When I stepped out of the house yesterday, it smelled like, well, shit. I actually checked my shoes, thinking I'd stepped in something, but they were fine. The smell continued all the way to work, but I'd forgotten about it by the end of the day. I read in the paper on the way home that lots of people had complained about the "manure" smell and ( Read more... )

Things are pretty good at the moment - floating in a stale contentment ( Read more... )

I went out to grab a sandwich at noon. It was nice, very springlike; sunny with puffy white clouds and a bright blue sky, too breezy to be truly warm but warm enough. And then, just before Shanaz was due to take her lunch at 1 PM, we noticed it was darker. A few seconds later and a freak and intense (though thankfully brief) hailstorm ( Read more... )

I slept off the remaining jet lag by sleeping until 2 PM on Saturday. I stayed in my pajamas all day until I decided to go see the (one and only) 8:50 showing of "Lars and the Real Girl" at Hammersmith Cineworld (for some reason, it's not playing everywhere ( Read more... )

I must have had some successful dream on Friday night because I woke up on Saturday morning with the solution to my baby-framing problem and wrote the complete episode outline before I even ate breakfast (yummy blueberry muffins my parents sent from home, but I digress ( Read more... )

The beginning of this week/month started out dreary, chaotic, and depressing. It was cold, raining, galing (is that a word? gale-windy?), and there wasn't heat on in the house. My sinus infection progressed and on Wednesday I was sent home from work after < 1 hour because I sounded horrible. I proceeded to sleep through most of Weds and Thurs, ( Read more... )

I don't know why, exactly, but I just feel like I need a do-over today. Moreso for my attitude than anything else. I'm coughing during the night for over a week now, so I wake up exhausted. Plus, it's dreary and cold (14/57 degrees. IN AUGUST!) and going to rain this afternoon. My finances aren't so good and I want to travel but it's not looking ( Read more... )

Shanaz and I have spent the better part of the day being unproductive via Facebook. It's such an addictive waste of time. And it's been a slow day, with minimal spurts of activity, so it's perfect for taking the never-ending movie trivia quiz (which ended when the page refused to load anymore ( Read more... )
