Headache & A Pain In My Ass
► God, I've been groggy and have had a headache ever since I woke up this morning...
A few days ago my brother called me up to chit chat. Sometimes I'll go months without hearing from him before he calls me up out of the blue just to chat. And each time he then calls me back within a week to ask me to house and dog sit. I'm amused that he must think I don't notice the routine, or his cunning plan to make it appear that he doesn't just contact me when he needs a favour. Luckily this time it's just for one night, this Saturday (he and my sister-in-law had to go to a baseball game in Toronto apparently). He'll pick me up early in the afternoon and drive me home when he gets back Sunday night. Why they don't just ask his in-laws to look after the dog for one night, I don't know.
I really have no interest in doing it, but it's just one night, so what the hell. One of these days I should just flat out ask him when he wants me to house sit when I get one of his preliminary phone calls.
► [rant] I was furious earlier. After waking up around 6:00am, I spent the entire morning anxiously checking and waiting and worrying about whether any of those 3 delayed and missing packages I mentioned yesterday would finally be delivered. Each time I thought I heard a noise I'd rush to the front window and check my door. No such luck.
Imagine my ire when the regular mailman buzzed the apartment around 1:00pm and gave me the regular mail along with a failure-to-deliver notice card that was apparently filled out by the delivery truck guy this morning. Now I can understand and appreciate if they were able to deliver the package because the road was blocked by the jackasses across the street moving junk around (they've been at it for a week now), but I was royally pissed off when I saw that the reason for the delivery failure was marked as "no response".
That actually offended me as an obsessive compulsive shut-in. I know they never came to the building, so I know they made no actual attempt. No one knocked on my door, and no one buzzed the apartment. Anyway, the delivery guys never do either when they bring parcels successfully, they always just sneak into the building and place the parcel against my front door on the interior landing. I know that because I've watched them do it several times, slipping in and out on tiptoe (and I'm not kidding). So I find it doubly insulting that it's been insinuated that I didn't answer them when they never showed up at all.
The crap part of this is I now have to go to the post office tomorrow afternoon to get my package, which is always an ordeal because I don't have a driver's licence. This means I have to bring bills and paper documents that show my name and the address. To make matters worse, my nerves are crap and I have the above mentioned headache. Guh.
I also have no idea what parcel it is. Is it one of the 3 missing packages? All of them? Or is it a more recent package? I should take some ibuprofen... [/rant]

Speaking of which...
► Scarlett Johansson Fighting Mad Over Leaked Nude Pics - What's that?"...sultry X-rated pics of the sex symbol..."
X-rated? One boob shot and a butt shot? They're barely R-rated. Oh you crazy hyperbolic media you!
► Sideshow Collectibles: Captain America - The First Avenger 12 inch Figure - Add this to the ever growing list of things I want but will never be able to get. Actually, add Scarlett Johansson to that list too, now that I think about it.
