I knew that was going to come back to bite him in the ass.

I never really got around to throwing away Otis's bedraggled, torn-apart, well-used stuffed cow because ... well, he liked the damn thing. It usually made its first appearance of the day when I went to feed him, as Otis has the habit of leaving him sitting in the empty food dish. I don't know why. It either means, "Look, even my cow is hungry!" or, "If you don't feed me soon, I eat the cow!" It could go either way.

But I think that explains what I found when I woke up today, 'cause sometimes I walk into the kitchen and instead find the cow in the matching water dish, soaking wet and looking practically black. Anyway, I get up this afternoon and groggily stumble into the bathroom, and peer into the toilet for a long minute trying to figure out what I'm looking at.

Otis threw the cow in the toilet bowl, that's what I'm looking at it.

Random stuff

1. Premieres of my shows are this week! *squeals*

2. I need to go into the spare room and clear out all the crap. That includes taking down the string light hooks on the walls, taking out what few pieces of furniture are in there, and finding a place to stick the old carpet that's in there now. The first thing I'm going to do when I have the cash to start working on the redecorating (overtime, ho!) is putting in a new damn carpet. And I'm going to keep the damn bathroom closed so the cat doesn't go tramping cat litter into the room.

2a. Speaking of redecorating the spare room, I have the insane urge to save up and buy a flatscreen for it. Well, Christmas IS rolling around. It's not like the damn things won't be on sale. (I suppose I could ask my parents for it, but I think I'd feel guilty asking for something that expensive.)

3. I can't believe I have to go to work tomorrow night. It feels like I didn't even get a weekend. *sigh*

4. I've been watching the Ugly Betty marathon on and off today, and you know what I want for this season? I want Alexis to find a guy or girl who wants her for HER. Who's not using her, who's not dating her as a joke, who knows she used to be a guy and thinks that her becoming a woman is awesome.

5. I'm antsy about the whole college thing right now. I'm not so much worried about paying for it right now -- it's only going to be a few hundred bucks for a couple of classes, so even if I can't get financial aid or tuition reimbursment at work, I should still be able to cover it -- as I am that the admissions office will take one look at my college transcripts and laugh at me. What? I'm being paranoid, okay? I know this will in all likelihood end up with me making an LJ post saying, "Homg, I'm a college student again! *flailyhands*," but since nearly everything I've done in the past few years has ended pretty badly, my hopes are, as usual, pretty freaking low.

6. The newest Project Runway contestant is named Sweet P? *chokegiggles*

7. Oh, goody, looks like Heroes wank is on clairvoyant_wank and headed straight for FW. ( Heroes casting spoiler, although by now if you've seen a magazine cover advertising the newseason you've probably seen the spoiler. There's mention of other casting spoilers, too, so ... )

And counting ...

I turn thirty in a week.

... nope, still sounds weird.
