At random ...
May. 7th, 2010 08:44 am-- I'm still not done with my
apocalyptothon story. Oh, wonderful, another story I'll be trying to finish hours before the deadline's up. *headsmack*
-- I almost wished I could reach through the phone and shake my brother yesterday. It wasn't a completely horrible thing, really. I picked up some chocolate and a gift certificate for Ruby Tuesday (it came out to about fifty bucks, basically the most I was able to free up) so I could make a little goody bag for my mom for Mother's Day and texted my brother to ask if he wanted to chip in. He texted back, "Did you already buy that stuff? Because there's these shoes online that she wants that are a hundred bucks and if we helped her buy them she'd freak." And that is an AWESOME idea, except it would have been nice if he'd told me earlier than, say, three days before Mother's Day. I wouldn't knock him on telling me now if it weren't for the fact that experience tells me he probably heard her talking about the damn shoes a week or two ago and forgot to suggest it. Ugh, that dipstick. *shakes him*
-- Speaking of chocolate, if I really did do that thing where people Paypal me money and I go buy a bunch of cheap Gertrude Hawk chocolate at the outlet store to send out surprise goody boxes, would anyone even be interested? It's shiny new chocolate from mystical foreign lands! You know, if Scranton can be considered a mystical foreign land. (They sell 12-oz. bags of chocolate for $4.50, and sometimes $2.25 if you don't mind a few of them being a bit squished, so twenty bucks plus shipping costs gets you something like five pounds of chocolate if I play my cards right and get a couple on sale. When I went in there for my mom's chocolates, they had key lime truffles, strawberry banana smoothie smidgens, and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake smidgens, which are like sex in a baggie.)
-- Hey, does anybody have a copy of that song that plays during the So You Think You Can Dance promos?
-- Still love SPN. Still giddy over last night's episode. Still can't stop getting all woobie-faced and slashy over that one thing that happened that made everybody made dolphin noises at the TV screen.
-- I have absolutely NO groceries in my house, unless you count nachos and cheese dip. I honestly have more food in my bottom drawer at work. I have the cash to go grocery shopping (admittedly, not a lot of grocery shopping, but still) but I've just been too lazy this week. After I get out of work (where if I'm not scrambling to find something to do I'm getting needled for not being in the right seat, ARGH), I've just been too stressed to do anything but watch my TV shows and go to bed, so what's the point of buying groceries I know I won't eat?
-- Yesterday I had an idea for a book prominently featuring fan fiction as a plot point. Clearly, I need to steer more widely away from wank.
-- My hair is not growing nearly fast enough. It probably doesn't help that I haven't been able to justify the expense of hitting up Wal-Mart for a haircut and I keep forgetting to check out the beauty school to see if I can get my hair cut through them, so I've just been trimming the bottom myself so the rest can catch up. I really fucking HATE this middle part of growing out my hair, honestly.
-- Doctor Who tomorrow! More chances for me to nitpick every possibly insignificant detail of a television program. Excellent. *rubs hands together Monty-Burns-style*
