Steph, I love your shirt in the skating photo!
That was actually a memorial/fundraiser a few years ago for a local guy who was shot and killed by the police when he was unarmed. (The sadly shocking part is that he was a white guy, because it isn't white guys who the cops usually kill around here.) He was a drummer, so the crossbones of the sugar skull are drumsticks.
My favorite ice cream store makes an affogato that I am dying to try, but we are always going there after dinner, and I can't with the coffee 8 o'clock at night or I'll never get to sleep.
Well, popsicle mojo not entirely regained, although I have a much better success rate with my older single-serving quick pop maker than with the new three-serving one, so I feel a little bit justified in blaming my tools some.
I promised my boss I would work this weekend. She wants "to see some progress" on The Thing by 11am on Monday. And she tells me this on a Friday. It isn't even due until November! Damn it.
I do not like my coffee sweetened at all. But I do like it creamy. I don't drink tea much anymore but, when I do, it's sweet and milky. Aside from booze, I really only drink water now. I used to like the unsweetened Smart flavored waters--cucumber, lime, and such--but they stopped making those when they were bought by Coke. Of course.
My phone refuses to charge consistently anymore. One charger works somewhat but others don't at all. I could get an upgrade now but I'd have to pay $50 extra and I refuse on principal. Unless I really have to. Ugh, technology is the worst sometimes!
-t, we were given a 3-hole one and it ended up self-destructing in the cabinet so....
yes, I blame the tools also.
I have had an emotionally toxic day which is pointless to try to recap.
My new seersucker shorts, though, are, in a word, awesome pants!
Also, I have made an appointment to see a new eye doc. I'm having trouble seeing and lots of eyestrain. My usual doc doesn't have an opening for a month. So I'm going to a place in my neighborhood instead on Monday. We'll see how it goes.
Huh. Well, two points of anecdata makes a convincing line of something.
Yay seersucker!
Yay! A line!
My latest favorite drink is black currant iced tea (thanks, Kristen, for the rec!). I love iced tea in general though and drink it by the gallons.
I'm thin. While I am improving my habits(less meat, less soda) I get many diet-karma points I don't deserve.(When I was younger, I ate some Blizzards, man, but I guess it only matters if they show, or someone thinks they do.) But I do know what diet concern trolls are like, because I was on food stamps for a bit, which apparently made my digestion public domain or some shit.
Yes, occasionally, I watch things on TV, and say, for instance,
"Deep-fried Twinkies! Uch, who eats that?" But I have been online long enough to know that my revulsion is probably someone else's cherished memory.(and I am that person to a lot of my way-granola friends, and vegans)
Every single food troll should have someone say "It's all she wanted(pause) after the chemo.
