Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Airlines are so weird. I have to go to Ottawa next week. Chicago to Ottawa to Chicago = $1800. If I start in Milwaukee, where I need to go drop the dog off anyway, I go Milwaukee to Chicago to Ottawa back to Chicago and it's like $600 cheaper. Exact same Chicago/Ottawa flights.

Also: damn, Ottawa's expensive to get to.

Which is funny because, Ottawa? Why? I'm sure it's beautiful this time of year, but still...

Also expensive to get to: Shreveport and Boise and Cleveland and Idaho Falls.

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

Sometimes restaurant people get sticklery about the weirdest things. The cafe in this building has a half and half special, where you get half a sandwich and a cup of soup. And they also have weekly specials. This week, one of the specials is a chili soup, so I asked if I could have it in the half and half, and the answer is no. So I ask if I could have a cup of soup (on the menu) and half a grilled cheese sandwich.

Apparently not. Not even if I pay for a whole sandwich.

Luckily someone else came by and said not only can they sell me half a sandwich, they will even let me have it for the $5 special price. First chick? Weirdly stuck in her groove. Made me feel like Jack Nicholson in that movie I haven't even seen.

Oh, it's work. I'm not paying that kind of money to not leave the continent.

I went and got my nails done at a late lunch and was just looking for an image online to show the color - I found this [link] which... why? That is the worst paint job to put up on a nailpolish blog and her fingers look dry as hell also. good lord. Anyway it is an old L'Oreal bottle, the color is "Fleeting" and I loves it. dark red.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's what my nails look like half of the time when I try to do them. It's why I'm considering a manicure next week.
