Hmph, mixed bag today.
Pro:
• I got started on cutting pages I actually want to keep out of magazines and thus have pitched a score or so of them in the trash.
• I got a lot done at work in a relatively short time this afternoon (12 illustrations drawn and scanned, 3 placed in pages that were ready, all from 1pm to 3:30pm)
Con:
• headachey
• Hyooge crowd at Olive Garden (they couldn't even give me a wait estimate) forced me to opt for a convenience store hamburger.
• I couldn't get in touch with my cousin to plan a visit and dinner out tonight. Today would have been the perfect chance to go see her before Christmas.
• Insurance statement arrived telling me they're springing for about $400 less of my hospital bill than I'd thought based on yearly deductibles.
Oh, yeah, it's definitely my OCDest quirk. It just feels wasteful, because sometimes the combinations mean a small load, and that feels [because it is] wasteful.
I really should just do some research, reassure myself [or find out it's all a big lie anyway, and nothing is as clean as I think it is], and get over it.
ita + polgara + Santa's lap = awesomeness
That's a great photo, ita. I snerked out loud when I figured out what your shirt was saying.
A Calvin & Hobbes moment for you:
Attention! all rise! This meeting of G.R.O.S.S.
Is now called to order by the great grandiose
Dictator for life, the ruler supreme,
The fearless the brave, the held-high-in-esteem,
Calvin the Bold! Yes stand up and hail
His humbleness now! May his wisdom prevail!
Three cheers for first tiger and el presidente
Hobbes, the delight of all cognoscenti!
He's savvy! He has a prodigious IQ,
and lots of panache, as all tigers do!
In his fancy chapeau, he's a leader with taste!
May his orders be heeded and his views be embraced!
Oooh, G.R.O.S.S.,
The best club in the cosmos...
Heh, thanks guys. Needless to say, I've never been within shouting distance of a Santa before, much less sat in his lap. First time for everything. Also, probably, last.
I snerked out loud when I figured out what your shirt was saying.
It was kind of a must-have when I saw it.
I don't get it. (ita's shirt, I mean)
Perkins, say out loud what's on the shirt. Every thing, I mean, even the ones that repeat.
