Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It could be worse - I hate those insincere monsoons....
(sorry)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You'll know for sure if you catch them trying to slip hand cream into your drink.
Crap.
C) Putting up signs in Japanese, attaching ONE tacky, glittery chrysanthemum made of foil to a street lamp, and a big banner that says "KYOTO!" instantly transforms any downtown street into Japan.
True fact.
OK, I know I've said this pretty much once a year for the past six years, but this time I swear to god it's true: In my next job, I will not have to do government grant applications. I am willing to supervise them, but this shit is killing me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whee! That was a fun meeting. In that people fought, but not with or about me. Three (four if you count the cancellation) down, two more to go. Or something.
I also found this page of lovely portraits of London stage stars which I'm strip mining (so to speak) for my own site. Beautiful.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
True fact.
It's amazing. I should have known, considering last month a few streets around my building were suddenly China.
signed, a little tired of filming near my office.
Oddly, it's just occured to me that both movies are the third in a series. I wonder how often the third movie ina series goes foreign.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's like when you go to the Paris hotel, it's hard to remember that you're actually still in Vegas, not in France. Especially with all the hohn hohn hohn....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm almost afraid to ask why Dana's on vicodin.
For the fun of it, obviously. (My stomach's actually really unhappy, so this is not the true answer.)
Oh dear. This isn't a result of visiting the chiropractor, is it?
Not a result, but the visit was ideally supposed to remove the need for the Vicodin. Today is not my best day. But I have two discs of Wiseguy waiting for me in the mailbox. If I can get there.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Things I do not like about today (so far):
1) rain
2) sauna-like Subway
3) guy pushing me out of way on subway and woman hugging pole on subway (thus causing my hand to touch her stomach)
4) ita's head hurting
5) EXtremely slow self-serve copty machines at Kinkos
6) Kinkos telling me it will take 2.5 hours to make 300 copies when there are no other customers in there and none of the machines are whirring or purring or cranking out things.
7) re-creating work schedules for seriously FUBARd client
8) new jobs that need to be done ASAP
Things I do like about today (so far):
1) getting work done with Israel before I left home
2) Yelling at man and woman on subway
3) BK for lunch
4) being bossy while my boss is gone
5) green clothes
6) pretty new pearl earrings
Again my goal is to get these lists at least even.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Tell me about yelling at the woman on the subway, msbelle. I got so pissed the other day at this tourist slounging all over the goddamn pole nearest me.
