Random day-type stuff

Sis drove past in her shiny pretty car while I was waiting for the bus to go to the plasma place. She waved at me. I wonder what-all is up with her. The Little Fayoumis ought to be almost done with the 2nd grade by now. Another few years, and he'll be as old as I was when I first started keeping a journal. I do intend to show him where this journal is at once he's old enough to appreciate it -- say, in his twenties, or perhaps when he's dealing with his first child.

I very much need to find the laser dance music from Ocean's Twelve. And, oo, hooray, Google reveals that it may be downloaded from the artist's website, http://www.kourtrajme.com/accueil.htm -- it's a ways down on the page, but oh, it's just what I was looking for to supplement my collection of far-too-perky morning songs. This is definitely one to dance to.

I'm getting far better at guessing what the movie probably is from seeing parts of it. I blame LJ.

Today featured new pens stuck to the counters at the plasma place. The one at the plasma check-in/compensation window in the back had a great big sign next to it, pointing at it, saying, "PEN!!" I was the only one who found this in any way surreal or giggle-worthy.

I'm also one of the people there who's good at being tidy and responsible -- when I noticed I'd started to leak, I went right over to the biohazard trash and held my arm over it before I actually dripped on the floor.

I wound up reading my jellybean segment with Captain Davidson (I do so love her, even though she started out as a hybrid between rosalynde and Captain Janeway, with some gritty Cherryh spacers thrown in for flavour) and topped off by sharing sailorjim's "On the Subject of Penises...", especially because there had been some Smut Fanfic by one of the new girls.

V dropped in briefly, and then we all headed off to Cafe Fiat. We're trying to be very good there, because it's technically a Catholic café, and quite a few of us are very much not Catholic. But we had fun.

V leaves Friday morning early, and I'm car-sitting again. She'll be out for five weeks; she gets back the week of June 22nd, or at least, after the freshstartwrite meeting the week before. She worked out her insurance information -- her full coverage insurance through USAA is $3/day, which is more than reasonable. And she gets to allow anyone she cares to driving access to her car. So I'm carsitting, and paying the insurance for the time I'm carsitting. Yay carsitting!

I need to bring the hangers to the next writing group. Yay writing! I also want to burn myself an audio CD of songs that will pump me up every time, and this one belongs on it. Incidentally, Figment seems to have very effectively hacked my self-image, because when I'm thinking about myself as I'd describe myself to others, I most often hear myself thinking, "the pretty Lunatic". Next on the list of things to hack is the self-image of other people. *plots*

I was very bad about writing this week. I need to get cuttingrmfloor finished. I also need to do my thing a couple doors over where the guy killed himself, and I need to put out a candle for that poor woman who died on the 1st. So much to do, so little time...

Housework... (Also, work nattering.)

I've got to get back in the habit of logging my housework on LJ, that I might be poked into doing it more often. Thus...

( the Lunatic cleans. )

More housework... Also, I get pissed off enough to think about slinging curses. Spam = anger.

bekithewitch, I do use these vile things in the bathroom, even though the best way to air out the place is still with fresh air -- it's just a little too hot for me to just leave the patio door open all the time, and my allergies wouldn't stand for it.)

Sorted out those of my bras that need mending. Yay bras.

Put away clean laundry.

I changed out the fly strip in the kitchen a few days ago while I was on the phone with Figment. I do not like heights. But I was a good Lunatic, and I succeeded.

There is now a shoe-sorter in the hallway. Yay, shoe-sorter. Next, I need to get more of those wooden shelves from Fry's Marketplace, because they are sturdy and good for putting things on.

The bras needing mending are piled by my computer where I will be able to work on them absently while I'm not really doing anything else.

I really need a new computer chair. The one I have is not an actual computer chair. I need something that is the right height for me. What I really really need is a computer chair of the type I got to use while growing up, the kind that has the forward-tilted seat and the knee-pads and the rocker.

Shopping list:
File board for fingernails (I'm growing into a vain little puss)
Shelves for binders
Shelf for hallway stuff
carrots!

Task list:
Get up early.
Hit the gym.

List of domains to formally malediction:
chatgirlnet.com
girlchatting.net

I also think that perhaps I should issue a bill to any business that I've ever done business with who sends a spam to any of my e-mail addresses.
