15 things that have happened this week
Mar. 7th, 2003 11:53 am1) I bought, cooked and consumed purple potatoes.
2) My tai chi video failed to arrive on time. Bastards.
3) I got a surprise CD mix from
joelle_van_dyne. Beaucoups happies! Loving it! A bazillion thank-yous!
4) In a fit of boredom and a desire to kill off some of the startup codes that have been piling up, I set up Colleen with her own LiveJournal,
abfabracing13, without her knowledge. We'll see if she uses it.
5) I came that close to purchasing a used audio CD copy ofNotorious C.H.O., but refained from doing so out of financial concerns.
6) Margie the Sitter agreed to continue watching Nik indefinitely, within days of announcing that she was going to be out of town most of this week to attend a funeral. This, however, meant that:
7) I had oodles of Quality Time with Nik, which mostly consisted of him grabbing my hand and dragging me off somewhere, while hollering, "Come on, Daddy! COME ON!"
8) Cricket the Deceptively Innocent-Looking Pit Bull snapped at Nik and nicked his scalp. Food was most likely involved. And yes, he's fine.
9) I had some not-bad days, for the first time in a while.
10) After working until 2 a.m., I was awakened at 5:30 by the carbon monoxide detector repeating "Low battery" at 30 second intervals. I refrained from solving the problem with a well-applied ball-peen hammer, because it is not my carbon monoxide detector.
11) I learned lots of new and interesting (read: depressing) stuff about the employee surplus at work. Ain't lookin' good, kids.
12) I've been craving Thai green chicken curry like a fiend all week.
13) Kristi attended an Intro to Herbs class at the local community college, in which the instructor tried to shoehorn a two-day course into one day. Only worked kind of, apparently.
14) I was going to do lunch, but it got cancelled.
15) I actually moved forward on a few songs I'm working on.
And that, I'm afraid, is that. I'm going to have to start toting one of those miniature tape players like the asshole with the lips carries in Amelie, because I can't remember my life once I've lived it. If you don't come out the other side without lots of stories to tell, you're not doing it right.
