That’s pretty much the gist of today. Just a repeat of yesterday. More Amazon. More packages. More deliveries. Time to get started.
Today’s high is going be be 55 degrees and the silver lining is getting some more hours in from deliveries.
To those of you are still hustling during a holiday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Good luck with your second day. Don’t work too hard!
Twin Muse: Get your coffee and get it done! You got this!
I will have to admit. Last night was pretty fun. At Maru, me and my Twin Muses split an appetizer and each ordered two orders of sushi. The appetizer was firecracker shrimp. Of course, I got my usual, which was the Madagascar Roll, with the burn sauce on the side (since they don’t do that anymore unless you ask). My other one was the Sexy Bacon Roll. My Muse also got a Madagascar Roll with a Sexy Bacon Roll. Twin Muse got a Madagascar Roll with a Cosmo Roll.
Along with the Sushi, we all got a dinner. We all got the Hibachi Teriyaki Glazed Chicken.
After the dinner, I went to Meijer and got her a card and two of the biggest boxes of chocolate that I could find. Sure, it cost me $60, but they were both worth it. When I was done shopping, the twins took care of theirs. We then all went home.
At home, we all signed our cards and exchanged them. I opened hers and Twin Muse’s and she and Twin Muse opened mine. I then got out the big heart-shaped box of chocolates for each of the twins. She and Twin Muse, of course, had to outdo me with an even BIGGER box, with a bouquet of roses.
After that, we all went to the bedroom, and we…kissed. First, it was with Muse. And then Twin Muse got a turn. That’s all we all did. Both Twin Muses took turns kissing me. The clothes remained on, as I vow to remain pure through my wedding day. This includes fictional women.
Last night was fun. Yes, it was a date. But a purely fictional one. If anything, a simulation of what I can expect in the future. Maybe not a date with two women, but only one. Getting to reality, I am single, and fortunately there is a day to celebrate that. That day is today. And to all you couples out there, you’re not invited. For Single’s Awareness Day, it’s SINGLES only. Not couples. Your day was yesterday. Sorry.
Muse: Last night was fun, even though it was purely fictional.
Twin Muse: I loved it too! So much food and so much kissing…
It was quite enjoyable. At least I wasn’t alone.
Muse: And neither was I. Besides. I’m getting you ready for the real thing. When “she” comes along, won’t you want to be ready?
Twin Muse: The truth is that both I and twinnie are getting you ready for your real girl that you meet, Kyle. You do want to be ready, right?
Indeed I would. There is no substitute for the real thing, except for you two, of course.
Muse: And I’m the perfect substitute. One that is deeply in love with you.
Twin Muse: And of course my love is much greater than my sister’s. Admit it. You enjoyed kissing me more last night, right?
But I am still single, since Intangibles don’t count. Happy Single’s Awareness Day…
Muse: Technically, they don’t. I know. Technically, I too am single, since I don’t have another Intangible to be with…But wasn’t last night fun? We should go on more dates…
Twin Muse: Yeah, Intangibles don’t count. I wish they did. But you did have fun last night, didn’t you Kyle? We should try another date but just us this time…
Maybe another time. But today, I need to get ready. I have some Amazon Sunday packages to deliver…
Muse: I’ll let you do that. Get ready, then!
Twin Muse: Get ready and then enjoy the weekend!
I will. But I need to end this, first.
Muse: I’ll let you. Time for a shower!
Twin Muse: I already took one. Time for breakfast!
Here’s today in a nutshell. Today, I will be delivering packages for Amazon Sunday and then enjoy the rest of the day off before Amazon Monday. Anyway, time to get ready.
Today’s high is going be be 48 degrees and the silver lining is enjoying the gift of singleness.
To those of you who are still single like me, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Have fun at home tonight! Time for a shower…
Twin Muse: I hope you have fun after work! Time for some cereal and some coffee!
Once again, it’s that time of year. The day where romantic couples can celebrate the love that they have for each other. And that celebration is reveled in reading mushy cards, chewing conversation hearts and chocolates and dining at an expensive restaurant.
Despite this holiday being based off of a priest named Saint Valentine, this is a greeting card day. A cash cow for Hallmark and one of their most profitable days, besides Christmas. According to some figures that I have heard, Americans have spent $20 billion on Valentine’s Day. If I am the Scrooge of Valentine’s Day, then bah humbug!
For today, I’m going to try to make some one happy. All I need to do now is to figure out who I would…
Muse: Would you be my Valentine?
Twin Muse: How about me? Will you be MY Valentine?
As cliché as it is, sure. Is this going to be another date like the last time we did this?
Muse: It is. I really want a date and there is no one that I can find who is suitable.
Twin Muse: She’s right. As attractive as we are, we just can’t find the right one. How about a double date?
What?! ME go on a double date with twin Muses who are totally imaginary? Are you out of your mind? Granted, I really enjoyed it with one last time, but again with two?!
Muse: Yes again. I really enjoyed our date from last time and I would like to do this again. Just think about it. It would be better to date someone imaginary than no one at all. After all, this day is quite lonely for those who can’t find dates…
Twin Muse: And what about me? You have always gone on dates with my sister, but never me? How about you date us both? We can both take turns kissing you. How about it?
