Mondays are fired.

[jessipsaloquitur]

Man. Why do we even bother with this day? Seriously. Wouldn't the calendar be much more pleasant if we fired Mondays and instead had...oh, I don't know. Some other day that wouldn't involve a full day of work. Maybe a transition day from weekend to work week that involved only a few hours telecommuting in the early afternoon so that you could sleep in and work could be done in your PJs! This type of Modified Monday could work for me. *nods*

Alas. No Modified Monday for me. Instead I was at the office at 6:30 IN THE OMG SO FUCKING EARLY MORNING! *rubs sleep from eyes* Then it was to court. Again. And annoying clients who seem to forget that I was the one who went to law school, while they were the ones who broke the damn law. Therefore, the legal strategies are MINE to make. *grumbles* And, if that wasn't enough to make this Monday completely sucktastic. I somehow managed, while sitting at my desk and not engaging in any obviously dangerous activity, to SLICE MY FINGER OPEN. It bled all over my laptop and my files. And it hurt! Ouch! It's finally stopped bleeding and I have it bandaged, but trying to type with 9 fingers is no fun at all.

So, yeah. If I could, I'd fire this damn day.

But the weekend? The weekend is a keeper! Saturday was spent in a whirlwind of activity getting ready for a surprise 60th birthday party for my aunt. The surprise was a success. As was the party, which involved lots of yummy food, loud music, more alcohol than was probably wise, and about two dozen of assorted family members crammed into my living room watching ASU take Cal and Game 3 of the World Series.

After all the cleaning and cooking for the party and then the party itself with the drinking and the late night, yesterday was purposefully lazy. My brother and my niece came over and we spent endless hours watching sports on television. Unfortunately, my brother does not have the same appreciation for Tom Brady's ass as I do. So, my frequent exclamations over the perfectness of said ass were not well received. My niece, though, will grow up with a much more developed appreciation of both the game and, ahem, the players' talents. I consider it my duty as Aunt. *nods*

Also, kudos to the Boston Red Sox!!! It may not have been much of a series, but Game 4 sure as hell turned into a good game. Speaking of that win, has Papelbon reprised his riverdance yet? Someone needs to point me to that video when it happens. *g*

So, where were we? Monday sucks. Check. The weekend rocked. Check. The week ahead? There's work. But there's always work. The GOOD NEWS for this week is that on Sunday technosage and I are heading to L.A. for some time with the Hookers and to catch Steve Carlson and Jason Manns play!!! YAY!!! \o/ I'm thinking that if we time our drive right we can be in L.A. in time to watch the Patriots/Colts game. Again...YAY!!!

Anything else? Oh, yes. Apparently the weekend involved some wank and some more wank about the wank. *shakes head* It's strangely comforting that fandom will always involve some element of CRAZYCAKES. You know, kinda like that one family member who's on crack or perving on the teenage cousins or who forgot to take his meds and is in the corner talking to his spoon? Absolutely INSANE, but the family just wouldn't be the same without him. Then again, maybe it's just MY FAMILY that has this kind of crazy. *facepalm* Anyway, my point is, I think, that fandom just wouldn't be the same without the CRAZY. *g*

I could get on-board with this Modified Monday plan...

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Right. It would totally work. Plus, it would be an environmentally friendly plan. As soon as I figure out how to rule the universe, Modified Mondays will be the first item on the agenda. *nods*

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Can Jared becoming my love slave be the second item on your list?

I mean, if I'm going to be friends with the ruler of the universe, there should be BENEFITS!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

I'm a firm believer in nepotism when it comes to things like making hot boys into personal love slaves. *g*

*makes note on agenda...Item #2: Jared to be declared Wendy's personal love slave*

[wendy.livejournal.com]

I love you.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

I obviously love you too..A LOT, since, as soon as I rule the universe, I'm declaring Jared your personal love slave instead of mine. *g* MWAH!

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking that if we time our drive right we can be in L.A. in time to watch the Patriots/Colts game. Again...YAY!!!

