It's a slow afternoon, and the cubemates are chatting. Re: a particularly brutal video game: "I turned it off, because it was just too much. I felt better about my humanity, Game of Thrones hasn't ruined me."

Doesn't sound familiar, msbelle.

Leaving work half an hour late, so much stuff not done, in testing all day tomorrow, bah.

ETA going to buy ice cream on the way home. And the ingredients for sriracha buttered shrimp. Because that might go well with the open bottle of Gewurztraminer in my fridge.

I have not been motivated to do anything all week, not even walk. Work has been a pain, and when I get done I just want to be a vegetable. It doesn't help that my trainer is on vacation--no impetus to get out of the house.

so the song is stupid, but it has a line,

"It's my right to be hellish, I still get jealous"

and every time I think of Hellish and have to say DAWN MUST DIE!

I believe I shall stop by the supermarket and get some potato salad for dinner.

Schadenfreude: Bristol Palin is pregnant again, and "disappointed" about it. Normally, this would not bother me, but the existence of the Palin family in the public eye, preaching about what is right and what is wrong sticks in my craw.

She cancelled her wedding a week before it was to happen, and she hasn't come out to say if her ex-fiance is the father. What goes around comes around. Don't put yourself out there as a paragon of virtue and the arbiter of family values when you're just as dirty as the rest of us.

Wow. Have to say I'm not schadenfreude or even judgey so much as truly surprised that a Palin would actually admit in public to feelings as normal and human and conflicted as being disappointed to find herself pregnant again.

Aw! Good times.

Bailed out of work only half an hour late (oh, look, another meeting, on "no meetings Friday" and when I'm supposed to be in testing as my calendar clearly states), remembered that I had to buy gas and turned on Waze to tell me where the nearest Shell station is and it immediately asked me if I was going to the farmers' market so I was all, well, okay, I guess I am now. Hey, for all I know someone will be selling shrimp. No one was, but I did get apricots, strawberries and cauliflower that I don't need and scallions that I do. Went and bought gas. Went to the grocery store and remembered a bunch of things that were not on my list but that I'm pretty sure I actually need (ice cream was on the list). Forgot to buy water to drink either in the store or on the way home which was kinda bad because it is very hot. But made it home where I have plenty of water and got stuff into the fridge and freezer and now feel like I am too hot and tired to cook or eat. Maybe I can manage ice cream, but that might be too much food for right now. OTOH, I also don't have lunch tomorrow if I don't cook tonight, so I don't know how to resolve that. Might be future -t's problem.

Got my shrimp assembled and into a ziplock bag. My phone will tell me when the water is the correct temperature to add the shrimp. This is awesome. Maybe by the time it's done I will feel like eating, who knows?