You two are just trying to make me feel better.
Muse: That, and I have already shared my undying affection for you. And you said it yourself. You want to make others happy on this day, right? Can we PLEASE go on a date? Maybe this will persuade you.
Twin Muse: Oh come on! I love him even more. You want to make someone happy? Date me too!
*smooch*
Wow. That’s good.
Twin Muse: That’s not all! Mine is better! Will this change your mind?
*SMOOCH*
Okay. I’m convinced. Where to, Sadie Hawkins Twins?
Muse: We could go to Maru. I love that place. It would’ve been Genji’s, but that place burned down three years ago…
Twin Muse: Yeah. Definitely Maru. Don’t you just love that place?
I do too, but it will be packed on a night like tonight. And if we’re going, we need to make reservations NOW.
Muse: Done! I already have them set up for 6:30.
Twin Muse: What a poser! I made the reservations and you took all the credit!
Also…oh no…
Muse: What?
Twin Muse: Yeah. What’s wrong?
If you’re my Valentine, I didn’t get you anything for Valentine’s Day. No card, roses or chocolates. Nothing.
Muse: That’s okay. You can buy them after dinner. I have my rose for you, but I still have to get the card. We can go in separate rooms to sign them.
Twin Muse: Ditto. I too have my rose, but I still have to get my card! We’ll just go in separate rooms like my sister said!
Sounds like a plan. But this is a joke, right?
Muse: It’s not. I’m serious. I WANT a date! I am not sitting home alone on this day. Can you please take me seriously? This is a real date.
Twin Muse: I could be playing video games but I’m sick of being lonely and hearing about all these dates that my sister got to go on, but I’m always missing out! It’s real, Kyle. As real as this entry is!
A real date with a fake set of twins. Okay.
Muse: What was that? At this point, I would be angry. But I love you too much!
*smooch*
Whoa. You kiss way better than any real person ever could.
Twin Muse: Yeah. I’m just going to let this one slide. Do you have any idea how cute you look?
*SMOOCH*
WOW! Now THAT’S what I call a kiss! Can any real lady kiss like that?
Muse: Trust me. A real kiss from a real girl will be better than this. But this will have to do for now…When are you picking me up?
Twin Muse: She’s right. You’re better off with the real thing. But doesn’t this make good practice? Can you give us the pick up time?
With me having the day off this year, we can arrange for an earlier dinner this time. How about five o’ clock this year for a change?
Muse: Five will work. I’ll be reading a romance novel in the meantime. See you at five!
Twin Muse: Count me in for five! I’ll be playing a dating sim while I’m waiting. Don’t keep us waiting!
Well, that was interesting. At least I won’t be alone later on. Today, I’ll be enjoying my day off before my two Amazon days for Sunday and Monday. A little later, I’ll be going on a “date” with my Twin Muses. I can’t believe that I just said that. Granted, it will be weird, but it will keep my sanity intact.
Today’s high is going to be 39 degrees and the silver lining will be going on a date with my Twin Muses.
To those of you lovebirds who are perfectly content with sharing your love with the world, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Oh, I’m so glad that he said yes! I am determined to fill that void that he has in that lonely heart of his. Time to put on the best clothes that I own and the best perfume! His eyes will melt when he sees me next…Happy Valentine’s Day, Kyle! I promise you that I will make it a good one.
Twin Muse: I am at a level of ecstasy that words cannot describe. How big and vast is that loneliness of yours, Kyle? I can feel it because I have felt it too. All those missed opportunities that my sister was able to take advantage of. But no more! If you’re going on a date, it’s going to be with both of us! I researched the best clothes and perfumes! I also know your favorite video game! Don’t you think that girls who like video games are hot? Oh, Kyle is just going to fall head over heels for me! Happy Valentine’s Day, Kyle! I assure you that both I and my twinnie will make this a Valentine’s Day that you won’t forget.
Stupid power outage!
At least the power is back on now but the internet outage is still in effect.
Time to get started. And no story arcs!
Today’s high is going to be 40 degrees and the silver lining is it being Friday at last.
Good day everyone!
Muse: Yeah. That power outage sucked! At least the power is back on, right?
Twin Muse: Just get some coffee and enjoy yourself! *sips coffee* Just one nice relaxing cup of coffee. And a hot shower! That will make everything better. Okay?
And for today, I will be delivering mail to the first half of the route. Time to get started!
Whoa. Why does this bathroom look like my Muse?
Muse: Sorry. I’m having a weird dream right now. I’m a bathroom. Isn’t it weird?
Twin Muse: And I’m a shower! How much more weird can it get?
*sigh* I guess I’ll have to take an awkward shower with my weird Muses…
Today’s high is going to be 32 degrees and the silver lining is being on my last day of OJI.
To those of you who like being done with out of town training at work, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Whoa. Now I’m the shower? I’ll make sure the water is extra warm, Kyle!
Twin Muse: And I’m a pot of coffee again? *sips coffee* And yeah. I definitely drank myself again. Weird.
