Ugh. Just had one of those nightmares where previously, I'd roll over, poke my bf (maybe a few times even) to make sure he was there. (Maybe he'd even sleepily toss a arm or hand over me) and then I'd try to go back to sleep. Being alone? It means I'm up at 3:30, making coffee in an apartment that's already at 82. I really am lame...

BBC calls it a "day of unrest."

no words of disgust or scorn I can come up with right now seem appropriate to match this _______.

Taking guitar lessons has proven to be invaluble. I now understand why musicians stereo-typically smoke pot. I now understand why they get so tetchy when you say that they don't have to pull long hours of work. And I feel worse for them, even, because I now understand that they can't ever cram.

My life is really weird at times ( Read more... )
