With the disappointments of the day piling up, I got pretty drunk this evening. Some might say I am still so. And since I skipped dinner, I thought I might eat a sausage that I had in the fridge. So I cooked said sausage and tried to eat it, only to have my temporary crown pop right out of my mouth. This feels like a metaphor for my life somehow, even though I'm not sure what it means. Perhaps I should continue to get drunker.

In fact, every single member of the Zmayhem had a shitty day (though not as shitty a day as Tom had in the teacups o'doom).
Poor Emmett and all of you. Can it be a valuable lesson about peer pressure? Or maybe just a valuable lesson about cheesy puffs. Yeah, that seems more likely.
Perhaps I should continue to get drunker.
Another valuable lesson! I shall emulate it.
Sorry to everyone who had/is having a crappy day.

Good grief! That's suckage right there. Though I hope, if it's a temp crown, you at least have a dentist and plans to replace?

oh damn. That does suck Cor. Drunker seems like a sane option.
I'm still awake, for unknown reasons. I think I just reread a chunk of bureaucracy again.

Yay for jeans, Kat! You got ours, right? With the puck for Noah? Sorry about the not sleeping. I am up because I`m still amped from the Blackhawks game, which I just saw just now after the roommate`s folks left for the hotel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Corwood. I hope the morning looks better, although a hangover and still-lost temp crown doesn't necessarily bode well...
I have writing group tomorrow and nothing written. DOH.
Kat, I can't get over how many different things you have going on. I should be more inspired, probably, but it just makes me tired to think about!

I'm flying next week with carryon luggage only for the first time in a long time, and I'm wondering what the rules are for transporting foodstuffs (domestically). Would something like jam - in an unopened manufacturer's jar - count as a liquid/gel? Of course the TSA web page is no help at all.

I think it would be a toss-up, depending on who the TSA employee you're in front of is. I don't know if I'd risk it.

Oh. I found it. No jam, salad dressing or snowglobes. But I could bring a cake or pie carryon. Michael is now contemplating explosive pies. [link]