No. Just no. From what I experienced with my Muses yesterday, I am not ready to experience them dreaming nonstop for 100 days straight.
And now I’m on a strange landform.
Muse: Hey Kyle!
What’s going on?
Muse: I’m a continent now, and Twin Muse is the sun.
Twin Muse: Hi Kyle! See my bright light?
I do, and I need to get ready now. I have another training that starts at 8:00
Muse: We’ll let you get there!
Twin Muse: Good luck!
*both Muses vanish in a beam of light*
Their dreaming can wait. I have a training to complete. Time to get ready and get this day started.
Today’s high is going to be 30 degrees and the silver lining is being on day two of training.
To those of you who like training at work, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Now I feel cozy. Whoa. Am I a bed now?
Twin Muse: And I’m a pot of coffee! *sips coffee* Weird. Did I just drink myself?
A span of time that seemed like hours passed as I stared at my twin muses who were deeply entranced in their slumber. In reality, it was only just a few minutes. I became more and more anxious as I glanced at both of them eagerly waiting. Eagerly anticipating for them to transform into something new. And although it was a few minutes, those few minutes seemed to last forever.
From the last transformation, both Muses were still in the forms that they took from the final day of their most recent transformation cycle. They were both nerds, both sleeping in their vintage Star Trek pajamas. They slept peacefully on their bed, smiling as if they were experiencing a good dream. Considering the nature of imagination, there was really no limit to what form my Muses could assume. They could be a different creature or could become something magical. They could assume any object at any time that they wanted. But by some ancient law, their physical forms were permanently confined to a specific form every 100 days. That was the rule that I knew well as I ruminated and wondered what they were going to transform into next.
I glanced at both Muses and the Star Trek pajamas that they wore. Their smiles and their snores reflected a radiant glow of beauty, power, influence, charm, and splendor. Their locks of golden hair were in pigtails and felt a little greasy. Their gentle breathing was interrupted by a nasal snore.
I eagerly watched and curiously wondered when the next transformation was going to happen. They were probably in the middle of a wonderful dream, since they were both twins. Could they both be dreaming about being on the USS Enterprise? The minutes felt like countless hours as I glanced longingly at my Twin Muses.
The minutes flew by as their silent slumber continued. So what’s next when they’re no longer nerds? To review, my one Muse has been a fairy, a princess, a Galifreyan, a Zorpozian, a baby, a child, a tween, and with her twin a pair of influencers and now nerds. And even with all of those transformations, that was only the beginning. What will she be next? What will her twin assume with her? If they were both evil as nerds, I hope it not be something similar this time but something more helpful. Something more beneficial. More peaceful. More kind.
“Please,” I earnestly pleaded. “Be something good this time. No nerds that can take over the world and Thanos snap half of humanity. How about something that’s actually good? Nothing bad. Please.”
That is what I hoped every time that she transformed. In most cases, it’s not something bad. With her baby form, it wasn’t necessarily bad. Neither was it the case when they were teenagers. It was just very stressful and frustrating. Hopefully, she will be something less stressful, like her Pre-Teen form…
I continued anxiously waiting, until I heard a sound from both Muses. It wasn’t their quiet and restful breathing anymore, but a sudden gasp. A gasp interrupted their slumber. What’s going on? Are they transforming?
Then I saw it. While sleeping, the twin nerd Muses began to flash. First, it was only once. Seconds later, they flashed twice. A few seconds later, the twins flashed a few more times. This was it. My two Muses were changing their forms once again.
A series of flashes emanated from the twin Muses as they began to transform. Their bodies flashed as their beauty returned to them. Freckles vanished from their faces and thick glasses disappeared from their eyes. Their pigtails vanished, as did their Star Trek pajamas. In its place were night gowns that began to flow off the comforter. The braces on their teeth vanished and they continued flashing.
The flowing night robes began to merge with their bedding and the both began to float into the air. A large flowing cape that was their bedding and nightgown draped down, as various other objects around the room began to graft to their bedding and night gown.
This was getting too frightening, so I woke them up. “Wake up! Strange things are happening in this room!
Both my Muses woke up, still floating in the air. But their eyes were still glazed over like they were still sleeping.
“That’s weird,” My Muse told me. I just had a dream that my nightgown started growing and attached to my bedding. Then a bunch of objects started to attached to it.”
Twin Muse nodded. “Me too! And did you start floating in the air, too?”
“My Muse nodded. “Yes! And….wow! It’s really happening?”
I sighed. “Everything that you just dreamt about actually happened.”
My Muse smiled. “Then I guess we’re still dreaming! I wonder if we’ll ever wake up?”
Twin Muse smiled, as she suddenly found herself growing bigger and bigger. “Whee! I’m growing now!”
Twin Muse then picked up my Muse, who now comfortably fit in the palm of her growing hand.
The bedroom of their tower immediately changed, as the scenery transformed before my very eyes.
“Wow!” My Muse shouted. “A rainforest! I was just thinking of a rainforest!”
“This is not good,” I told them. “So you’re telling me that you’re dreamers?”
My Muse smiled as she sat comfortably perched in Twin Muses giant palm. “I guess so! You may say that I’m a dreamer!”
