I'm trying the red pie. It tastes like sugar.

My right arm is swollen and red. This is my fault.

My co-worker has dumped an assload of work on me that he'll review this weekend. Dude, we have a meeting from 3-5. When exactly am I going to do it so he can review it? This is not my fault. Neither is the pie thing, but I entered into that consensually.

Tea's good though.

This weekend ... I krav, because I am, and I hang out with friends, because I can.

Internet Aspergers.

Allyson, don't make me snork the blueberries I'm eating. Blueberry-filled sinuses hurt.

I finally managed to hack my way through the masses of crap all over my desk, and was just heading out the door to drop it in someone else's lap when the nice lady in the office next door gave me a huge serving of tasty cheesy vegetarian lasagna and a can of Coke left over from a conference, totally for free. In 45 minutes, cake happens. Also, my new hat looks fabulous.

I'm now feeling slightly guilty, as if possibly I'm bogarting someone else's Friday-ma.

Memo to Perkins's flu shot: QUIT IT. You're supposed to be a prevention, not a cause.

I have a shitload of stuff to do this weekend. Soon I'm meeting friends for drinks and ham (at a place called Bar Jamon), then going to my ex's party (I guess). Tomorrow is a big NYC volunteering day thing, so I'll be doing that, and then I have a Halloween party to go to. Sunday is homework for real, and then a study date.

you need to see it immediately!

Immediately might be a problem, but I'll certainly add it to my list of things to do.

The reason I asked is because a musical I did this summer (Rags) had a play-within-the-play with a Yiddish theatre company performing a song called Hard To Be A Prince.

tell me about your weekend plans

I need to draft light plots for Oliver! and Guys and Dolls. Someone shoot me now.

this weekend:

tommorrow is work and dinner with friends

sunday , no real plans, but a friend is haveing a craft day for halloween where you can make something to honor someone that has died.

and today I am off - so it counts. I am cooking a curried pot roast ( don't ask me - it just looks like a different flavor than regular pot roast) I was planning on cleaning, but mostly I've watched tv and played on the internt.

BTW, you can't get the flu from the flu shot. many people get sick after the flu shot , but that is becasue they got other germs that coincedently manifest just after the flu. and we know Perkins wasn't feeling well before she got her shot. She said so.

You're not bogarting mine, that's for sure. I had a really good phone call with an HR lady from a Very Cool Company (who doesn't have any positions open that would suit me right now, true, but is very interested in having me interview when they do), and I'm wearing a jacket that previously only fit me if I was corseted. Plus, I'm going to see Bauhaus tonight, so I get to dress up even MORE and see one of the One True Goth Bands.

link to wedding pictures.

I STILL DON'T HAVE THEM. (See, I told you I don't wear patience well.)

They're probably secretly reading my posts and prolonging it until the absolute last possible moment to send me the link and password.

Ahem, I may have issues.

Will you be going to see Bauhaus in SuperGoth mode? Tell us of your fashion plans.

I feel like crap, too, and I haven't gotten any shots.

Mind you I did get blood drawn twice this week, and have been off my meds since Sunday. So it's possible that that might be why.

Naah.
