Catchin’ Up
Still no computer. Still no word on when I’ll have it again. In the meantime, over the rainy 3 day weekend, I watched loads of judo on television (and some fun “pressure study” quiz shows), created 3 or 4 new Miis on my Wii - and then made 2 of them pros at tennis and one of them a pro at baseball, started into space for long stretches, and cleaned a bit - 7 loads of laundry and 2 floors down, no laundry and 2 floors to go. It was…blah. I did meet up with my buddies for Okonomiyaki twice, though. That was a treat. We were discussing ticket options for Universal Studios Japan. The website is really…unintelligible. In English and in Japanese. They really need to rethink their system. Anyhoo - looking forward to a few trips now. I’ve got Kyoto this weekend, Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion in October, and USJ in October, too. October is going to kill me, laugh about it, and tell stories about it to its grandkids afterward.
Anyway, having no internet access means I can’t participate in some of the more meaningful things in life. For instance, I completely missed Clay’s anagram post. How cool is that? Clay always has the cool internet memes. Remember the brain contents meme? My coworkers were running each others names through it this morning - they were mighty impressed when I showed that that I’d already done it. Cutting edge memery (is that a word?) there, Clay. Anyway, Alex responded with a post of his own, and I feel like doing a mini response here. (By the way, Alex gets about 4 cool points for running Tom Marvolo Riddle through the anagram server just to check, and another 60 for pointing out that it can also be “Immortal Dove Lord.” Brilliant.)
Using my full name (without the Roman numeral IV on the end), I think the coolest was this: A Sandman Chiding Snorer. Ha ha ha. There are those who call me narcoleptic. I just say I have sudden onset of naptime on occasion. But I do enjoy sleep. In second place came: A Grandma Chords Ninnies. Cause it just sounds funny. Third place: A Chairman Sends Droning. That’s more descriptive of my job - especially conferences, than it is of me. When you put my full legal name in, Deas Manning Richardson IV, you get slightly different results. Lots of hotel type names, actually. None of which I’d like to stay at. Anyone up for staying at “A Cadaver’s Shindig Morn Inn” or “A Massacred Diving Horn Inn?” I’m not even sure what the second one means, but ha ha - whew. If you want to make your own anagrams, hit this site and do it. Then post about it.