“But I’m not the only one!” Twin Muse sang with a laugh.
“I hope someday that you’ll join us!” My Muse continued.
“And the world will be as one!” Twin Muse finished.
I shook my head. “John Lennon reference aside, I think that this is a really bad idea. Considering how quick you altered reality, I don’t think that this is going to be a good transformation at all.”
My Muse grinned as she began to shrink. “It’s fine, Kyle. It’s all a dream. When we wake up, it will all be good, okay? See you later!”
And with that, my Muse rapidly outgrew my sister’s palm, and began growing at the same rate as her before they both disappeared.
Great. Just great. Both of my Muses are going to be dreamers for the next 100 days. That’s 100 days of this entire world….no…universe being stuck in their dream. And for everyone in this dream, it’s going to be a nightmare.
100 days of this nightmare. I just hope that I can somehow survive…
Once again, we have arrived at another milestone. A mandatory and objective milestone that will unfortunately and undoubtedly beyond certainty include a totally different post from Day 4000 and a nearly identical post from Day 4500. I don’t know about you, but with it being the morning that I have to drive all the way to Au Gres for my OJI, the LAST thing I want to do is spend the next 3-5 hours constructing a profoundly monumental and redundant display of my writing prowess.
I am sure that you are all aware of how things will transpire. (Another exciting redundancy as usual, but it’s still me from last time! The very same me from the 4500th entry! You don’t believe me, do you? Well, go back and read the 4500th entry and then go and tell me who’s lying. And while we’re on redundancies, how much longer is he going to recycle this piece of rubbish? I’m all about saving the environment, but recycling this for the thirtieth time in a row? My, what a milestone! I do need to applaud for your originality…if you had any! This is getting ridiculous! There hasn’t been anything original since entry 100! Well, okay.
There was also entry 2000 and 4000, which were both amazing by the way. Oh well. I need to acknowledge his busy life, as I am quite busy myself, re-narrating this over-narrated narration… For now, we will continue with this cheaply contrived recycled piece of milestone rubbish, rife with wit, dry humor, satire and sarcasm. Smashing! I don’t think that I will change a thing! Although I did add a little extra content and change “4400th” to “4500th” and “twenty-ninth” to “thirtieth” but now we’re just nit-picking, aren’t we? And while we’re at it, why don’t we recycle almost everything in this entire post? Wait! What I just included was new! So much for sticking to my plan…*sigh*) I will leave an introspective entry and then shift my point of view to first person. (Blah blah blah. Redundant again! REDUNDANCY WARNING! How many more times are you going to recycle this? Wait! I’ve said that already! Well it’s a good thing that I have included that redundancy warning! Otherwise, you would not have been forewarned of said redundancies. What? Did you really think that I was going to forget about it? I remembered! Go me! I rock!) I would then provide a predictable reaction from my Muse’s intended absence.
In a sheer attempt at humor, I redundantly acknowledge the composition of this entry. How I talk about this being another milestone, and that this is just a slightly cheap reconstruction of an entry made 100 days ago. (Not quite. I made some subtle changes and included a note to the reader to reread the 4500th entry which would provide a basis of proof that I am the same narrator that narrated 100 days ago.) How original! You would have to be exhausted to pull off something like that! How I am aware of how things will transpire. How I would leave an introspective…wait! This is getting too redundant, and is on the brink of being extremely absurd and ridiculous. Is it too late to start over? (Genius! Considering that you already typed the first two paragraphs, I would just delete them. Just be sure to save my interjections. They’re pure gold, I tell you! Nevermind…You kept them…) With that, we will press on.
Blah blah blah…Long profound…wait! This is redundant! Wasn’t this mentioned in day 4500? We know what happens next already. The overdone exposition about the Muse and why she is not here, approaching the tower (Yes. This tower is different from the one that you saw in Day 4400. It always is! It’s different every 100 posts!) Let’s avoid the redundancy about being redundant, shall we?
But, breaking away from the overly astute sarcastic narrations that get more and more repetitive and redundant with the passing of each 100th post, I notice that this tower is… different. Yes. The tower is a little bit taller (About 100 stories taller, to be exact! My are we smart!), but just to be sure. We will have a look inside and see…
Time to recycle some text from my previous entry, with some subtle edits to make it resemble something slightly different, with the attempt of sounding original and new, since these milestone posts would be boring without that. (I’m all for originality! Let’s be brave! Let’s make something slightly different so that no one will ever notice!)
After standing there for a while, I finally entered through the door. Sure enough, the same field was there. (We should really change the scenery a little bit. Maybe in a later one, perhaps? But this is entry 4600! Maybe we should change it soon…) I was surrounded by the same lush greenery as before. (The greenery was so green that Kyle was overjoyed with ecstasy from the overwhelming greenness.) Clovers and wildflowers. Yellow, orange, and red leaves. A sea of color. Nothing was different from what I experienced 100 days ago. (Except for everything else in this entry that I changed so far. My, am I on a roll today!)
The colorful luminescent sea led to a rather tall structure that sat far in the distance. A tall structure that looked even taller than before. Again, this was getting too predictable, having already experienced this before. And quite redundant. Every 100 entries, the tower’s a little bigger. We get it.
