State of ME

itsallovernowIf I were a ping pong ball, I'd be dented and flat by now.
So last week I:
- Participated in a one week run of "Plague Household". When bad germs happen to good people. There was vodka. There was bullion. I can't swear they weren't combined. I can swear that I abstained from it. I've still got a cough, but I'm at least coherent.
-Did the dance of objects in space, or more specifically, couches in space. Moved the pee couch out of the house. Me: "This fucker is really, really heavy." Thinks it's just the illness. And the theraflu. And maybe the sake. And the lateness of the hour. M: "It's a pullout couch."
Me: "8 years. 8 years we've had this POS couch, and only now do you tell me it's a pullout?"
M:"Thought you knew."
Couch #2 arrived with the lovely scent of wet dog and the clear fact that it's 2nd owner had never ever cleaned it! Couch #2 was free, and already has been more trouble than it was worth. It is, however, three days in and still pee free!!
-Had a complete and total breakdown over my skills and talent with the avowal to throw the novel away and give up on ever trying to write. Said impulse was mostly rescued by the nice boy in my writing group who made an excellent suggestion. Said impulse was also quashed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crankygrrl's rage at having her role usurped. "You and rubberneck are the one's who finish things. I'm the one who gets to be self-douting and not finish things!!!" Loves Kath.
-Learned the consequence of not getting fixit tickets signed off by the Sherrif's department. Am still having minor panic attacks as a result. This is my own fault. It is still so fucking unfair. But did you know that enough panic about money and consequences will force you to actually enjoy the weightlifting part of the workout?
-Watched more Entourage. And for the world out there that doesn't reside in LA, does Entourage make any sense to y'all? Because I kind of want to roll around on it in glee, but I live here. And it's about here. It's about living here, about being boys living here.
-Did not watch Rome because I was saving it for M. and he came home in such a foul, pissy mood that I just got up and went to bed without saying anything to him.
-Finally took the car in to get the repairs that will allow it to pass the smog test, because while I may still get my license suspended over a free fucking ticket, I will not get arrested for stealing my own car or driving it illegally!!
-Tutored a million teenagers. Remembered the definition of "perspicacious." Still think "doctrinaire" is a dumb use of a good word.
-Did not watch BSG because it still looks depressing (the previews are all about the love quadrangle, and frankly, unless one of those corners is a pissy teenage ship, I'm uninspired by true lust in space. I may recant on this decision though, because the parts that I saw that did not involve the personal lives of pilots were pretty fabulous. Did try to watch The Dresden Files. I'm not crazy about the stylistics - the narration, the clunkiness, etc. But when he's not talking, the guy playing Harry Dresden is so my kind of hot.
- I have also answered one of the time-stamp meme requests, which was harder than I thought it'd be because I'd projected to years ahead in Blue Eyes, but not five.

Date: 2007-01-29 09:43 pm (UTC)(And I'm totally watching it when I get home. M. was such a nightmare last night that he doesn't deserve to have me wait!!) And besides, the title is "In the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero," or something similar, and as much of a big pissy baby as he is, I sort of love Cicero.

Date: 2007-01-30 04:40 am (UTC)\O/ for the new couch. I totally understand the glee at getting rid of a piece of furniture (or rug) imbued with the lovely, and lasting, aroma of cat pee. Wet dog smell is an entirely different ambience.
Also, luck with the car troubles. Every year I am grateful that we live in Texas and don't have to pass a smog test....whew!