OMG YES YES YES PLEASE YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, Brenda & I are planning on hitting El Guapo for the game (probably early to get a good table since the place fills up FAST on Sundays), and you know that you & Allie are more than welcome to join us. *g*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Eeeee!!!! I somehow figured you two would be camped out at El Guapo on Sunday. *g* If we leave early enough, we can be there by noon. So, we'll definitely be there! YAY!!!!! :D

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we're thinking about getting there around 11ish and hopefully being able to snag a good table. There are only 2 other games on opposite the Pats/Colts (though one of 'em IS the Seahawks), so chances are good the game will be on more than just 2-3 TVs. *crosses fingers*

OMG CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Ok. I've talked Allie into leaving at the ASSCRACK OF DAWN so that we can be there in time for the game!!! \o/

IT NEEDS TO BE SUNDAY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

Wank? AGAIN?? *sigh* Oh, fandom.

I could totally use "sleep in" Mondays, Greg was out of town this weekend so it was just me and the boy. Who I completely adore but you know, TIRED. I think I'm going to have to insist someone drink a ridiculous girly drink for me this weekend since I can't be there. Extra points if it's green :D

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know. I usually end up seeing the wank about the wank on my flist...which is just as insane, if you ask me. Whatever. The 4th!!!!! We'll definitely have one in your honor! I can't promise it'll be green, though. Those margaritas were kinda of scary. *g*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Tom Brady's ass is in serious need of praising at ALL times. As is Jon Papelbon doing pretty much anything at all. *g*

YOU NEED TO GET HERE IN TIME FOR THE GAME OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Tom's ass is certainly WORTHY of continuous praise and accolades. Damn. Just damn. And I kinda love Jon Papelbon's crazy mix of INSANITY and HOTNESS a lot. It works for me. As does his ass-grabbyness. *g*

Also, YES!!! We're definitely going to be there in time for the game even if I have to drag Allie out of bed at o'dark thirty in the morning!!! :D

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

I think I could watch Tom Brady play GOLF, no lie.

Also, Jon needs to make a sex tape. For the good of the world.

And Sabrina's invited you guys to her birthday dinner on Saturday night, so if you want to come up Saturday & need a place to crash, you can stay here at Casa Hooker. :)

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

Jon needs to make a sex tape with me. For the good of, um, ME!

So does Tom. Just sayin'.

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like you'd let your naked ass be taped... *g*

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

Dude, if they're the ones doing the sexing??

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

You STILL wouldn't do it. *g*

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

PFFFFFFFFFFFT!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

I love you, baby, but I don't want to see you in sex tape. Also, you just gotta share Jon and Tom with the world. *g*

[idiosyncratic.livejournal.com]

Now who said I was going to SHARE the sex tape? *g* I'm happy to share them, though.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Tom Brady doing ANYTHING so long as there are frequent ass shots!

And, yes, the world NEEDS a Jon Papelbon sex tape!

Aw man. Thank you for the Casa Hooker invite. I wish we could make Sabrina's dinner on Saturday, but I don't think we'll be able to leave that early. But we will definitely be there early enough on Sunday to watch the game with you!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!!!

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

YAYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, boo that you can't make it on Saturday, but YAYE FOR SUNDAY OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ladymairwen.livejournal.com]

Monday is a horrible way to spend 1/7th of your life. *grin*

Yay, wank!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

1/7th of our lives is Monday. *sigh* That's so depressing.

[ladymairwen.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just? Here's hoping your Tuesday goes better.

[mysanal.livejournal.com]

*icon love!* LOL!

[ladymairwen.livejournal.com]

Ain't it fabulous?

[annkiri.livejournal.com]

hi Jess! I feel like I had a lot more to say, but it's now gone.

So, hi! I miss you! I wish I was going to LA to hang with the hookers! *sniffles*

Have fun!

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Hi, baby!!! I miss you too!!! We'll have a drink in your honor on Sunday! *g*

[editorzon.livejournal.com]

I'm on-board with Modified Mondays. Where do I sign the petition to get it passed into law?

Glad you had a good weekend baby, can't wait to see you and Allie on the 4th! *clutches*

I too, want the Riverdancing video if such a thing exists, it would really perk my Monday right up.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Modified Mondays would totally work for me too. As soon as I figure out how to rule the universe, we'll totally make this happen. *g*

OMG!!! IT NEEDS TO BE SUNDAY ALREADY!!!!!! :D

[mysanal.livejournal.com]

I obviously need to watch football with you some time this season. ;-D
