And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hmm. Crashing through groups of jackholes in the subway always makes me feel better, but that seems unlikely to be convenient for you...

Yeah, that's definitely something I need to work on myself, and it will probably come up in my review tomorrow. Ugh. Maybe I need a small drink myself!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stand next to me, sarameg. Maybe mutual attraction between our cranky monkeys will pull them off our backs and we can get away while they're grooming. Or, they'll hate each other and we can run when they start flinging poo.

P.S. Am on bus. And tipsy. 0lease to forgive typos. P.P.S. New Jersey is whack.

Good luck! I hate reviews. Oddly, the more I hate them, the better they've gone, so far. At my place of work, fuckitall seems good. Which annoys me, in a global sense. I like my raises, afterall.

Good plan!
I just hate it when The Cranky appears out of the blue. I mean, yeah, I've got the apt issues, but they aren't exacerbated right now. I've got the stupid universe is peeing on my friends and I can't bend it to my will, but that isn't really this source either. This is free-floating stupid cranky.
Maybe I should yell at stupid drivers on the way in tomorrow.

This is a true thing.
...you're not on a bus in New Jersey, I hope.

I support that! For me, it's a combination of letting it out, and also realizing how ridiculous I am with it.

Zenkitty, maybe they're worried that a tenant's gardening or rennovation will turn up Jimmy Hoffa?
WTF is up with my co-worker waiting til I'm eating lunch at my desk to come in and give me the news (and many, many details) about changes to a component I thought I'd finished with? I'd been at the office for 3 solid hours without a peep from her, with another 5 to come. It can't wait 15 minutes?
Though at least tonight I didn't feel the grocery store was bending me over the checkout counter without any foreplay like it usually does. For $42.50 I walked away with:
• 1/2 lb. of smoked turkey
• 1/2 lb. of smoked cheddar
• 1/4 lb. of baby swiss
• a loaf of high fiber bread
• 2 tins of biscuits
• 4 single-serving trays of frozen broccoli and cheese sauce
• 3 ears of corn
• an avocado
• a big bunch of bananas
• a pound of strawberries
• 5 peaches
• 5 nectarines
• 5 containers of yogurt
• a quart of milk
• a big box of raisin bran
• 2 packages of beef noodle soup
Have the gas pumps destroyed my sense of financial proportion, or is that pretty good? It's basically a week's worth of food aside from soft drinks and a couple servings of seafood entrees I already had in the freezer.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Seems like pretty reasonable prices. You've left off the wine which is what usually drives up my grocery bills.

Alas, the wine, she no good for me. Though I did get a bottle of concord grape juice on my trip to the store last week.
