The. Time. Seriously, I do it all the time. I bump into people, places and things at every opportunity. I even started making a joke about it at work, because not a shift goes by that I don't burn my hands with soup, since I am incapable, apparently, of using a ladle without spilling it on myself.

As I was leaving CVS, I thought to myself, "Self, you are not graceful." It was a weird not!revelation. You know the kind - you always knew it was true and may have admitted it to yourself in the past, but as you think it, the revelation still manages to shock you. I have always been a klutz and I have always pretty much known it, but not very often do I think to myself that as a natural corrolary to being a klutz, I am not a graceful person.

Sad to have such a not!revelation when indulging in the music video walk. You know what I am talking about. But, if you are one of those people who pretends not to understand, I shall explain.

The music video walk is the recurring fantasy in which you are in a video. This can happen at any time. You walk to the fridge, and imagine yourself in a video, looking demure, slutty, or however you imaging your video, and flouncing about as the video vixen. The walk, however, can come in many forms.

The walk, in essence, is really just a variation on the winning an award scenario. Friends actually had an episode in which several of the characters admitted to having the award fantasy and some even gave their acceptance speeches. The video walk is also similar to the movie fantasy, where one pretends internally to be in a movie.

The fame fantasy comes in many forms, but I can say confidently that pretty much everyone has them, except, perhaps, the famous people. They probably have regular Joe fantasies, instead:-)

So, tell me I am crazy and that you have never done that. Tell me that when I was leaving CVS and my head was viewing myself walking the music video walk, that I was the only person to have ever done this. Tell me youhave never imagined yourself in some very high profile scenario.

I will tell you that you are a very unimaginative and boring stupidhead.

Just a little bit on other news for the day. This would be the obligatory daylog portion of the entry. I shall return to my usual rants about politics shortly, when I feel like putting the effort in.

The 24 marathon started at midnight last night until midnight tonight. I was lucky enough to get the entire thing on tape. This show is my new crack. Every single episode has a tension level I have never seen on television before. Rather, every episode maintains the tension with such precision, it is entirely new. The tension evel in each episode reminds me of the tension level in the movie 28 Days Later, which is a fantastic fucking movie, I might add. If you have not yet seen the show 24, I highly suggest renting the first season from your local video store. Blockbuster has it, though I am unsure who else does. The second season comes out on DVD on the 9th.

In other news, work was just...wow! today. Mondays are usually great, because of the crab leg specials we run and with it being the end of a holiday, I thought we would surely be busy. I got to work and found myself scheduled to work the patio. Normally, this is a good thing, because in decent weather, the patio is always packed. Today, however, the weather was gloomy, damp, drizzly and slightly chilly.

We have outdoor heaters out there and the patio is covered, but no one would sit out there. Then we hoped that it would get so busy inside, that people would be forced to sit outside. That did not happen, either.

We got one table outside today (three scheduled out there, but one moved inside to cover the section of a no-show, so we were down to two working the patio). The one table happened to be an employee who specifically requested to sit in my section, because she is a good friend of mine. Essentially, she was a pity table.

She left and we were bored. We cleaned, dicked around, and found ways to look productive without really doing anything strenuous. We did busy work to pass the time. My manager sent me to the store to buy chocolate syrup, since we had nothing better to do. Then we finally got sent home. I was only on the clock for about three hours. I made enough to get a beer for me and the coworker who literally had no tables.

I don't care that much, though. In actuality, it was sort of fun.

Ok, I think I am done with this incredibly long entry about nothing.
