Now that google has 'acquired' GrandCentral.com and moved to their classic invite system, it has come to my attention that there are people seeking out these 'invites.'

Personally, I find that the novelty-factor of the service outweighs its usefulness, but I'm sure there are plenty of you that would be able to utilize it more fully than myself. I do like that I can record a separate greeting for different contacts, send some of them directly to voicemail, and that it can ring multiple phones at once so I can answer wherever I happen to be - all using just one phone number. I guess that alone makes it worth using for me.

So, first 10 commenters on this post - I'm going to send an invite your way. Make sure that you type in a valid email address, since that's where I'll send the invite to. Your email address will not be visible, and will only be used for sending your grandcentral invite.

So I found a copy of the p90x workout videos that I can borrow.. It's pretty brutal. My body isn't really used to working out, and I threw quite a bit at it last night. I couldn't completely follow along with the video, because I don't have a chin-up bar, and I gave up after about 40 minutes because I couldn't do too much more moving.

I think I must have done about a billion pushups. I kept getting to the point where I'd be counting a set, and get to 30, and then my brain would kick in and be like "no, you can't even do 30. you're done" and then my arms would give out.

I'm really not sore anymore, but I think I have like "phantom pain" where I keep imagining what it felt like last night.

Ah.. McDonald's breakfast - few things on this earth are as horrible as you. Yet.. I occasionally subject myself to the torture of consuming you, and for some unexplainable reason enjoy it.

Your coffee is better than the stuff that comes in a 10 gallon metal can, but still can't compare to that of even some of the worst coffee shops. But even crappy coffee is more enjoyable when it's in my mouth, not on my shirt.

Today I received what I will call a "defective lid." The type of lid that looks normal, and makes you wonder how tired (stupid) you must be to keep spilling coffee.  It took three spills.. one on my shirt and two test spills on my desk to realize that, in this instance at least, I wasn't a complete idiot.

The recessed rim around the top edge had a crack in it right below the "drink here" hole. Such a crack would make it seem like you were just drooling coffee all over yourself, but my incredible powers of deduction proved otherwise.

I'm tired.

Oh, and the coffee wasn't hot anymore.

I have to take issue with this bottle of mountain dew that's sitting on my desk. Here's a quick breakdown of the relevant facts on the nutrition label:

1 bottle = 20 oz = 2.5 servings

1 serving = 110 calories

So, some simple math (110 calories x 2.5 servings) SHOULD give us the number of calories in the entire bottle, right? The bottle disagrees. All the other figures work out, the sodium and sugar, but the calories do not. Instead of being 275 calories per bottle, somehow (according to the label) we're at 290. Is there some sort of caloric conversion that needs to be done that explains this?

At least one of you are coming to this page by searching google for "sparxmind".

Why?

It's not a term that is accidentally searched for.. and if you're trying to get here and remember "sparxmind," why go through the trouble of google-ing it, why not just add a ".com" to the end and get here all quick and speedy-like?

I'm asking, because it strikes me as odd, and there might actually be a valid reason for doing it like that.. so, if it's you - comment? I'm curious. Thanks

At the UNRELENTING nagging of spudart.. I gave in and took one of those personality test dealy things. This one - http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp. And here, for the world to see, are my results.. I am.. an INFJ. It copied the font and color when I pasted, I'll leave that, just because it looks all dramatic.

So, what does that mean? Here's an excerpt from one of the description pages:

Counselors can be hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. With their loved ones, certainly, Counselors are not reluctant to express their feelings, their face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative. Indeed, because of their strong ability to take into themselves the feelings of others, Counselors can be hurt rather easily by those around them, which, perhaps, is one reason why they tend to be private people, mutely withdrawing from human contact. At the same time, friends who have known a Counselor for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that they are inconsistent; Counselors value their integrity a great deal, but they have intricately woven, mysterious personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

And that actually sounds a bit like me. I've been categorized now. Feel free to put me in a box and label me however you see fit.