The tower looked like an ornately decorated office building – for women. The pink and white accents ran up and down the gold-adorned structure. The diamond-studded glass had a pink tint to it. (Oh please! The designer can only think of the ladies, can’t she? Well, I never!)
“A pink office building,” I said to myself. “Can’t my Muse be any more original?”
Let’s cut to the chase, and find out if this tower really is different.
I got attention of the same receptionist who sat there, typing 100 days back.
“So, is this the same Tower of Muses as before?” I asked her, just to make sure. (Oh, come on! You ask her that every single time! Shouldn’t you know the answer already?)
My Muse shook her head again and smiled. “No, silly! This tower is a little different. And there’s a teleporter thingy that will take you to the 4501st floor!”
I nodded, with a slight grin on my face. And this was mainly due to the deja vu. “And this floor is still…”
“Floor 1,” she recited. “ExperiMENTAL. Tee hee…”
And of course the Dark Muse, which was then a bad idea, was just beginning to affect my Muse at this time… (*sigh*) ”Thank you,” I told her, proceeding forward to the mysterious portal that sat past the white service desk just before the elevators.
Upon entering the portal, she was right. I entered a new room, which resembled a different lobby. But this lobby had no exit, since this was the 4501st floor.
Approaching a white colored service desk, I saw two different Muses sitting there. But neither of them were typing. In fact, they both looked up right after I got to this floor. It was only a split second that I saw them typing…
“Welcome, Kyle.” she announced. “You are on the “Nerdy to the Extreme” floor. This floor is one of my favorites, since it captures who I am, 99 days ago…”
The Twin Muse nodded. “I agree! It was fun as we were just starting as nerds!”
I nodded, and looked at the elevators that were past her desk. “I would like to go to floor 4600 now.”
At this, my Muse frowned. “Why? There are so many good floors!”
Twin Muse sighed. “I’ve read the past entries! He always does this! Fine! Go to the elevators and skip everything like you always do!”
I advanced further to the elevators. I then sighed, and quite deliberately broke the fourth wall. The overly redundant redundancies have reached their limit for this post! Would you really want me to actually pick 6 to 8 random floors and stop on them? Sorry. It’s not going to happen this time, either. If you really wish to hear my discussion on the floors, you can visit any one of them by clicking on the links near the bottom of this post. Okay. If we don’t visit them, perhaps we should do this instead. I will briefly recap some of my favorite floors, after I have taken a few minutes to determine what they are.
There. After several minutes of reviewing all 99 entries, thinking and making a much needed edit over the older text, I have my list. It’s right here! I have it on my lap. Let’s see…I will put this in list form so that it will be easier for you to read. My favorite floors are:
Floor 4501 – Nerdy to the Extreme
What do you get when you have two extremely nerdy muses? You get a brand of nerdiness that would rival even The Big Bang Theory. Okay. Maybe not to that level but this is a new frontier in the camaraderie between two twin Muses that act like total nerds. What could possibly go wrong? Read this one, and whatever you do, do NOT touch Twin Muse’s mocha espresso! The foam is perfectly in the shape of Spock’s head and she will freak out if any part of it is out of place.
Floor 4519 – Sushi Reward
What do you get after a stressful weekend of watching nieces? For the next weekend, you get a sushi reward. In this one, I explain what this sushi reward entails. So go ahead and read this one, and have your favorite sushi selection ready to go. It’s good down to the last piece.
Floor 4537 – Going Postal
Since my layoff from Dow, I have been wanting to find the next chapter in my working career. In this one, I make the official announcement of the job offer that I accepted at the United States Postal Service. After more than two years, it is good to hear such exciting news. News that will change my life for the better. Read this one. Read all of it carefully and see the next chapter. And whatever you do, say yes to the offer. You will not regret it.
Floor 4547 – Avatar: Fire and Ash Begins Tonight…
When you have a movie as epic as Avatar in the horizon, you can’t help but ride on the wonderful hype train. In this one, I geek out about Avatar 3 and how excited I am to see it. This entry is complete with a few words in Na’vi! So mount your Ikran and begin your next journey by reading this entry. Are you soaring now? Good. I see you…
Floor 4556 – David vs. Goliath
In this one, I talk about a much anticipated movie from a timeless and wonderful story from the Bible. This is Angel Studio’s David movie and features animation that would give Disney and Pixar a run for their money. Have you ever seen such wonderful visuals retelling this story about David’s life? I haven’t. And if you haven’t seen the movie yet, read this entry and consider seeing a heartfelt retelling of a popular story in the Bible.
Floor 4560 – 4563 – Starting with a NESday Weekend/Plenty of Friday GoodNES/Plenty of Saturday GoodNES/ Last NESday done Quick
In this one, I kick off the new year with a wonderful visit from my friend. There is plenty of Friday and Saturday GoodNES when we toast to the new year, watch movies, and play games. Get yourself ready and read this one. Happy New Year everybody.
Floor 4564 – Going Postal – The First Day
In this one, I talk about my first day working for the post office, which is just orientation. Not much else here but a wonderful starting point. Read this one to get started.
