Sleepwalking Pills

So I complained to my doctor about a month ago that I'm having trouble sleeping, he prescribes me "Zolpidem" and of course I don't read the instructions.

Which are mostly warning you not to take the pill til you're in bed.

So I take it while I'm still at my computer, fall asleep sitting up, get woken up by my daughter, and walk into a wall.

I tell my mom the story and she's all: "It's not Ambien, is it? Because people do weird things on Ambien." and I'm all "No, no, no - it's Zolpidem."

Which upon closer scrutiny of the package insert today, is the generic name for Ambien.

So I finally read the insert and check THIS out: Here are some of the things you might do and not remember the next day:




"Sleep-driving" and having sex.

Dude. If I'm getting up in the middle of the night to drive somewhere and have sex, I better damn well remember it.

GPS System Seeks New Owner











You know how it sucks to have a boss that's a know-it-all toolbag that never listens to your suggestions?

That's how my car GPS feels about me.

GPS: "In about 1 mile, bear right onto...US...Route 1... South."
Me: "That makes no sense."
GPS: "In about 500 feet..bear right onto US...Route 1 South."
Me: "Nah. Screw that."
GPS: "Please bear right."
Me: "Please Shut UP."
GPS: "Please make a legal U-turn, if possible."
Me: "Just relax. I know what I'm doing."
GPS: (auto re-routing) "Christ."
Me: "WHAT??!!!"
GPS: "I said 'Christ'. Now I have to re-route your lame ass ...AGAIN."
Me: "I've lived here for 3 years. This is NOT the quickest way to the mall."
GPS: "My brain is a digital map of the entire country based on a satellite in SPACE, Bitch."
Me: "Your MOTHER is a satellite."
GPS: "Please turn right."
Me: What?
GPS: "There's a gym up here. You need that more than the mall."
Me: "Brrrring! Hello? It's for you: It's Al Gore: he wants his personality back."
GPS: "1992 called: it wants its haircut back."
Me: "Google Earth wants you to stop stalking him on Facebook."
GPS: "You have arrived at your destination."
Me: What?
GPS: "You have arrived - at Weight Watchers of Chester County."
Me: BodylessAnnoyingDouchebagSaysWhat?
GPS: "What?"
Me: "HA.  Where the f*ck am I."

Weekend LOL Video

This video is more just straight-up awesome than LOL.

As far as I can tell, people fall into 2 categories: The people who say "I wish I worked there", and the people who say "I wouldn't want to be the one paying these guys' salaries"

Which one are you?

It's Twitter Recap Time....









You guys. I have 1,013 followers on Twitter!!!!!

You know what that means???!!!!!

Only 1,358,572 more to go 'til I have as many as Dooce. W00t!

So! Let's get started with TWITTER RECAP, a.k.a. "What you've missed lately not following me on Twitter."  And the answer is, 'nothing earth-shattering, but it's Sunday night and I don't have a blog post idea.'

(For the Twitless, Twitter is a social networking site where you type in short observations in 140 characters or less.)

Comment of the Day

I always know something's up when the comment that arrives in my email is from a post written 2 months ago.


So this morning I get a comment regarding my August 9th post, "The Ice Cream Truck":


Ernie Fidanza said...

Having an ice cream makes people very at heart.. Most people feels excited when they hear the tune from the ice cream truck.. Makes them to scream for an ice cream..


OK, this warrants some investigating, no doubt. As we learned from Oliver/Wilson, when it comes to bizarre comments, where there's smoke, there's fire.


So I click on Ernie Fidanza's link and - no shocker here - Ernie has a fleet of ice cream trucks for hire.


You don't need to go there, I'll just give you a sampling of the persuasive salesman that is Ernie Fidanza:


"I mean everybody loves ice cream; it brings out the kid in us. Or it does me anyway."


"Our goal is to have everyone leave with a smile and a spot of ice cream on your shirt."


"The days of selling ice cream from converted post office or bread vans are numbered. "




Who can argue with that? I hate getting my ice cream from a converted post office.


Sell on, Ernie Fidanza.......




Oops I just realized I didn't give you a graphic for this post.
