Whee... I just got home. I swear to god, that cab driver screws himself out of a decent tip every damn time he gives me a ride. It's not that he totally drove past me when I was clearly standing next to the road, by the house numbers... it's not that he drove past my road when I told him it was coming up. It's that he always manages to offend me by ( Read more... )

I went out to dinner with my mum, sister, and nephews today. American Flatbread isn't the kid-friendliest of places. At first they sat us in a cramped little table in the middle of the restaurant, and with car seats and diaper bags, et al., there was a lot of shuffling and not much room. We were later able to snag a booth, though, and get quite a ( Read more... )

It's now officially been 72 hours since my last smoke. We now enter what I like to call the "danger zone." (It's exceedingly sad that I've tried to quit so many times now that I actually have my own terminology.) This is where the vast majority of my attempts have failed. My body is starting to get demanding with me. My throat isn't sore any more, ( Read more... )

I really hope that it warms up soon. I can't maintain this unemployedness much longer, and I'd really like my not having a job time to intersect with some decent weather. I'm not asking for too much, just the 50s or so ( Read more... )

I bet you're all thinking that you haven't heard from me in so long because I've been posting all the sordid details under super-secret filtered posts. Yeah, I wish. Truth is, I'm lazy and boring, and I doubt any of you thought that anyway. Also I'm way behind on my friends list but I promise to read all about you guys soon ( Read more... )

Today at school we did the funnest thing. The teacher split the class into four groups and we were given a puzzle to solve. There was a "tennis court" with 15 balls, and we had to draw three straight lines that divided the court into 5 sections with three balls each. Oh wait, I don't go to school... this was at work. Silly me. The stupidest part ( Read more... )

Now I begin to see the true value of this thing... it's too late to call anyone without pissing them off, yet there is so much to be discussed and pondered. (I just now realized that dim thumping sound is my downstairs neighbors having sex. I'm truly disturbed by this realization, and I apologize for mentioning it.) The topic for today is: which ( Read more... )

I am exceedingly grateful that this warm weather is starting to lift my spirits again. It is probably a combination of the delicious pre-spring temperatures, the fact that it has been a full week now since I smoked a cigarette, and some recent social interaction on the more-than-friends level, but this week has been pretty damn good. So much so ( Read more... )
