I'm just angry today. There's no good reason for it. Chemical, I guess.

Things that are making me angry that really don't need to:

• supposed to see Penn J tonight, don't feel like it, and also am mad because he postponed from Thursday and invited someone else along. This was supposed to be my gesture, my effort to be involved in the world again ( Read more... )

Ran out and couldn't find furniture pieces I really wanted, so instead brought home $70 of random crap. Am trying desperately to stop self from buying new Harry Potter book.

Here's something weird. Just for kicks, I was taking yet another look at the 1910 census record that contains my widowed gg-grandmother and her son. This one says she came over in 1874; OK, others say 1876, and I've been going with that, so good to know. But it doesn't just say she's widowed; in the how-long-married column, there's a 3 ( Read more... )

Ah! The goblins have deigned to return my wine! They left it for me in the closet.

Thanks, guys!

I guess people are reading the new Potter book now. So strange to think it's been out only twelve hours - readers are probably finishing it only now, or maybe it'll take another few days.

Imagine being Death, and having the job of orchestrating a person's demise. Examining the person's life, habits, and plans, looking for an in, and then arranging events as necessary. Like setting up the two-car collision that got Dean, or making sure the right substances were mixed to eliminate Phoenix.

Having a morbid day today, looking around online at death pix of River Phoenix and James Dean. Surfed in there somehow ( Read more... )

Netflixed Happiness last night. Wow. Bought it last night, too, with a bunch of other stuff I may never have time to consume.

Trying to arrange something with Penn.

Supposed to see this guy tomorrow night, if he gets back to me, for the G&L Film Fest. He wants to see the Freud one, but I'd actually prefer that Merchant of Venice remake. He ( Read more... )

Had a productive day at work today; hit Lord & Taylor to find some decent button-downs, which I should have known better than to do. $90 per shirt! $120 for a pair of jeans! Kidding me, kidding me. Bought a little blood-red number and some DKNYs and vowed not to return ( Read more... )