Floor 4569 – Awesome Finale Done Quick
Okay. In this particular one, I showcase my awesome speed strats for my Me & My Muse run. I call this one the “easy entry” strat. As a fun reference to the Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) charity stream, this run, er, entry is a fun and entertaining read. And time is called when I read the end of this description. And…TIME!
Floor 4574 – Weekend Eve
This has nothing to do with it being Thursday night but everything to do with the new world order. That’s right. The nerdy Muses that I thought I knew were actually Midnight Muse and Dark Muse in disguise. How do I handle the new world order? Read this one, or else…
Floor 4583 – BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I top the original BRRR!!!!!? Easy. Have a day where the morning temperature is 14 degrees below zero. That’s right. 14. Degrees. Below. Zero. Let that sink in. This is quite possibly the coldest weather that I have dealt with in more than 25 years and definitely the coldest entry that you will ever read. So bundle up and read this entry. It’s a cold one out there!
Floor 4491 – Outsmarted
Do you like a good ending? In this one, the Nerdy saga comes to an end when both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse somehow get outsmarted. How do they get outsmarted? I’m sorry, but you will have to read this entry to find out! Go for it and know that you have just been outsmarted.
Wow! It looks like I had more favorites than what I thought. I included way more than last time! Maybe I should’ve removed a few from the list. But it’s too late now. Onward to the 4600th floor…
My Muse, having heard the whole conversation, grinned.
“It’s amazing how much you know about those floors!” she told me. “Especially since you haven’t even visited them…”
Twin Muse nodded. “He doesn’t doesn’t visit the floors, twinnie. He lived them!”
“Oh, I don’t need to…” I told her. “I lived them!”
Twin Muse smirked back at her twin counterpart. “See? He’s always the same!”
To that, she responded with a satisfied nod, and I proceeded to the elevators. I then pressed the up button a few times. Where are the elevators? With this many, I would think that at least one would be ready for me! A few seconds later, I entered the first elevator door that opened. It just happened to be the one next to me.
I entered the elevator and pressed the 4600 button. Moments later, the doors closed.
Several moments passed. At this point, Kyle decided to be a little more unoriginal and once again reused some material from the previous milestone entry. Perhaps he’ll make it a little different so that they’ll never notice. Just enough changes to throw off the audience. How lazy of him! Can’t he get his brain thinking of any more original ideas? But Kyle would have none of that. He is just as determined to bring this forty-sixth milestone post to an abrupt end (really, it’s his thirty-fifth considering his extended period of inactivity…). The good old recycled zinger. They’ll never notice! Unless the narrator reminds them…
Finally, moments later, the elevator arrived at the 4600th floor.
A little like the 4000th floor before it, this floor was an enormous room, lavishly decorated. A desk sat in one corner and a king-sized bed sat in the other, which was one fourth the size of the bed that was in Entry 4000. Pretty much the same room as the 4500th story, 4400th story, 4300th story, 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, the 2600th story, the 2500th story, the 2400th story, the 2300th story, the 2200th story, the 2100th story, the 1900th story, the 1800th story, the 1700th story, the 1600th story, the 1500th story, the 1400th story, the 1300th story, the 1200th story, the 1100th story, the 900th story, the 800th story, the 700th story, the 600th story, the 500th story, the 400th story, the 300th story, the 200th story, and the 100th story before it, only the room was the same size as the 4500th story, 4400th story, 4300th story, 4200th story, 4100th story, 3900th story, 2600th story, 2500th story, 2400th story, 2300th story, 2200th story, 2100th story, 1900th story, 1800th story, 1700th story, 1600th story, 1500th story, 1400th story, 1300th story, 1200th story, 1100th story, 900th story, 800th story, 700th story, 600th story, 500th story, 400th story, and 300th story and the bed was light blue.
Oh! We agreed not to meddle with the following paragraph! As much as we want to, we can’t. It just wouldn’t be right…
And on the bed laid the twin Muses. Muse and Twin Muse. Both of them were in their nerdy clothes and fast asleep, with a note sitting between the two of them. It didn’t surprise me that they were sleeping, considering that creating this tower probably took so much out of them. Now I’m going to guess that the note will mention that the computer in this room will have this entry already typed. That even includes the later parts that you haven’t seen yet! Am I right? And this further adds to the redundancies that exist in this post already!
Attached to the foot of the bed was a note. And this is what it said:
To my master,
We made this tower for you and us (Wasn’t that sweet of us?). This is to honor your hard work and dedication for another 100 days of hardship, bringing the total up to 4600 (Wow! That’s a lot!). Thank you for your dedication to keeping this project going daily (I too, thank you from the bottom of my heart). If you look at your computer, the last entry is already written (She’s not lying! It’s all already written. Aren’t we nice?) I am still forever grateful to your kindness, your dedication to saving me and your gratitude. (Thank you also for saving me! Your dedication restored the true timeline and now we’re both reunited as twin sisters!)
