Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Today SUCKED. I broke my nail, tore my skirt, almost got into a car accident with a crazy driver, and got into a fight with my new landlord and now she says she refuses to rent to me at all. I'm glad that I know NOW that she is insane, and that she honestly wishes that all her tenants would die rather than inconvenience her, because heaven knows gas leaks are no big deal at all, but she has now succeeded in really making my life difficult, since I've already given notice on my current apartment. I am unhappy with her. Plus, one of the girls at dance class gave me a present for Christmas, which was really sweet, but it was a size XL dress, and really, I don't need one more comment from any of them about my weight. Especially since I may not be a model, but I'm not fat, so I need them to quit fixating on it. GRR.

I also got something in the mail from Kat, and it did make me smile for real, but other than that, today SUCKED. (But thank you, Kat!)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor Alibelle.

Hi though!

Hi, Lee! How are you?

I am still so totally cranky about everything. And also I'm cold and haven't eaten dinner, and it's midnight, and I'm just compulsively searching the internet for a place to live that I can afford that isn't scary.

I feel like I should add that my crazy cat, the one that thinks his purpose in life is to gnaw on me and generally act in every way that is illogical, must have somehow sensed I was having a crappy day because he is totally chill, and purring, and snuggling with me. I mean, he looks like my cat, but...

Last night I dreamt that some Buffistas went on a bar crawl in lower Manhattan in a snowstorm, and in each bar we went, we solved a mystery!

I've shoveled and now I'm sweaty and I haven't even gotten to my CAR yet. Feh.

not your mom's socks.

Backlit venetian blinds are a recipe for pain.

oh that sucks.

Kat - it is SAP! Ugh. Via Deloitte.

If you've already seen all of this, sorry (and a Too Much Information warning)- but maybe there's a way to file a different sort of grievance? Not being able to rely on your paycheck when you're working your tail off has got to be defined as some sort of torture.

"But district officials say payday will be different this month because of headway made by a fleet of staff members and consultants, including image specialists hired to get out a positive public message." (that last part gets me - perhaps the money could have been better spent.): [link]

"In Chicago, more than 400 teachers have filed grievances that allege payroll errors were committed by the 415,000-student school district since it converted to a PeopleSoft payroll system in March." [link]

I have trouble with bright light and migraines, but only when I'm already on my way to one. The only light that has ever triggered a migraine is the sun. However, that Advil commercial with all the bright lights triggers something like PTSD in me. The first time I saw it, I actually watched it all the way through and felt like I was getting a migraine by the end of it. Now i jsut look away and run fro the remote when it comes on.

This should be a TV show! Buffistas fight crime!
