Well, the liver scan came back with nothing horrifically wrong
Oh, good, Matt. Much anomoly~ma to you.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, after my contract work dried up in March, I put some things I used for that job in a box. Now I have more work. Anyone know what box I put stuff in?

Bloody fucking hell.
I hate today.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What's up, Kat? Or if it's not shareable, I'll just hate today in solidarity with you.

Contest to write the worst first line of a novel via Andrew Sullivan post.
For example, the winner from the mystery category:
She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida - the pink ones, not the white ones - except that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those birds, the pink ones, and she wasn't wearing pink, but I knew right away that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren't.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

It's all stupid shit that doesn't matter at all but have me all atwitter.
1. I didn't get enough sleep.
2. Noah has been extremely two today.
3. The shoe store for Noah, which used to open at 9, now opens at 10, which I didn't know until I got there.
3B. Barnes and Noble is not to the West of the shoe store. Rather, it's to the east. 7 miles down Ventura Blvd proved that to me.
4. The assholes in Barnes and Noble's parking lot. I could elaborate but why?
5. The woman at the shoe store did NOT listen to me.
6. Noah's feet are average size. For a one-year-old. Unfortunately, Noah doesn't walk or act like a one year old and he needs the additional support that the larger shoes have but the little one's don't.
7. I didn't WANT sandals. I certainly didn't want $54.99 sandals for a two-year-old. And yet, I somehow bought them (didn't realize the price until after I paid for them).
8. The sandals are velcro which he will pull off in like a millisecond. And then he will throw them at the back of my head. Which he did, more than once.
9. I have to return these terrible sandals, but they don't give refunds, just store credit and I need the kid with me for the return. So NOW I have to take him again.
10. I can't believe I didn't just say no. I'm a fucking moron.
11. My library card has expired (they expire?). My ID has my old address and I had nothing with me that proved my new one. So now I need to go back AGAIN later to get a new card.
12. Essentially every errand I did today has gone very wrong.
13. I am supposed to be at cheerleading practice right now. But I'm not going. I know it's irresponsible and it makes me a disappointment, but I don't get PAID to do this and I have nothing new to do/teach/tell/show these girls.
14. I have to go to cheer camp, without kids because the school won't pay for it, on Friday through Monday. But really, it's only on Friday. Because Saturday I have a meeting at the hospital. Sunday I'm going camping with my son and my girl.
ARGH. Crabby. of my own making.
I totally understand if this is TLDR.
