I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My internet is very hinky right now. I think it is trying to prevent me from bitching about incidental racism, which I was going to do in lj, but can't. So lucky you.

So I had a great trip to Phoenix, but on the way crossed through some very rural country, wherein I stopped at a Dennys (why is it I have had more racist experiences in Dennys than anywhere else?) for breakfast. As soon as my waitress seated me and walked back to the (open) kitchen, a chorus of "Ah-so"'s erupted. So awesome. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

Later on, they also made racist anti-Hispanic jokes, so I guess I was in good company.

I should look into some allergy meds. I've been choking on air. I coughed so much during karate yesterday that I had to drop out of class. Just couldn't breathe.

Now that I know my iron levels are messed up right now, the headaches and nap attacks make sense.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ugh, Liese.

And ugh to all the allergy sufferers. (Can you all just go away now? KIDDING.) What a tool your coworker is, Jess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good lord, Liese.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hasn't Denny's been sued over their racist policies more than once?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's horrible, Liese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hasn't Denny's been sued over their racist policies more than once?

Decades ago they were successfully sued over their policy of making African Americans pay in advance. I think there were other suits but I disremember.

Singulair was a pediatric medicine to start, so one would hope that it is safer than most.

Sparky, what happened?

Their main pipe to the street failed and they had sewage spewing everywhere. That pipe went in when the house was build (1934) and was clay. It would have been more expensive if it had collapsed, but because it did not, they can snake a new pipe through the old one and the old one can just be left to crumble around the new.

WHY IS TODAY SO ANNOYING?

I ordered a chicken sandwich from a deli I go to at least twice a week. The sandwich comes with jalapenos, I asked for pickles instead. On the screen, I see "no pickles, extra peppers" pop up, so I say to the guy "Oh sorry, I meant the other way around - no peppers, extra pickles." He apologizes and corrects it, it still comes up wrong on the screen. He says ignore that, that's what the computer says but you'll still get the pickles.

My sandwich has raw cucumbers on it.

OMG THIS FUCKING DAY.

Oh my god. Why is the world so hateful?

Their main pipe to the street failed and they had sewage spewing everywhere.

Oh man. That's not good. I didn't even know clay pipes existed. I guess they don't anymore, huh?
