It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

shockingly my therapist hasn't suggested hard drugs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to get off the sofa and go to the bank while it is still open, which gives me 2 hours. I wonder if I will make it.

Hec's advice is SO Eighties!!!

Hee.

I got a few worky related things done yesterday, booked the return M flight to PA and was useless the rest of the day. My headache turned into a major migraine, and I doubles up on my Ambien (bad med taker, no cookie) to sleep through it. Which I did. I have a mild twinge, but it's going away with coffee.

I have to clean this mess of an office today -- seriously, it's totalled -- do some work, write, and then go to my friend's casual bday party at a local pizzeria/bar tonight.

Also, re: gift buying? My sister persuaded me to sign up for Target's Red Debit card, AIFG!! You don't have to add money to it; it connects to your bank account so you just swipe it at Target and have 5% off your total purchases every time, and when you use it on-line, you get free regular shipping. FREE SHIPPING! There's no fee. I love it like fire. I've already ordered my in-law's gifts that way; the first one arrived yesterday, and I ordered it on Monday.

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

Can someone explain to me Korean Tacos? There's a place opening by work on Monday!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Tortillas filled with meat or tofu in a Korean-style sauce, topped with shredded cabbage and carrots and onions and stuff, I think.

Bulgogi tacos, Tom!

..I'm so hungry, but having brunch in 45 minutes. Or so. Hmm.

I was supposed to have FACE LASERS today (yes, I hear it in all caps in my head) but then the doctor who was supposed to give the sign-off wasn't there. Oops. So they gave me a free peel instead, and rescheduled the FACE LASER.

I also need to clean. I don't get it... The house was clean last week, so what happened?

Dark Brownies. They're the Dark Elf equivalent of regular helpful Brownies -- they actually bring in the trash from other houses to mess yours up....

That makes a scary amount of sense, Theo.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dark Brownies. They're the Dark Elf equivalent of regular helpful Brownies -- they actually bring in the trash from other houses to mess yours up....

I'm convinced -- convinced, I say! -- that people break in to our house during the day (which is not so funny any more, based on my neighborhood's new trend of crime) and cook food and eat it off our dishes and then leave the dirty dishes in our sink. But here's the kicker: the amount of food in our fridge stays the same, so I can only assume the dirty-dish-criminals BRING THEIR OWN FOOD, prepare it in OUR dishes, and eat it from OUR dishes. Otherwise, if they were eating our food, the fridge would empty out. But it doesn't! So CLEARLY they are bringing their own food for the sole purpose of dirtying up all our dishes.

There can be NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

Sick, man. Just sick.
