I am not sure WHY I did this today, but I went into Walgreen's to buy some cleaning supplies to KILL the lingering stench in my refrigerator's freezer and I got distracted by the cheap movie tower display. I saw a DVD I considered buying and then I saw a bunch of kung fu DVDs. The whole display was in utter disarray (hey, that rhymed.)! So I stood there for an hour, no lie, and organized it.... BUT I only organized the kung fu films. I gave them ALL top and second shelf honors. I felt compelled to do it. I didn't care if I was in the way of other people trying to walk down the aisle I was occupying... I actually got quite perturbed on a number of occasions when folks asked to pass... couldn't they see I was busy arranging the horridly acted, badly directed and filmed kung fu movies that only my big brother and I would consider Oscar worthy?? Of course not.
I just couldn't stop until ALL the DVDs were in, what I believed, place!! I kept going until it was done to my liking (minus alphabetizing) and my fingertips were dirty from the film of dust that had collected on these classic beauties security taped and plastic wrapped cases that no one has stopped to admire, buy and take home.
When I finally made it to the check out counter, I oddly felt a sense of relief for accomplishing something that I didn't really need to do... must be a reflection of the need to get that stinking thesis paper completed... the 2nd first draft that is!!!
OH and on my walk home I noticed a bunch of cars whose owners' had parked them without consideration for the other owners' of the cars in the neighborhood who may need a parking space sooner or later, and I wanted to go around to every car with too much room at their front and rear bumpers, the THREE EXTRA FEET these selfish peasants were hoarding for their crappy rice rockets, and either become Wonder Woman and push the cars forward, or create a note on a Post-It type sticky that reads, "Be kind; move your car forward. The space you save could be your own some day or night... DOOSHbag!" Then go around to all the cars hogging space and stick it to their driver's side window HOPING that when the owners of these cars see it it would strike fear in their hearts, because I would make sure it would resemble the parking ticket citations that are issued so frequently (because these incompetent car parkers make it impossible to find a space - resulting in REAL parking citations), and they would thus move their cars quickly because they would be afraid it was an actual citation. Maybe I need to include on the fake citation, "This is your first warning; the next time this happens expect a fee or other severe consequences. Have a blessed day!"
Obviously, I haven't taken such extreme measures... yet!