Love (Lots and Lots and LOTS of Love),
Your Muse & Twin Muse ♥
I then looked next to the bed and noticed a directory which was much like the 4500th floor, 4400th floor, 4300th floor, 4200th floor, 4100th floor, 4000th floor, 3900th floor, 2600th floor, 2500th floor, 2400th floor, 2300th floor, 2200th floor, 2100th floor, 2000th floor, 1900th floor, 1800th floor, 1700th floor, 1600th floor, 1500th floor, 1400th floor, 1300th floor, 1200th floor, 1100th floor, 1000th floor, 900th floor, 800th floor, 700th floor, 600th floor, 500th floor, 400th floor, 300th floor, 200th floor, and 100th floor before it. However, this was the directory for the Tower of Muses, only it covered only the next 100 floors. I looked at the directory.

The high today is going to be 40 degrees and the silver lining is having this 4600th post made.
To all of you who have ever completed a major milestone, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Just like entry 4500, she’s right! The entire entry is typed! And there’s that message at the end! Aw…How cute. I don’t understand how a narrator got into my post. Oh well…
Now I’ll…What’s going on? Just like before! It’s happening once again! On the bed! The twin Muses are flashing…
Having watched the Super Bowl last night, I am tired this morning.
Today, I will watch Mercy and go shopping in town afterward. That is pretty much it.
Today’s high is going to be 26 degrees and the silver lining is having one more day before another work gauntlet.
To those of you who are tired from the Super Bowl, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: I’m a little tired from last night. And that All American Super Bowl Halftime Show by Turning Point USA was amazing!
Twin Muse: Much better than a Bad Bunny that can’t even speak English! *sips coffee* Also, the commercials were pretty good…
After delivering Amazon packages all day, I think I’m now going to relax.
Yeah. I know that it’s really 60, but I couldn’t help but humor the roman numerals.
The Seahawks are playing the Patriots, but I don’t care. What I’m rooting for is the commercials. Go commercials!
Tonight will consist of the usual Super Bowl fare. Just a bunch of snacks with my brother and my parents. That’s about it.
Muse: I’m not too crazy about the game either. But I WILL watch the commercials.
Twin Muse: Same. I can’t WAIT to see the commercials!
Me too. Can’t wait for the game…so I can watch all the commercials!
Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is watching the Super Bowl commercials tonight.
To those of you who will be watching the game tonight, either for the teams or the commercials, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: I hope the commercials win. With so many people watching the Super Bowl, they better be good…
Twin Muse: I want them to win, too! Time for more of those yummy appetizers!
Why? Because today, I am not just seeing one movie but two movies.
The first movie will be Melania. The second movie will be an encore viewing of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Dinner will probably follow. That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.
Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is seeing two movies today.
To those of you who like going to the movies, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: You’re seeing a movie? Let’s go, twinnie!
Twin Muse: I just drank two mocha espressos with Spock on them! It’s a good thing I’m prepared! *sips coffee* Let’s go! I’m buying the popcorn and drinks!
Since I got up this morning, I have been getting things done nonstop. All the snow is shoveled and everything is all good to go.
For updates on the USPS. I have my training next week in Au Gres for three days. That’s three days that I will have to drive there early in the morning. Oh, and I have Amazon packages to deliver on Sunday so there’s plenty of hours to go around. That’s pretty much this day in a nutshell. Time to relax and get ready.
Today’s high is going to be 35 degrees and the silver lining is it finally being Friday.
To those of you who are glad that it’s Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Super Mario Odyssey is done! Time to relax!
Twin Muse: Right after a signature Spock Mocha latte! *sips coffee* So good!
Thirsty as in I’m thirsty for more work and I’m still waiting for an instructor. Time to get ready for the day.
Today’s high is going to be 26 degrees and the silver lining is having more time to think and reflect.
To those of you who can’t believe that Friday’s tomorrow, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Just beat Super Mario Odyssey! Time for the post game!
Twin Muse: Post game is my favorite! Time to finish Spock! *sips coffee* Yup. Spock is still good!
The wait continues for me to be assigned an on the job instructor at the post office. In the meantime, I will try to make the most of this day.
Today’s high is going to be 24 degrees and the silver lining is being able to get some errands done.
To those of you who like being halfway through the week, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are done! Time for Super Mario Odyssey!
Twin Muse: I will begin after I finish my Spock mocha espresso! *sips coffee* Spock tastes so amazing…
And what does that mean? Another Toastmasters meeting tonight. Also another trip to the grocery store earlier in the day. Time to get ready now.
Today’s high is going to be 24 degrees and the silver lining is being able to get some errands done.
To those of you who like Tuesday evening activities, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: With the Star Trek marathon done, we have now been playing all the Super Mario games. The 8 bit classics were easy and so were the 16 bit classics. Super Mario 64 was a nostalgia trip and I just got 120 shines in Super Mario Sunshine.
Twin Muse: Onward to Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2! But first, I need to finish my Spock mocha espresso! *sips coffee* Yup. Spock still tastes sublime.
After having to travel nonstop, I almost forgot what a normal Monday feels like. I guess this is it.
Today will consist of shoveling more snow and taking care of my paperwork at the post office. That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.
Today’s high is going to be 28 degrees and the silver lining is not having to travel today.
