Today is already off to a bad start. I was buying some coffee this morning at the cafe at work and the cashier was pulling the register closer to herself. She said "If I don't pull the register close, I'll get back pain". To which my sluggish brain replied "That's good". And she looks at me quizzically and asks "What's good? Back pain?"...apparently my inflection was off and those pesky dangling modifiers get me in trouble once again. Reeling from the unexpected early morning offensive, my caffeine-less brain went on a three minute mumbling mess of a conversation about how workplace ergonomics are important and that everyone should be aware of their bodies and how our work affects it....blah, blah, blah. Ugh. I should have said "Yes, I wish you horrible horrible back pain. I subscribe to Schadenfreude (pleasure at others pain)."
Why is my background color gray? (is it "gray" or "grey"? I'm having all sorts of trouble today....and that rhymes, sweet). It's because of this: in protest of Warner shutting down the Green Day mashup album "Dean Gray: American Edit". Like the "Gray Album" (Grey?), this remixes songs off "American Idiot" and is supposed to be great (haven't heard it yet...may never get to...but I LOVE the Gray Album).
