MY NEW DIET PLAN

My doctor said I needed to lose weight...OK he actually said, "Your blood work indicates you're a very healthy person so I'm rather surprised at how much your chart says you weigh. (Translated: Your insides are so healthy that they hide how fat you are outside.) You need to lose 20 pounds."

I was pretty devastated until I found THIS NEWS ARTICLE.

It's about a man who lost a bunch of weight and lowered his cholesterol by eating nothing but PIZZA. IN 30 DAYS!

Enjoy a moment from the Summer of LoveDrugsandOtherStuff



Crosby Stills and Nash sing the Beatles' "Blackbird."

They played after the end of the official third day of the concert, sometime after midnight on Monday, August 18th, 1969.

I was 7 years old and thought "Woodstock" was one of Snoopy's friends.

WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

Today, the world said goodbye to Michael Jackson. When I told my daughter she said, "Why did they wait so long...wait, I guess if there's so much plastic...(sees my horrified face)...you...don't... have...too...hurry?

Arrrrrgh!

But she quickly recovered (ORLY?) by saying, "When was Billy Mays' funeral? I LOVED him!"

Sigh. I thought I had done so well...

As a side note and further proof of my failing to instruct my daughter concerning Things One Must Know And Love, after the King of Pop's death she said (and I can't believe it...it must come from her father),


"This is the first person to be born a poor black boy and die a rich white woman."

I'm going "Beat It" into her and play "Man in the Mirror" until she cries "Billie Jean" and repents at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com

Bird Art

This dude has been on my blog before...but he's started a new series.

He paints "Sully" Sullenberger's portrait (the pilot of the plane that landed in the Hudson River after becoming disabled by birds sucked into the engine) with an actual dead duck.

It's Art and It's Weird. That's Why We Watch at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com

I've Been Sick!

For the past two days my body's ached like it was being squeezed in a vice. A fever was to blame, of course, but it wasn't a bad one...at least no according to my "Anti-Accurate Digi Therm" that we now must use because "real" thermometers were too "dangerous" for "normal" people because it had satanic "mercury" in it. Which means...I had a fever, but who knows what it was...

I had always wanted an excuse to lay in bed for two days...and read...and blog...and make lists.

Instead, I slept. For nearly 18 hours straight. And then I watched "Scooby Doo and the Ghost Pirate" movie on Netflix Instant Viewing. Nothing shows the depths to which you have fallen like watching a Scooby Doo movie on Netflix when "Meet the Robinsons" was available.

Obviously I was very sick.

I'm not at all sure how he makes the myriad of those sounds come out of his mouth like that...but he probably ought to say "excuse me" more often.

I'm sitting at Panera's while Megh's at church...Broccoli cheese soup, a baguette, and a diet coke would probably inspire a great and life-changing writing experience, except that I left my glasses at home...

So I'm typing in a way that one would think of when using the idiomatic and well-worn phrase "blind as a bat" if bats were, in fact, blind instead of having a high tech thing called "sonar" making them more able to see things in the dark than I can with both sets of glasses at noon.

Regardless...I've got a LOT to share with you so I'm going to try to write to you while I work on my backlogged emails.

Here's hopping I hit the right keys at: marcyjoybryan@gmail.com

UPS Maintenance Reports

The following is not my writing but I thought you'd enjoy it nevertheless:

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. I don't know that this is true...if so, I'm flying with them on my next trip...they go everywhere!

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
*
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
*
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
*
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
*
P: Auto pilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
*
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
*
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
*
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
*
P: IFF in operative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
*
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
*
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search
*
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
*
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
*
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
*
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

THE ORIGINAL Scary 'Mary Poppins' Recut Trailer

I got to hang out in the Tech Room during the performance last night. The Tech Room is a Very Interesting Place, meaning that people of the "tech" persuasion chat about all sorts of potentially interesting things, many of which involve words like "blah," "blah" camera "blah," and "blah, blah, No Way!" I'm sure other words are used in the course of these conversations, but I'm having to translate from geek to human and it can be a bit challenging. Thank you for your patience.

Anyway, the REAL reason I love sitting in the tech room (besides learning the language) is that you also hear about very interesting websites.

Hence this post.

I hope you find it as hysterically creepy as I did.

