      I gotta stop doing that.

      April 28th, 2006 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

      currently eating: an apple

      Whenever I spell my name over the phone it goes a little something like this:

      mike d: The name is Mike DiDonato
      operator: can you spell that for me?
      mike d: sure. D - i - Capital D - o - n as in Nancy - a - t - o.
      operator: thanks

      Every single time I say “N as in Nancy.” I must be able to think of a more manly thing to say. As soon as I say it, I can hear the person on the other line think “heh. what a pansy.” Occasionally I include “D as in Dog”… pathetic. Really, I think the whole spell by associated word could be way better. That’s why I’m proposing the real man’s list of associated words. Learn it. Learn it well. Enough of this Nancy trash.

      The Real Man’s List of Words.

      A as in Apocalypse
      B as in Barbeque
      C as in Cocaine
      D as in Demolition
      E as in Excrement
      F as in Fighting
      G as in Guns
      H as in He-man
      I as in Incinerate
      J as in Junkyards
      K as in Kill
      L as in Laceration
      M as in Meat
      N as in Nuke
      O as in Orthodontists Ozzy
      P as in Pac-man
      Q as in Quest
      R as in Rock
      S as in Sin
      T as in Tyrannosaurus
      U as in Uranium
      V as in Vin Diesel
      W as in Waco
      X as in X-men
      Y as in Yacht
      Z as in Zombie

      I will start using this from now on.

      Great Phrase

      April 28th, 2006 by mike d. in Work, Humor

      currently eating: oatmeal

      With no disrespect to the person who spoke the words, a fellow co-worker used the following phrase at a meeting today.

      coworker: okay guys, let’s get right into the meat of the potato.

      Perfect.

      Uppercase

      April 28th, 2006 by mike d. in Quickthoughts

      We have Uppercase and Lowercase letters… why not numbers? How come all numbers are uppercase?

      House of Renovation

      April 28th, 2006 by mike d. in House of Rock

      currently eating: cereal

      Yesterday I had a great chat with the head of finance at my workplace. We talked a lot about house renovations and it got me geared up for this summer at the House of Rock.

      There are so many things I’d like to do!

      Some of the jobs are standard house improvement jobs:
      Kitchen cabinets
      New windows
      Painting

      Some of the jobs are tough, but do-able:
      put a hard floor into the garage
      replace a plaster ceiling
      make the basement functional
      renovate the garage

      Some of them would be useless but extremely fun:
      Creating a monitoring control room complete with an excessive amount of monitors and LEDs
      Building secret passageways between rooms
      An armoire that transforms into a weapons cache
      Busting a hole in the roof for an observatory

      Perhaps this weekend we will start planning. Adventure is in order.
