Urgh.

Someone remind me that I'm supposed to be editing and/or writing all weekend long. Or at the very least, remind me that I can't touch the bag of goodies I picked up yesterday at Wally World until I finished editing Heroine Addiction, of which I have only two out of twenty-five chapters done. (Yeah, did I mention I managed to cull the book down from an all-time high of forty-six chapters to twenty-five by chucking a lot of stuff, squishing some shorter chapters together, and rearranging the bugger? I find that in and of itself a major accomplishment, if only because usually I cling to every measly word I write as though I'll be able to trade them in for Skeeball tickets towards an enormous stuffed penguin in the future or something.)

But, yes, my bag of goodies. Which contains a surprisingly nice 400-page graph paper journal with a black padded cover, a four-pack of these pens which are some of my absolute favorite pens EVER (yes, I have favorite pens; I mean, really, the ink doesn't run too heavy but it does run consistently, I never have a problem with them cutting out, and they don't bleed through paper as much as other pens), and this paperback, which is apparently number five in a series, so I suppose I'll have to get my grubby paws on the first four eventually. Mostly I'm just focused on my pretty new journal and pens, which I can't have until I finish editing, GODDAMN IT. Grrr.

In any event, need to edit this weekend. HMPH.

Everybody's a comedian.

In response to my mom calling to schedule a vet appointment for the new kitten and informing the vet that -- for the very first time in the thirty years that she's been taking her cats to him, other than the Himalayan she bought me as a teenager -- this new kitten would not be a Siamese, the vet expressed shock, saying, "You bought them all and now they're out of Siamese, is that it?"

Also, my mother is allowing my dad to take her to go see Hot Tub Time Machine today. I almost said yes to going with them not to see the movie, but to witness her sitting in a viewing of Hot Tub Time Machine.
