that garfield check is way cool
i think all the activity of the past two weeks has finally caught up with me. there's a backlog of photos to post and i've got a giant headache. and a runny nose. and a slight cough. and i feel like i'm in need of two days of sleep. and all this is after a sunday of sleeping on the couch. i have a cold. or a fever. i'm not sure which. if i had one of those plastic strips for my forehead, i'd take my temperature. i'm sure it would be higher than normal.
while resting in bed earlier tonight it occurred to me that i've had multiple checking accounts over the course of the past 12 years. in all those years, i've never ordered checks with anything other than the basic check design. sure, i've varied the color depending on the account, but i've never ordered checks with little pictures of the simpsons. or checks with a watercolor like background of my university. or checks with pooh and pals. i think i've missed out on a lot. if i were the type to write checks in the grocery store, i'm sure i could get some funny looks. and i'm sure those checks would brighten the lives of those receiving the money at time warner cable. or is it aol time warner cable? i think it's time they spin that business off. but that's just me. nope. no little line drawings on my checks. as much as i love astronauts, i've got no images of snoopy in a space helmet. or wood cuts of chimpanzees (representing primates in space). i've been forced to put all my checking creativity into the "notes" section of my checks. now that i'm old all i can muster is the random account number or the delightful catch phrase i utter at the beginning of every month - "rent."
