Oh man. Today kinda sucked, for numerous tiny reasons. Let's begin at the beginning, shall we?
1. I woke up at 2:44. PM.
This doesn't sound like a problem to those of you who have to get up early, but I slept 12 hours and wasted soo much time... I was hoping to get up around 11 or noon, which is significantly more time.
2. No emails from anyone at all that I've been waiting for responses from.
This was just sad-making, and also irritable-making, as I want a job, kthxbai.
3. Non-existent block party.
On Friday I was walking around my neighborhood with someone and a neighbor asked if I lived in the area. "We're having a potluck next Tuesday! 6:30-8:30! You should come!" I got excited because I like block parties, and I like meeting neighbors, so I remembered and told my housemate and we made a delicious (cherries, blueberries, peaches, and canteloupe) fruit salad. We walked down the street to the park to find... no block party. Sad.
4. Friends are busy
We decided to take the fruit salad over to my friends Loren and Pamela's house so they could share with us and meet Katherine. I called, they actually picked up (they are notorious for never picking up), and said that for once, they were too busy to hang out. So we had nothing.
5. Safeway does not have cheesecloth.
I'm trying to make a dumpling. Okay? Nobody has cheesecloth. Fucknuggets. Or a vegetable steamer.
6. Stupid Religious Fat Lesbian has parked in the parking spot I had before I left 10 minutes ago to go to Safeway. My car will not be in the shade tomorrow.
7. I grow hungrier.
Everyone who knows me knows this is bad. I decided to make orzo with broccoli, kalamata olives, basil, and tomato. This, of course, requires orzo, broccoli, olives, and basil. Trader Joe's is closing in 8 minutes. I drive like a bat out of hell. I notice that the SRFL has left the parking lot again, and thus the space is open. I will get it when I return.
8. Trader Joe's also has no cheesecloth. And no basil. And no orzo.
But I did get the broccoli and olives. And some Mac 'n' Cheese.
9. Safeway has no basil.
You assholes. They were out. But I did get the tomato. And the orzo.
10. I return home and SRFL has come home and taken the goddamn spot again.
Curses.
So I made the Mac 'n' Cheese. It was ok. Not as delicious as the orzo dish, though. Also, I had some fruit salad, and it's too bad those motherfuckers didn't have a potluck, because we made some delicious fruit salad. Oh well, more for us.
11. No one has emailed me, still.
No job, no friends. Boo. But I talked to Patricia. Yay!
Hopefully the next hour will be good. Then it will be tomorrow.
