Deep Thoughts, by Bonnie Leigh

I’ve had a twitch in my left eye for the past three days. It’s terribly annoying, and I fear may be a symptom of an underlying psychological malfunction. The spasms increase in intensity when fighting through early morning traffic, particularly after being cut-off by small sedans covered in “save the planet” and “Jesus loves you” bumper stickers. Strangely, while at home reclining on my leather couch, I experience no symptoms.
I work for a healthcare facility, yet I cannot get an appointment with my healthcare provider, who is on site, until March 17th. In order to see any other provider, I can make an appointment as early as tomorrow; however, they need a referral from my primary care physician who is not available until March 17th.
My fastest recorded time playing computer solitaire is 50 seconds flat. I have had entirely too much opportunity to practice at this game.
An estimated 89.9% of people in the city of Jacksonville do not know how to park correctly. This is based entirely on my observation and not on any actual evidence or fact.
Mexican food is awesome.
Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor and philosopher who wrote “Meditations,” a collection of wisdom and observations for personal improvement. One such aphorism stated “All good things in moderation.” After repeated personal experimentation, I have discovered this applies to all things, even chocolate.
I think about dogs and/or agility roughly every 30-40 minutes on average.
Birds don’t fly at night. That “bird” I saw while walking Xander at 9:45pm was actually a bat.
I have seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail an estimated 73 times. I notice something different every time I watch it. I would like to have met their moose trainer.
I learned as much from watching reruns of “Saturday Night Live” on Comedy Central and looking up words in the dictionary when I was twelve as I did from my sex education class in high school.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was the best show ever broadcast on basic cable television, but Barney from “How I Met Your Mother” is the best character ever created for a television series. Neil Patrick Harris has been involved in projects produced by Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy. Neil Patrick Harris therefore is exponentially awesome.
If Supercuts has a sign on the window that says “Walk ins Welcome!” you will be guaranteed to wait 30 mins or more for service.
I am thinking about dogs and agility again right now.