To those of you who are working your normal Monday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: And our normal marathon of Star Trek continues! After that, let’s play through all of the Super Mario Series!
Twin Muse: I’m game for that! *sips coffee* Ah Spock, you taste quite pleasant!
Today I’m going to take it easy and…great. There’s that Android again that’s going to enforce more hard labor…
Android: You are free to go. Leader’s orders.
What?! No hard labor today?
Android: That was their orders. Set him free.
Are you okay? I thought I was under an evil new world order.
???: Not anymore!
*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse appear*
What? It’s Muse but you still look like Midnight Muse!
Midnight Muse: You idiot! You will stop what you’re doing this instant!
(Muse): And what are you going to do about it?
Dark Muse: I agree. They both need to stop now!
(Twin Muse): Why would we do that? After all, our plan worked out perfectly!
Plan? Would you care to explain?
(Muse): Indeed! Both me and my twin counterpart both had a backup plan in the event that we were ever taken over by our evil twin counterparts by mind control. We still had complete control and were both capable of overriding their functions at any time.
(Twin Muse): So we just let them carry on their evil deeds with the whole world conquest thing. Little did they know that we were going to set things back to normal.
Dark Muse: No! How can this be? Neither of us could sense you inside!
(Muse): And that’s the beauty of the plan. We were able to remain stealth inside. Did you really think that we would just let you win? Both ma and my twin counterpart are way too intelligent for that!
(Twin Muse): Indeed!
Midnight Muse: But we still rule the world! What are you going to do inside?
(Muse): This. Kyle, here’s all your One Privileges back.
*Midnight Muse flashes and sends beam of energy to me*
Nice. This could quite simply be the easiest finale ever!
(Twin Muse): And it’s time for a blip!
*Dark Muse puts the Infinity Gauntlet on and snaps her finger again*
(Twin Muse): There. The half of humanity that was gone is now restored.
Dark Muse: You insolent fool! Stop with your tampering now!
(Twin Muse): Do you want to do the honors, my twin counterpart?
(Muse): Certainly! Both you and Dark Muse are no longer permitted to inhabit the construct of our neural network. Extricate yourselves from both of us at once!
Midnight Muse: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOO!!!!
Dark Muse: THIS CAN’T BE!!!!
*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse flash, leaving Muse and Twin Muse, which transform back to their original forms*
Muse: Do you want to do the honors, Kyle?
Certainly. Midnight Muse and Dark Muse, both of you are banished from earth. One Privilege, ENGAGE!
Midnight Muse: This isn’t the last of us!
Dark Muse: For certain, it won’t be!
*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse vanish in a cloud of smoke*
Muse: There’s something that still needs to be done. I don’t know about you, my twin counterpart but I am not too fond of an iron fisted dictatorship over this whole world. There is not a single house anywhere but only large apartment complexes. Our mansion is the only real house that exists.
Twin Muse: Indeed. A construct of communism is not suitable for the original state of this planet. Kyle, I think you can take things from here.
And I will. Everything in this world is back to normal. One Privilege, ENGAGE!
*world flashes and everything is back to normal*
There. What a nice end to this story arc. Time to get ready!
Muse: And we will return to our Star Trek Marathon where we left off!
Twin Muse: Not before I order another mocha espresso that the barista WILL make in the shape of Spock’s head! Spock espresso, here I come!
*both Muse and Twin Muse vanish in a beam of light*
Well, it’s time for me to get ready and enjoy the rest of this day. The lazy weekend continues now.
Today’s high is going to be 25 degrees and the silver lining is having another day to relax.
To those of you who are enjoying your Sunday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Time to continue the Star Trek marathon! I have have all the snacks curated!
Twin Muse: And I have my Spock espresso! *sips coffee* Ah Spock. You taste just as good as I remembered. Commence the next episode!
With that, it’s now officially time for day four of my training. This is the last day and I get to spend it outside in the frigid cold. Mock deliveries and other fun things before my training concludes. Time to do this.
That’s all. Time to get ready now.
Today’s high is going to be 14 degrees and the silver lining is starting the last day of my training.
To those of you who are glad that it’s Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: All day in the cold? You got this! Dress warm and knock this one out!
Twin Muse: Eat well beforehand and stay warm! *sips coffee* This is it! The last day before you’re finished! You can do this!
With that, it’s now time for day three of my training. More instruction and a focus on delivery.
That’s all. Time to get ready now.
Today’s high is going to be 17 degrees and the silver lining is starting day three of my training.
To those of you who are looking forward to Friday and are tired of the snow, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Good luck for day three of training! You’re almost done!
Twin Muse: And you know what to do! Have the breakfast downstairs! What will it be today? *sips coffee* Learn more! You’re almost done!
With that, day two of my training has officially begun. More instruction and more in depth on sorting and casing.
That’s all. Time to get ready now.
Today’s high is going to be 15 degrees and the silver lining is starting day two of my training.
To those of you who are glad that this week is halfway over, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Muse: Good luck for day two of training!
Twin Muse: Don’t forget to have the breakfast downstairs! That was good yesterday! *sips coffee* Learn more like you did yesterday!
