vw- it's happy hour somewhere in the British Empire, drink away!

As for me... blah morning! Grrrr. Had physical yesterday, and by eating a stupid pop tart in traffic en route, meant I had to put off blood work till today. So fasting since last night. Then the waiting room took about an HOUR! C'mon people! I'm hungry (not to mention that pee thing!!) Then, when I finally get in, the vampire can't find blood to save her life! Sticks one arm, pokes for about a minute. Musta hit everything BUT a vien. Says sorry, then pokes the other arm! After doing exploratory vien hunting for about 2 min, she finally draws blood!

Where is Buffy when you need her!?! Nay! Where is FAITH when you need her! Grrrrrrrr.

Now I get to do more "A Christmas Carol" stuff (will this show EVER end?!?!)

/rant :: breathe in.... ahhhhh breathe out... repeat as needed ::

My father is taking us to see A Christmas Carol in SF next week. Apparently ACT is staging it as a musical. This is different, right? I know it has been years since I have seen it, but songs are new?

I just went to a musical version of CC, and it was all pretty much waissailing and whatnot. Christmas songs, etc. Though there were a few numbers, that at the end, I whispered "Streetcar!" in Tom's ear, referencing the Simpsons and insinuating it was very musical theater-y.

But a lot of it was non-musical too. I don't know if it's the same version. I liked it, and Tom didn't hate it (high praise for a musical).

Mom bought me these shoes the other day. Do you approve, Jilli?

A character on yesterday's Bones keeps calling Temperance, Teppy, which I am finding disconcerting, because I keep expecting to see our Teppy.

Mom just left for the day, and of course the caffeine is just starting to kick in.

This post brought to you by complete randomness.

I thought he was saying Tempy. . .

He probably is, and I am just hearing what I want to hear.

calling Temperance, Teppy

I heard it as Tempe, but I have notoriously poor hearing. I'd prefer to think it was Teppy myself.

My hearing isn't too good either, so I am probably hearing it wrong.

heh, awesome shoes, sj! You should Jilli-tag them!

I just edited my post to bring Jilli's attention to them. I love how my mother says, "You want those?" as if she completely doesn't understand and then goes out of her way to buy them for me anyway. They didn't have the size I needed when we first saw them at Macy's. But they're flats, and they're point, and they have skulls! I had to have them. I can almost never find cool, interesting shoes I can actually wear over my braces.
