Dear god, could this day be any more screwed up?
Wait, don't answer that.
You know how I was going to stay home tuesday? Looks like doing so would fuck the week up even worse.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

This weekend did not go as planned. Saturday while taking a shower, the cold water knob broke off. While I was driving to get a replacement knob, the HVAC fan in my car stopped working. Luckily, I was able to find a local auto parts store that had a blower motor for my car in stock (last one) and I was able to fix that, but while contorting myself to get under the dash I put out my back. I couldn't get the cold water knob off without stripping the screw head so I'm stuck with mismatched knobs in the shower.
Sunday, I had to get in some work I had planned to do Saturday so I missed watching the Chiefs play the Titans, though in hindsight that can be seen as a blessing.

Sorry your day is going so poorly sarameg, I hope it improves.
ION, I'm a little concerned about traffic tonight since McCain is having a rally very near my house this afternoon. On the plus side you know what this means? That's right unlike you commie left coasters and north easterners, I live in a wonderful little pocket of the real America, a pro-America area of this great nation where people are hard working and patriotic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This morning, the bus driver missed a turn. Then he asked me for direction. He said he'd never driven the route before.
That's the second time that's happened. The first time there was a closed road the driver didn't know about, so I told her where that route was detouring....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My first bike commute was, let's say, semi-successful.
It was successful in that I got here, and I did not die.
But instead of the 40 minutes it should have taken, I made it here in just under 2 hours. This included 1 construction-related detour and a couple of bad-signage related detours, but still. I R SLOW.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, for me, Chicago was definitely defined by the John Hughes flicks: Ferris, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, She's Having a Baby and my impressions of Washington, D.C. or at least, of Georgetown, were reinforced by St. Elmo's Fire.
I still remember that I went to see that movie on my eighteenth birthday, my first week of college.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

He's not visiting my city. I must not live in the real America.

Yay for riding to work, Jessica! I still haven't figured out the logistics for doing that. It's only about a 5.5 mile ride.
I somehow effed up my back getting into bed yesterday morning. It hurts when I twist now. OW! I've been putting heat on it and I'm on the ibuprofs full time anyway. What helped the most was the bourbon my friend and I were drinking at an outside production of MacBeth last night. (Performed at the ruins of an old school west of town. Spooky!)

ugh! panicking. My vet is out of my cat's kind of insulin and the place the called the scrip into is also out of it. And he's completely out and I'm going out of town tomorrow anyway. This has never happened before! I'm trying to call some other vets nearby but am really freaking out.
