WITWISTK? Game™: Clue #14 (to answer Question #5: Where is destination #3?)
Visual clue:
Archive for July, 2003
I wish that on this Monday-after-the-4th-of-July-Weekend I could have some wild and debaucherous stories to tell you, but alas, my life is incredibly dull and boring.
I spent the 4th of July cleaning the house. Yes, you read that right. I CLEANED the house. Whoo hoo! I am one wild and ka-ray-zee gal!
But the fun didn’t end there. Saturday, the 5th of July was the *real* treat for me. I spent the day in our homemade sauna.
Homemade sauna sound fun? Next time, please join me… if you dare.

Good luck ; )
The 4th of July, Ikea, fireworks in Silverlake, Nicaragua, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more.
Hello one and all, my new world of bloggies. Here is a bit about my recent observations of the 4th of July. I might get a bit political here. Sorry, but it won’t be too bad. This 4th started out with a very American trip to Ikea. The roomies and I got a few things we needed, and a lot we didn’t… that happens at Ikea, a land where everything is named to sound like the punch line to Swedish jokes. A lot of these jokes appear to be somehow related to gay porn, with names such as (and I will not put in those umlauts etc, cause I don’t know where they go, but here is a sampling): stroker, billy, gruntal, throb, you get it? Ok, so after getting back from Ikea, I needed desperately to get out of the house. I was drained, felt like the Death Valley sewer system… Time to imbibe…

WITWISTK? Game™: Winner #4: Yay for jenjenjen! SkurdyCat correctly answered “Atlanta” to Question #4: Where is Sharky going after her business trip? (Where is destination #2?)
We skipped Winner #3 (Question #3: What is Sharky doing during her business trip?) but you can continue to guess and submit answers to this. (More clues coming!)
So I’ve been “left in charge” over at Mikey2’s so I’m trying to give it a little jozjozjoz love.
That means, please be lewd, rude, obscene & generally annoying.
Oh, and leave lots of links to porn and stuffs.
Pretty please.
Ok, boyz and girlz, da professor is in da hizzouse.
Doood. I *so* cannot get away with talking like that so I’ll just stop now.
You may have noticed that there is a new person to welcome on jozjozjoz.com.
Actually, you’ve kind of already met him, as I’ve been posting Eric’s gratitudes up for him in anticipation of his writing in this blog.
And you’ve also seen the joint artwork of Joz & Eric, aka Hipsters, Inc.
Follow the lead of Sharky & Yoshi & welcome him heartily. He’s the best!
Happy 4th of July.
I’m sharing with you a salute to this fine country… one with a different angle than a lot of the flag-waving salutes you may have seen elsewhere. This is stolen shamelessly from the guy who hosts my blog for me, Mike Doss.

Professor Eric in the house.
My gratitude for today, and it is a sincere one, comes courtesy of marcmarcmarc blogblogblog.
I am grateful that there are no nuts hanging from my vehicle or any other vehicle I might have to drive. I am also grateful I have never actually seen these things on anyone else’s vehicles (though I know it’s just a matter of time ’til I do).
Billed as the “ultimate vehicular ornament!”
WITWISTK? Game™: Clue #12: Sharky’s work in New York is complete. Her flight took her to a “southern” city (destination #2).
We still don’t have a winner to Question #3 (What is Sharky doing during her business trip?) but we can start giving clues for:
Question #4: Where is Sharky going after her business trip? (Where is destination #2?)
Still grumpy about my contacts.
Head hurts from wearing glasses. Trying a different pair today to see if my head feels any better.
Have already exceeded the recommended dosage of Excedrin Migraine.
So I say again… Bah!
My eye doctor is still making me go back for an exam, though I’ll probably have a small discount on the price since my last exam was pretty recent (April 2002).
But the good news is he’s taking my appointment for tomorrow & even coming in early so I can get taken care of right away.
The bad news is my head is KILLING me from wearing glasses all day. Need my contacts. ASAP!
Clue #11: Sharky’s event has happened annually 45 times prior to Monday night.
Grumpy.
I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me sometimes.
I stayed up waaay too late last night (playing with my new webcam). As I was getting ready to go to bed, I did my usual contact lens removal/cleaning routine. As is my habit, I plugged the sink so that if I dropped the contact, it wouldn’t go down the drain. And of course, I dropped my left contact last night.
So what do I do? Without thinking, I unplugged the sink with my contact still floating around in the basin. I quickly realized what I did, I immediately plugged the sink back up, but it was too late.
Since this is my only pair of contacts & I no longer have vision insurance through work, I got desperate. I tinkered with the idea of undoing the pipe underneath the sink & spent 15 minutes cleaning out the cabinet under the sink. (I had done something similar once before & I was actually able to retrieve it out of the gross pipe.) I dug out Yoshi’s wrenches and tools and stuff and I was able to undo one portion of the pipe. But when disgusting black water started to come out of it, I decided that even if I could undo the other side, I really, really didn’t want that contact back in my eye again. (By now, it was approximately 2:00 am.)
Then I spent 20 minutes looking for my DKNY glasses that I haven’t worn in months. I tore up our newly cleaned house looking for it, to no avail. I went to bed worrying about how I was going to see when I woke up in the morning.
This morning I woke up and remembered I had been carrying my glasses around in one of my other purses & sure enough, they were there. (Incidentally, I also found the camera I hadn’t been able to find in weeks there.)
And I just got off the phone with my eye doctor’s office. They won’t reorder my contact for me if it’s been over a year since my last exam (it has).
So now I have to pay (out-of-pocket) for an exam, a contact (maybe two) and I have to figure out how I’m going to be able to take time out of my busy work schedule to do it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
