I dreamt that I was trying to run a huge food pantry all by myself, running around trying to stock the shelves and help people and I just couldn't keep up. x_x And there was something about a kid with a gun who threatened to shoot his friend if the cop trying to talk him down came any closer, and then he shot the cop in the leg and the cop shot him in the shoulder and I had to clean the blood off the bathroom floor. D: However, there was another part of the dream where Nick Frost was courting me, which was both hilarious and sweet and kind of made up for the rest of the dream.

Oh, subconscious. You have something against traditionally handsome men, don't you?

This waking up at earlier and earlier hours is probably good for me somehow. Right now it just means I have an hour and a half to kill before Minerva goes to the vet, and then I have the optometrist dealie, and ooh, I wonder if I can get one-hour glasses. Probably not, but a girl can dream. I'm also on my last full dose of Lexapro so I absolutely have to get to Kinney's today. And get milk. Hm.

But now I'm going to make icons and write. \o/

Man, my new glasses are super hot.



They match my hair perfectly, and I love that there's a lower frame, not an upper. They're so unusual!

I had to pay for them out of pocket, because the covered frames were, no lie, 20 of the ugliest glasses I've ever seen. >> But that's okay, they're SEXY.

I'll have them in two or three weeks, because the lenses have to be mailed in and then be cut.

And, bonus fun, I managed to fix my frameless ones while I was in the waiting room. Take that, Katie Baeder's ass!

:D

Indian food for lunch and it is SO GOOD.

kjdhdhadj my tongue is so happy right now!

Mmm. You know what'll put you off dinner? Looking up the pathology of shotgun wounds! Mmm. I've always wanted to know the difference between birdshot and buckshot as pertains to human chests at close range.

...that was a lie. And not a delicious lie, like cake.

Anyway, medical veracity is lame in writing. Nobody wants to hear about steel pellets being extracted from someone's belly. ("oh hai, lookit ur shots, also heer is soap from ur fatz!") I should be bright enough to either skip this or gloss over it...

The new Mountain Goats album is awesome. So, submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society:

The Mountain Goats - In the Craters of the Moon
If the strain proves too much
Give up right away
If the light hurts your eyes
Stay in your room all day
When the room fills with smoke
Lie down on the floor
In the declining years
Of the long war

The Mountain Goats - Lovecraft in Brooklyn
Someday something's coming
From way out beyond the stars
To kill us while we stand here
It will store our brains in mason jars
And then the girl behind the counter asks "How do you feel today?"
and I say "I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn!"

I am totally behind on my movies/book for the week. I haven't even started a new book; I might use all the first three Young Wizards books... I've read them before, but there are three of them! >>

Funny for those who've read them: I went to Kinney's and bought a big bag of swedish fish candies, and then started reading Deep Wizardry while I was waiting for the bus, and I didn't even realize until I was chewing on a fish and S'reee was talking about the bluefish. xD

Oh man the upstairs neighbors suck. STOP USING YOUR WHAMMY BAR SO MUCH YOU MAKE THE SOUND SONG STUPID. And it's supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow. If there's global warming going on, I would like to localize some of it to Clinton County plzkthx.

I am sort of exasperated over not much at all. Lose.
