Two things you should not see on a work e-mail sent by management:
"my bad"
excessive exclation marks

Yes, this does take a bit of the steam out of the previous post.
Damn the man, I guess.

Awesome comes in threes.

1. I'm starting a new job soon.
2. And my most high-up boss called me, personally, to say that I was doing a great job, and that I have a bright future with the company.
3. Then, the second in command gave me a three day weekend, which just happens to be in the middle of the most beautiful weather so far.

I lied.

4. I'm losing weight, and clothes are fitting better because
a) not living off a diet of chicken wings, beer, and potato chips (although I love them dearly)
b) making an effort actually works!
5. Parallel parking = not that hard anymoree
6. I feel bad for all the pale-skinned peeps out there. Summer begs for bronze skin ... which I have! One should not look as though they live in a cave.

I heard this song and thought of you today. It made me 17 again.
When the song ended, I was glad that we had met.
I was mostly glad we no longer talk.

I just want you to know:
I know I've said 'thus' in at least two posts now, and eveytime I write it, my mental arms are thrust upwards in an elegant yet questioning pose.
end scene.

Never thought I'd join this club kiddies, but mama hasn't gone in what seems like a very, very long time and thus, I stuck my finger up my ass to get some relief. We're at 30 minutes in and so far, mission boom boom is a no go.

I'm sorta ashamed to say this, and yet, so pleased ... I've been on a mission to see every episode of the series before the movie came out. Thus, I now own all of them on dvd.

So ... I sat and typed this on my laptop, in my basement living room while watching season six, part two of Sex and the City.

This post brought to you by wireless internet, and vodka.

Things I have learned:

• There's a certain kind of comfort that's to be had when you can pick up a favourite novel, or even a few of them, and just read from wherever you open it and still be entranced. This is one of my favourite childhood books to do that with. Here is the other one.
• It's also nice to be able to flip back between The Notebook and Mr. and Mrs. Smith and feel perfectly content.
• When things are going well and you suspect that you've been slipped some opium somewhere along the line, maybe you should just go with it instead of wondering when it will all come undone. Strut. Buy that lipstick. After all, you're worth it.

The other night I went with a group of people to this fancy schmancy "pub" that had lots of microbrewed and imported beers. I am somewhat clueless when it comes to beer this fancy, so I let someone else order for me, and when he brought the beer back to the table he told me its name was Alpha King. Only I'm going deaf and thought he said Elfin King. So this amused me, and throughout that entire round of drinks I would occasionally break away from the conversation and say, "He's the King of the Elves!" or "All hail the tiny King!" and so on. After about an hour someone asked me what the fuck I was talking about and the true name of the beer was revealed.

In a rare allowance of my nerdliness, I sat and watched William and Deanna get married, and gasped in fear as I watched my one true childhood crush get kidnapped. Ok, I guess he wasn't the only one. Whatever, you are such an L7.

*Just so you all know, I am crazy pms-ing and if you tell me one thing is wrong with anything I do, I will fucking karate chop you in the throat and spit on you as you lay there convulsing in pain.

* Verbatim memo I'd like to hand out at the beginnig of every month.
