It's the British. What can you do?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Kinda good that I waited to check out Sherlock because I'll be Sherlockless for a shorter amt of time.
Trying to think of ways to market my album for the holidays. Like many creatives, I really hate the business aspect of doing what I'm doing. Writing ad copy is not where my talent lies...marketing is not where my talent lies. If it were, I would have been paid much better in my dayjobs than I was. The Sales/Marketing people were always paid obscene amounts compared to everyone except engineers and senior management.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
A day without natter is too much, a day and a half, really too long.
Good: I had no anxiety attacks for 2 days straight. WHOOT!
Bad: A family we are friends with has bedbugs.
Good: Because of my past experience I am able to be of service and help them.
Bad: They financially are not going to be able to do everything I did.
Good: COWBOYS WIN!
Good: I got new black boots and mary-janes.
Good: I have some ideas about getting a job.

OK, I'm packed but for a few things needed in the morning, I think. Boxes scooped, catsitters touched-base with, shredding done. Still have to put out the recycling and decide on my earring strategy. Must get up early early early. Need to leave here by 7.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The actual holidays are going to be the least stressful part of the holidays.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I has a bread machine!
(I originally went out for a hard drive, but hey.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just spent less than $50 at Target! My other accomplishment for the day was to throw out the spices that have been sitting in the back of the cabinet for nearly 10 years.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Bad: They financially are not going to be able to do everything I did.
Good: They are in Texas and have heat options you did not in NYC. I've heard tales of people locking black plastic bags of stuff in hot cars for a few days and cooking the little bastards. Easier in August, but maybe they could store the bags if it won't work now?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, my sister just ripped the shit out of my drawing. In a concritty way, but I would hate to be a student in a class of hers where she's actually in her field of expertise.
She was right, but ouch.
And Burrell got to her hear whine about the strenuous hardship of being in New Orleans. Very convincing, that.
