me: But, I mean, it’s not even just old age. A person can die at any time!

him: Yeah I heard that somewhere.

Smartass.

This seemed important at the time

I think I had just remembered they existed and wanted to make a note not to forget.

Digging

I was digging through photos and found this gem:


I think it just about sums everything up.

An odd sort of druggie.

This one I’m intrigued by.

Furnish room w/ drug rep medication promotional goodies

I wasn’t sure how to phrase that at 2:46 am. In fact, I’m still no sure how to phrase it.

But I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. If you’ve ever been to a psychiatrist’s office- or at any doctor's office, it seems- you’ve seen them. Seroquel pens. Clarinex clocks. Viagra tissue
boxes. (Think about it a second. Got it? Yeah.)

These objects inexplicably tickle me and I'm incredibly drawn to the idea of collecting a whole range of such ridiculous objects. True, most of them are pens. But occasionally, you come across such a rare beauteous gem as this:

A Paxil CR Floaty USB Mouse.

There's fake pills floating around in the bottom part of the mouse! How cool is that?!

The only way this drug rep promotional goodie could be goodier would be if they were real pills. It could be your pillbox!




Sadly, when I came across this item on Ebay, it came with the news that drug rep promotional items as of Jan 1, 2009, are no longer being distributed. It didn't go into detail, and I haven't been able to dig up any more information on it, so I'm not relying to much on that one source, especially since they're attempting to sell me something. At any rate, if it's true, I'm very saddened by this possibility. Those kitschy, over-the-top items were always my favorite part of so many doctors visits.

Well, I suppose I now have a mission. I don't just want to collect pens, but it may come down to that. Ebay has a plethora of promotional pens. But I know that occasionally I'll come across a goodie as goodeous (new word, trying it out) as the Paxil floaty mouse.

If I could find a Viagra tissue box I could die happy.

That would be my holy grail.

This one makes me curious

Sleepy texts

Lately I’ve been texting myself in the middle of the night.

Aside from my pillows, blankets, and lamp, I go to bed with two things within my reach—a book and my cell phone.

Most of the day I don’t make any effort to jot down my ideas. It’s only when I’m half asleep, that my ideas are crazy enough and my confidence is limber that I feel compelled to hold on to my thoughts. Of course, it’s also important to realize that I’m on the brink of sleep and will no doubt lose my idea if I don’t record it.

So I reach over, grab my cell and text myself a little note.

Here are some of the things I’m texted to myself:

Crap as shit.

Feet up eye down legs up hair down sitting in a rocking chair. fresh horns
