World of Suck

So Janet, the third partner in Forsaken Filmz, is coming up for the weekend.  FF has an audition/BBQ to attend in NH, and I'd like to meet the girl.  So, she's coming up tonight and Andrew and I are making her a nice, welcome dinner.

So far, things are not going so well on my end.

See, I told Andrew I'd make a salsa to go with dinner.  I make a damned good salsa (right Laura?).  This salsa was beautiful:  tomatoes, red, yellow, and orange peppers, jalapenos and anaheim chilis, red onion, cilantro, lemon, and just a touch of salt and pepper.  And my secret ingredient.  Gorgeous color.  And a nice, big bowl of it, too.

Well, first off, I prepped up all the veggies for Andrew, including a whole shitload of hot peppers for the rest of dinner.  I'm smart, I wore gloves.  But the pepper oils leaked through the gloves, so now my hands are on fire.  And there isn't much I can do about it except wait it out.  It effing hurts.  A lot.  No, not hurts.  Burns.  Throbs and burns.

So, I then decided that I'd make some more sour cream dip for potato chips.  Well, I got the sour cream out of the fridge and I heard something shift when I shut the door.  I opened the door real slowly, but that damned bowl was just too heavy.  It fell out of the fridge and smashed into a million pieces.

Meanwhile, I'm standing there, barefoot, covered in salsa.

My beautiful, colorful, tasty salsa now resides in the trash can.  Not a happy camper.

And what's worse?  My hands now burn for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