A Swedish Bacon Pillow (unscented as of yet)

and (I'm not making this up)



Chocolate Bacon Dessert

And there are a plethora of others that you just must see.

I'm Not Bored, But I'm Here

Easter Passion practice has started for the tech crew. I have been sucked into, I mean had the opportunity to help put microphones on the performers before the show starts and then help take them off after they finish. I have been brought in to assist the girls because apparently it is better to have a girl grabbing up through a costume of a girl than having a non-girl do it (even if the non-girl is WAY better at it and actually knows what it is doing).

So, I arrive around 5pm and hang out in the intriguing geekdom of mic-land. Once all the girlies are wired, I run ("running" here is an utter misnomer) upstairs to clean up the tech break room and get it ready for dinner. (They wisely feed the cameramen and spotlight operators after the show because they don't want sleepy technical people using very expensive equipment.)

At the 3/4 point I run back downstairs to help take the mics off the girls. When done, back upstairs I go to eat and help clean the break room.

But right in the middle...Right here where I am now...nothing's happening. The water jugs are filled, the food isn't here yet. The actors are singing and if there is a mic problem, it's beyond my ability to fix it...so I'm joyfullyexempt.

It'll be during these times each that you will be getting a lot of pointless things from me because...well, number on,e I have a moment dedicated to this activity...but more importantly...have you ever had the opportunity to hang out with geeks? They are a veritable fountain, a cornucopia as it were, of trivial information, ridiculous websites, and strange videos. And I'm sitting, at this moment, at their epicenter.

God is Good!

His name is Ugly Bat Boy, of course.

But, according to the article, he's really a sweetheart. The article then goes on to say, "The impression from clients that come in is he's not real because he just sits so still, and when he does move, he scares them, but they think he's mesmerizing...He has the run of the place and all the attention he can handle."

Let's recap: Sits perfectly still, scares people and/or mesmerizes them. Smells of sulfer. Of course he has the run of the place...why would anyone try to get in the way of a cat that has obviously been sent from Hades?

I'm being a groupie while my daughter helps a friend prep for the Southeast Easter Passion.

Since I am here and it's Saturday and I'm trying to avoid ruining my reputation by being productive, let me share some time wasting links with you.

Here's one that Kevin has watched at least 4 times. Why? Possibly for the freakish athletics, or perhaps it's the inspiring music...but for me, I so tensed up watching these madmen that I feel like I've done a whole work out in a few short minutes. Virtual Exercising, my favorite! Especially on a Saturday!

The Japanese Should Surrender...Again

Because this is their new favorite pet:



Frankly, this is disturbing on many levels. But let's just stick with the obvious: this little creature is categorically ugly.

If you don't recognize him, it's the only known member of the appropriately named genus Heterocephalus. You may have heard his more common names: the sand puppy or the naked mole rat as made famous by Disney's cartoon "Kim Possible."

Here is Rufus the Naked Mole Rat showing off his mad skills:



And Rufus was as lethal as he looks. Many an afternoon were happily spent, Meghan curled up beside me, a Diet Coke in hand, watching naked, so-ugly-he's-cute Rufus help Kim conquer the mad geniuses that threatened Middleton in the Emmy award-winning show (It was nominated 10 times and won once).

But this...the real live rodent with the Freudian name...this just shows that God's sense of humor is possibly more disturbing than we...than I...originally thought.

Actually, using my own opinion in a way that someone (meaning "Meghan") might consider it as "expert opinion," the heterocephalus glaber proves that there must be a creator...because, really...how could you evolve into such a little beastie and count it as a step up?

And, leave to Japan to fall in love with the creepy little guy. You can read more about his meteoric rise here. May I remind you that this is the same group of people who invented sushi. But that's not all...Take a look at more results of too much saki and bait.


Look here.

Zen and the Art of Potato Peeling

I stood at the sink last night, peeling Yukon Gold potatoes. They were from Sam’s and roughly the size and shape of a partially deflated softball. The skin on the Yukon Gold potato (if you’ve never seen one and are interested in tuber skins) could be called “delicate,” particularly since “dainty” doesn’t seem to fit something as earthy and ugly as a potato. Yet, said skin is dainty, and delicate, and thin, and comes off easily with my very manly fire-engine red KitchenAid TM peeler.

