At Balding Angrily, we get lots of letters asking us to mention them on the show. Kids, the best way to get mentioned is to give me things or tell me you were thinking of me in some way.
So a month ago, Angela (winrit) gave me a mixtape. It’s Latin-infused. She’s a ballroom dancer, and apparently that’s given her a taste in Portuguese sambas. Or mambos. Or whatever they are.
Shortly after, Jon sent me Finding Nemo and the book to Company, a couple of things that were on my Amazon wishlist. I read through Company that very night, and I watched Finding Nemo on my iPod on a slow day at work. Shh. Don’t tell anyone.
I knew of a fella on the boards that had a handsome pup as his avatar, but I didn’t know Jon before I got the package. Thanks, Jon.
Jen-An and Owen gave me a photo of Cyndi Lauper with a trombone with my face taped over hers. That was, um, disturbing. Very, very disturbing. I acted strangely insulted, and then Jen-An said, “Oh please. We all know that you like when someone goes out of the their way to make something for you.” Yeah. I had to admit that it was very sweet. She also called me a puppy, a bulldog puppy. Then she did an imitation of a puppy with a grumpy face, stomping around with a harumph. I hate her.
Finally, Lynch just sent me a song I’ve never heard and called it the unofficial Balding Angrily theme song. He said that whenever this song is on the radio, he thinks of Balding Angrily. Please, people. Don’t think of Balding Angrily while you’re driving. It makes me think that you don’t have a life. If you’re driving around thinking of these degraded ramblings, you really, really need to seek help.
The song is Mika’s “Grace Kelly.” I can’t upload it because Wordpress is forbidding it. If I can I’ll write down the lyrics. The singer sounds like Freddy Mercury, and he’s singing about how he can be anything you want him to be if you just love him. I can see that as being perfect for Balding Angrily.
-Update-
Lynch posted the YouTube of the video for “Grace Kelly” on Watch This Vid.

I thought of you the other day when I was at work. A customer got a little too close when asking a question, and the word miasma flashed across my brain. It took a couple of seconds for me to actually register why, and my internal laughter really helped deal with the initial repulsion.

I hate smelly co-workers. I was training a guy on a cash register in high school, so we had to be in a small space. I kept offering him mints through our training session. I don’t think he took the hint.

I have been working in the architectural(?) section of the state armory. I hope that not all architects are like the ones I’m working with. They are kinda scary. Though they do have the added benefit of being state employees. Then again, I’m a state employee as well…

How scary?

One of them said he was going to eat me. In like a Hansel and Gretel kind of way.

It’s fun to tease interns. We look through our tired eyes at your fresh ones, and we see an opportunity to infect you with incuriosity.
