Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Haven't seen it yet, ita.

I just managed to give myself a papercut that bled through the first bandaid I put on it.

Ow! A coworker was holding her hand out to me the other day after giving herself a papercut -- with cardboard -- right under her nail. I was like, Dude, do you want me to kiss it? Because that was really the only thing I could think of, the way she was holding her hand out!

Ouch, cardboard cuts! Just about as bad as manila folder cuts, which I've had waaay too many times.

Weekend: finish making a new cover for an umbrella, do some alterations to some clothes, go to Ye Olde Spooky Club, take a look at the line edits on my manuscript (and possibly freak out, I dunno), and be part of a gothy-goth photo shoot on Sunday.

Why didn't anyone tell me not to watch Grey's this week?

Why shouldn't you have watched it? Should I/we also not watch it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People who aren't me should be just fine, Perkins. You'll see.

It was a couple of sheets for the futon. And I'm guessing I'm out $50. I'll talk to the company and my credit card company, because I'm pretty sure the USPS will do jack shit. I talked to a neighbor and she's had multiple packages disappear because apparently, the carrier is fucking leaving them out in the open, even after repeatedly being asked not to. Or she's stealing them.

Anyway, I need to talk to the company anyway, because I want to know how much credit card info was in the package. If there was any, I'll get a new card #. Grrr.

Pissy pissy pissy.

And I still don't have new sheets to cover the futon.

What are people doing this weekend?

Vegas baby!

Actually, I'll be darker than dark for the next ten days as I hike my way through canyon country: Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon.

So. Excited.

Okay

Have Fun, Megan.

Sorry for the sucky, Sarameg

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Vegas baby!

At first I read this as Vegan baby! and went, huh? Then I read it correctly and seethed with jealousy.

And now that I recall the entire rest of your trip, I seethe all the more.

Whiniest first-world whine in the history of over-entitled snivelry: Today there was birthday cake in the office around the corner. My officemate offered me part of her slice, but I said no thanks because I greedily wanted an entire slice. Then, when I went to get one, it was all gone. Adding insult to the complete non-injury of the cake I had no right to in the first place and wouldn't have missed if I hadn't known about it, all the wastebaskets in all the offices of all the doctors I work for are full of slices of half-eaten cake because the person who cut it made the slices too big.

I'm going to have to stop off at Just Desserts with Matilda to get an eclair of sulky vengeance, or something.