Growing up we used a rickety peeler:




Its tiny frame and wobbly blade belied its deadliness…I still bear the marks of its razor sharp edge finding my own skin rather than the potato’s. Note that “it finding” here means that I believe that rickety peeler was demon possessed. I mean, look at it...It just screams...and it does so using the same chords as heard in that classic documentary on bed and breakfasts called “Psycho.”

But the KitchenAid Euro-peeler is a beast:




A handsome, fat handle and large blade set into an arcing frame. This is a peeler to make potatoes shudder…it makes them bow to the power of its sturdy girth…nay… it makes the potato practically peel itself!

BWA-ha-haha-ha-hahahaah!

So I’m standing at my kitchen sink, peeling Yukon Gold (or rather watching the potato jump out of its skin as I wave my manly KitchenAid Euro-peeler threateningly nearby) and I realize:

I was thoroughly enjoying peeling potatoes.

The fire was blazing, it was cold outside, Meghan was working on a project, Kevin was on his way home, Libby was laying at my feet and drooling, Peanut was laying under the still up artificial Christmas tree, and Fluffy the Hamster was still frozen…and I was…

Content.

But it was more than that. It was the pleasant, unforced contentedness of simply being…of taking a task and accomplishing it with capable tools and with ease…and seeing that it was good. Of watching my daughter moving in her gift of creating videos and knowing that it (and she) is good. Of a grateful heart for a husband who works hard in his gifting and who gladly provides (in God) pleasant surroundings in which I can peel my potato and realizing that he is good. And, deep down, resting in the glow of my Creator who made me to enjoy work and being and mothering and wifing and worshiping and being completely sure that he is utterly good.

I realize that there is flawed theology in that last paragraph. Please don’t burst my contented bubble this week….

because PMS arrives next week.

New Year's Resolutions No More!

Well, January is nearly over so it's time to finally give up on those New Year's resolutions you made (“resolutions” here means "things everyone else is thinking you should change or do"). If you're like me, each year these "resolutions" get "written down" (meaning "told to a stranger in the checkout line but definitely NOT your mom or husband or someone who will actually make you do them"), and, by the time MLK Day rolls around (or at latest Valentine’s Day), they are happily forgotten.

We Bryans don't do resolutions for the very reason that "resolution" can be hard to say, especially with braces, and that it often has the automatic expectation unaccomplishment. We (meaning “I”), instead, want to Get! Er! Done! So we use the much more guiltifying concept of "goal." Goals are great because you can start them any time and you can revise them whenever you'd like... but no matter what, "goals" tend to hang over your head letting you know that you've got something to do but that you probably won't get done.

We dutifully made a handful of goals this year. Among them: Megh will eat 2 veggies a day, I am to blog once a week and walk 15 minutes every other day, and Kev’s to be nice and non-cynical. These examples display the obvious difference between resolutions and goals. Goals are mostly measurable and can be accomplished.

But after review, I think I have set my sights too low. And since it’s Time! For! Change! instead of blogging and walking, I’m going to attempt excel lance at something I should have started years ago. And I believe, if I try hard enough, it could become A Gift!

In case you’d like to join me, the goal for various aspect of daily life is listed below along with several easy-to-do action steps. Feel free to print the lists out and post in visible places thus not only maintaining a high level of inspiration but also allowing friends and family to be well aware of your intentions.
Overall Goal: This Year I’m Going to Irritate.
This year I’m going to irritate my friends and co-workers.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• Find out when my friends’ favorite TV programs are on. Call them seven minutes after each show starts. Do this weekly.
• Expel bodily gasses in confined spaces. But only if other people are present. Blame it on my “condition” which is probably not “contagious.” A diet of beans will help accomplish this.
• Openly and loudly take credit for successes that have nothing to do with me or my abilities. Name-drop freely but only if it can’t be traced.
• Follow a few paces behind someone (pick a new person each week!) and ask, “Are you feeling alright?” while spraying everything they touch with Lysol.
• Finish as many sentences possible with the words “in accordance with the prophesy.”
• When I make presentations, I will occasionally bob my head. Like a parakeet. Must choose to do this straight faced or smiling like a loony.
• Deliberately hum songs that will take over other people’s brain. Pick a new one every week or month, depending on the reaction. Some possibilities are “Feliz Navidad” (but only January, February. and March), “Muskrat Love” (as sung by the Captain and Tenille), or anything sung by Barry Manilow. Research annoying songs from the 90’s to add to repertoire.
• Drum on every available surface.

