When my roommate decides to play solo tambourine.

That sounds cute!

I don't think cute is exactly the word I would use to describe 20 minutes of offbeat tambourine playing.  But practice makes perfect, I guess.  All the great tambourinists had to start somewhere.

Does he at least practice to good music? Or is no music involved?

It is without music.  He is playing tambourine alone.  In his room.  For reasons I will never be able to fathom.

Oh Lord. Like Ed Grimley, only without the backing music.

Maybe I'm suggestiong the obvious, but have you considered the possibility that your roommate is Davy Jones? And if your first reaction to this is "Of course it's not Davy Jones, I'd recognize Davy Jones," have you considered the possibility that your roommate is Davy Jones wearing a really good fake moustache?

Do you hate that he plays the solo tambourine or just that he makes a decision?

Do you "listen while [he] play-play-play-play-play-play-play-plays... [his] Green tambourine"?

back to the topic:

people.

on topic: me. I stayed up all night working on something I needed to finish like today. Got to bed at 8 am. Set the alarm to noon, cause I still had stuff to do (didn't finish the thing). But APPARENTLY my body was tired or something, because I turned the alarm off at noon and slept for another FOUR hours, essentially killing the "office hours" part of the day, when people with normal jobs are available. I'm so in the flesh about this.

[Steve of Bloomington]

What does 'so in the flesh' mean? Is it some religious thing?

Thanks, I wondered what that was about.

I hate the word 'passion' with a passion.

It's too misused by the motivational speaker types.

Some days I consider the possibility that everyone is just Davy Jones wearing a really good fake moustache.
It's the only way the world makes sense.

Honestly, I despise the fact that my fiance still does not have his drivers license. There it is.
