I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm on the phone with my credit card company, because the credit card website is offering me the ability to pay my credit card from my bank account with them. Which...does not exist.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

How can cheese bread sandwich ever be the wrong choice?

I can handle cell phone bills. I understand them. I just somehow still cannot get a handle on not overusing my data on them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How can cheese bread sandwich ever be the wrong choice?

That is my general feeling! Which possibly has led to some shrinkage of my wardrobe due to expansion of my body. (I was actually OK with the level of shit I got from this new doctor -- she was like, "You know these things are issues, here are two sentences about what you could do, moving on.")

Credit card company: "Huh, sure enough, you don't have a checking account with us. That's weird."

Me: "So maybe we could look into this a little more, to make sure that someone hasn't actually opened an account with my information?"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'm pretty sure "that's weird" was the extent of the response you were calling to obtain.

There's definitely no account associated with my SSN, so I'm sure it was just a typo or something. But yeah, that's the kind of thing you like to know for sure.

I'm also a tiny bit sad that I didn't try to pay my credit card bill from that account and see what happened.

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

That is some bad driving right there.

"A Brooklyn driver, perhaps taking inspiration from this Nissan Rogue comemrcial, somehow managed to drive over a concrete wall, through a fence and on top of a Q train at Albermarle Road this morning shortly before 5 a.m. The suspected driver fled the scene, and no subway passengers were hurt."

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

Now that is some world-class journalistic ass-covering:

The suspected driver fled the scene

I mean there could be any number of reasons the car was empty when the cops showed up!

Now I'm on the phone with the insurance company. All I need is a reason to call the cable company and this will be the best day ever.

Insurance Company: "Yeah, the FSA balance shown on the website is totally different than what we're telling you. That's weird."