This year I’m going to irritate those I love.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• Learn to snore. (Research possible “how-to’s” on the Internet.)
• Leave late for appointments. Do so especially if I’m with family. And it’s something they really want to attend. Blame it on being a “slave to fashion.”
• Have the last word as often as possible. (Raise the stakes by making that last word “Idiot” or “Duh!”)
• Change channels five minutes before the end of every show. (May need to purchase my own “universal” sneaky remote to accomplish this.)
• Hide can opener. When visiting friends’ homes, hide theirs. If I can’t hide the can opener, hide something else of interest, like car keys.
• Adjust the tint on the TV so that all the people are green, and tell Kevin either 1) that I like it that way or 2) he would leave it like that if he really loved me.
• Push all of Megh’s flat Lego pieces together tightly. Blame it on the neighborhood kids.
• Drum on every available surface.

This year I’m going to irritate complete strangers.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• Go to a movie alone. Sit near other people. Talk out loud (in an argumentative fashion) to myself. Tailor the argument around something in the movie. (Best done while watching dramas like “Gran Torino” or “Valkyrie.”)
• On the way out of the movie, (especially if there’s a line waiting to go in), discuss the ending in a loud voice. It’s best if you can strike up a conversation with a stranger and make it look like they went to the movies with you.
• (Keep in mind while traveling.) Pay toll fee with a credit card. Especially effective if done during rush hour.
• Deface bar codes of items in my shopping cart so they won’t scan. Use with either cashier or U-Scan-It line. Ask for help every 30 seconds or so.
• Leave turn signal on for 50 miles (if on a trip) or 15 minutes (if driving in town). Turn it off for a mile or so and then turn it back on for another 50 miles (or 15 minutes). Do this only if you have people behind you.
• Schedule once a month (at least) to find a pedestrian crossing during rush hour and repeatedly push the cross walk button. Never actually cross the road.
• Sit in front yard (or in car at lunch near a busy road) and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down. Pick up dark wire-rimmed sunglasses to help with the effect.
• Honk and wave randomly. But only to people who can see you and try to figure out if they know you.
• Become a politician.
• Drum on every available surface.

This year I’m going to irritate people at restaurants.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• Specify that your drive-through order is “to go.”
• Schedule time to visit nice restaurants twice a month. Decline to be seated, instead eat the complimentary mints by the cash register. Stay there through the dinner rush.
• Pay for my dinner once a month with pennies.
• When possible, ask waitress for an extra seat for my “imaginary friend.”
• Drum on every available surface.

This year I’m going to irritate people I email.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• ONLY TYPE IN UPPERCASE.
• only type in lowercase.
• dont use any punctuation either
• Pass along everything that comes into my email box to at least 10 people on my list (It’s better if you can send it to everyone). Make sure the addresses to whom you are sending in the mass email can be seen and add the obligatory “curse if you do not forward to 10 people” tag at the end of the email.


This year I will construct an irritating lifestyle.
Potential easy-to-do (and measurable!) action steps:
• Remember a friend is only an enemy I haven’t upset yet. Watch for possible indicators that might suggest the tide is turning. Accentuate any behaviors that might increase those indicators.
• Practice smiling blandly at least 3 day a week. Build up to 6. It’s both an unsettling and irritating behavior—a double bonus.
• Remember that there is absolutely no point in talking about someone behind their back unless they get to hear about it, so be strategic in who you talk to and about whom. If in doubt, leave notes about the conversation lying about.
• Practice “Carpe Diem.” From the Latin “carpe”—to carp or whine, and “diem”—meaning daily, hence “carpe diem”—whine daily.
• Sniff incessantly. Do it especially while people are talking. Increase or decrease its frequency on whether agree or disagree with what they are saying. Start off by sniffing only when talking to strangers and then add friends and family as you become more adept.
• Wear a LOT of cologne. Buy it at the dollar store.
• Drum on every available surface.

I do apologize for such a long post. But if one person can be helped using these goals and action steps then, I think you’ll agree with me it’s well worth it.
