Okay, I wish I could describe the past few days as a success, but overall, I can say there were a few successes and mostly unpleasantness. Starting friday things just spiralled out of control. Moodwise, planwise, I just felt like I wasn't driving. Nothing to do with the great LJ outage, just life ( Read more... )

i went all the way out to gaithersburg and the ONE road i know of to get to the SPCA was blocked off for no apparent reason. i drove around gaithersburg trying to find my way there using my excellent sense of direction (which turned out not to be so excellent today with the rain, i thought i was heading west and i was heading north) until my ( Read more... )

i'm at work! that's what is unpleasant. i hate that i feel guilty for being out the last week when i was so sick. either way, i think i've spent more time in the can than at my desk. i just have to make it to 7am, then i can go to the SPCA and prove to them i'm worth my salt, and then home to nap before seeing the doctor again. i long to see the ( Read more... )

yesterday was a typical friday mixed with thursday for me. i got off work and went to the SPCA and spent alot more time than usual there; i got there first see and just moved really slowly and when the other volunteers came in they seemed to be in a slow mood too. the little old guy came in with boxes of chocolates for everyone. he said it was for ( Read more... )

yesterday i was going to quickly pick up a dress before i went out shoe shopping with dharshai et al. that was not to be; what was to be was alot of girl bonding and other people buying things. this was ok with me, as i said before i am not supposed to be buying things anyways. dinner at fuzio was really good and i enjoyed the conversation. after we ( Read more... )

alarm went off at 7:30. i rolled out of bed and almost directly into the car. there were alot of slow-moving buses between me and Gaithersburg. and one truck with a Calvin sticker - only in this one, he wasn't peeing, he was praying to a cross. i would have been thoroughly amused if someone had had a calvin-peeing-on-the-cross sticker on their ( Read more... )

up since 4pm yesterday! whee!! when telf and i embarked on shopping earlier, i thought it might be a quick jaunt. oops! heh. we went to columbia mall, and were both kind of entranced by shopping. she got half of what she wanted, and OH so kindly got me a birthday present: ramikins for making french onion soup. YUM! they're all brown, and scream ( Read more... )

if i had something to say about the past few days, that would be it.

last night we went to flanagan's and met up with cheetahmaster. there was of course, a random guitar guy singing folk songs. i asked him to play something by stan rogers, and he didn't know who stan rogers was. sigh. he asked me if i wanted to hear some ian and sylvia, and i said sure. he ( Read more... )

last night i watched sling blade; sorry todd, i actually really liked it. combine crazy killer with heartwarming optimism, and you get a movie i enjoy ( Read more... )

I just got to go to the 7-11 despite working alone tonight. It was eerily soundless on the arlington streets. The 7-11 guy always smells so, so bad. I got coffee and Tums. I think I'm becoming addicted to caffeine. But I was falling asleep, and you have to do what you have to do. So where was I ( Read more... )
