...as fast as typing allows.
1. I probably should have gone grocery shopping today.
2. Because what am I going to eat tomorrow?
3. And I probably should build up my food storage if I’m going to be laid off.
4. Probably should have done that a long time ago.
5. I hope I don't get laid off. I’m kind of irritated at people that borrowed beyond their means who contributed to the likelihood of me being laid off.
6. Though if I was laid off I could spend more time reading.
7. No I wouldn’t, I’d have to be sending out resumes and interviewing, which is probably my least favourite thing in the world to do.
8. Other than sleeping in airports.
9. Or getting up early in the cold.
10. I wonder if it would be easier or harder to get up if I wasn’t sleeping alone.
11. I hope my carpets are drying out ok.
12. I don’t want to wake up to mouldy carpets.
13. I still love Cliff the plumber, even if he contributed to the minor flood in my closet.
14. Mind a blank.
15. Chocolate.
16. Nah, not really hungry.
17. What is this song on my ipod?
18. I swear I don’t even recognise half the music on my ipod.
19. Does it make me pathetic that I’m spending Saturday night doing laundry and writing down my stream of consciousness thoughts?
20. I wish my stream of consciousness thoughts were a lot deeper.
21. I could cheat.
22. Nah.
23. I CHOSE to stay home tonight, anyway.
24. I was actually looking forward to it, and cleaning, and getting things together.
25. Not that I’ve accomplished all that I meant to.
26. But that’s a typical Saturday.
27. And the mini-flood didn’t help.
28. The temple open house was nice today.
29. The bride’s room chandeliers were tops.
30. And some nice paintings, though I saw the same prints repeated multiple times, 31. which makes me think the church needs a few more good artists.
31. Maybe I should have gone to art school after all.
32. Are you kidding me? Artists would be suffering even more from this economy.
33. My brother always said I should have been an engineer.
34. I still have hopes that Obama will help.
35. I have a crush on Obama, let’s face it.
36. Whoever it was who said it last night was right, Obama does sound like a first name.
37. President Obama. President Barack. President Obama.
38. Like Drs who say things like “I’m Dr. Dave,” to be all friendly.
39. Whereas I don’t really want a personal relationship with my doctor.
40. Really? Only 40?
41. I still can’t believe the customer service chick at t-mobile asked me what the difference between London and England was this morning.
42. Sometimes it would be nice to have a customer service call without having to give my life story.
43. But I guess it’s nice that they’re friendly.
44. I wonder if there’s a way to stop my ipod playing podcasts when it’s on shuffle.
45. And christmas music.
46. Ray Charles, that’s more like it.
47. I need more happy songs.
48. A-M was right, it’s difficult to write happy songs that aren’t about relationships. And aren't "What a Wonderful World."
49. I like Jess’s idea of having an imaginary enemy.
50. A nemesis. There’s an underused word. Also “vexed.”
51. My nemesis would have a black fedora, and...wait, I’m visualising Dick Cheney.
52. Can’t decide if my superpower would be flying or having extreme beauty. You could get a lot done with either.
53. Flying, for sure. Less emotionally complicated.
54. Agh, another hideous song.
55. When is apple going to develop themed shuffles depending on your mood. Not playlists that you have to pick yourself.
56. Because that’s way too much effort, and the joy of shuffle is the surprise.
57. I need to polish my shoes.
58. I need another Saturday.
59. Wonder when the next public holiday is? President’s Day? Did we already do that?
60. I like looking at the city at night.
61. It’s pretty dark tonight. But at least it’s clouds not smog.
62. I guess we Brits really do talk about the weather a lot.
63. Speaking, of, wouldn’t mind a cup of tea.
64. Must get an early night tonight.
65. Mustn’t forget to get up and meet Liz at the Spoken Word.
66. When apple has finished making the perfect computer, maybe they can move on to gene therapy and tweak my brain so that I start enjoying getting up early.
67. Lots of meetings tomorrow.
68. Crap, am I conducting?
69. No, that’s next week.
70. Can’t stand conducting. Always forget to announce at least one thing.
71. Even though it’s written on a piece of paper that’s right in front of me.
72. Must write thank you notes.
73. Right after this extremely important blog entry.
74. About three quarters of the way there.
75. And then I can read my book.
76. Which I’m quite enjoying.
77. (The Last Chinese Chef).
78. Work book group book.
79. Must get the other book group book, too, whatever it is. I think Heidi emailed it.
80. The title, not the book.
81. Haven’t really felt like reading, which is funny given that it’s been freezing outside and is perfect reading by the fire weather.
82. Except have no fire.
83. Maybe I could get one of those gas things.
84. Except have no gas.
85. And possibly no job, shortly.
86. Should probably buy food instead.
87. Great, am back to beginning.
88. Which would be a lot more poetic if this was item 100.
89. Could always go back and cheat.
90. Nope.
91. Blank mind.
92. Sad thought.
93. I totally agree with what Tiffany wrote about preferring to be in thirties than twenties.
94. Despite life stresses and occasional misery.
95. When you stay in on a Saturday night, you realise that no-one is emailing you. I thought my blackberry was broken for a while.
96. I do love my blackberry.
97. Must think less materialistic thoughts. Someone may still be reading.
98. Flowers.
99. Stars.
100. What a wonderful world.

100 Random Thoughts..

#19. I'm home reading blogs. Yah, I'd say we're both pathetic.
#41. People kept asking me how I liked living in London. I kept correcting them -- I was living in Oxford. This explains a lot.
#50. You're right. I should call Bob my nemesis.
#51. Ha ha ha ha.
#72. Oh crap. Me too.
#100. Amen.
It's now 11:00pm. Note I'm not in bed by 9:30. So much for that plan. Oh, and if you lose your job, you could try moving to Utah county. I'm sure you'd love it. And it would be handy to have you around to smack people for me. Think about it.
That was amazing! Have I said that I want to be Lena when I grow up? Hope you are doing well!
I absolutely loved reading this entry and I think the idea is great... I hope you do not loose your job!
I was still reading at #97, thank you very much, and I loved every single one of the random thoughts.
I was just thinking the same thing about iPod "mood shuffle" rather than totally random. All of my playlists are inadequate. And I think Dick Cheney makes a great nemesis.
Oh, and I'm totally going to use this idea on my blog. I would do it right now except that I have to go stir peas into my chicken and rice.
Fantastic post, but only good for bloggers who are naturally funny like you are. My humor requires premeditation, so I would have a lot of "Oh, look -- I need to repaint my toenails" and "mind blank"s. I spent my Saturday evening blogging and returning things to stores.
They wouldn't dream of laying you off -- you're way too experienced and hardworking.
I agree about the power of both flying and beauty (ha!) and also with the one you chose. Except before we will issue you your wings, we will have to give you a different face, a lumpy body, and drab brown hair. Sorry -- can't let any one superhero get *too* powerful, because that's just boring.
