Ugh

- had my faith in the youth of tomorrow shattered. No, some people ARE NOT "just kinda nice" in real person, despite their online personas being complete asshattery. Jeez! Oh well, time teaches everyone.

- Also pretty not thrilled about MY vacation plans being disseminated. I really don't give a flying fuck WHAT everyone else does now, and maybe I WON'T make room for people after all. And HELL NO do I want to change my ideal plans now. I think I'll just spend time with my pet LIKE I PLANNED, and not worry about anyone else's stuff. Not that I don't miss someone fiercely, I can't believe how much I do right now.

- I think the worst day of the year is Xmas eve. All the rampant capitalism. never more rude and annoying shoppers. I went out to get food and look for some filing stuff, and got nothing but crap from stupid people (OK and food. Wasn't NOT going to come home without ice cream!)

- bored silly today. Couldn't make any decisions on what to watch, there's naught but crap on, and the ONE thing I got via on demand I ended up napping through! WTF man? I need to turn down the heat too, I'm sweltering right now. Tomorrow looks like more of the same. And they wonder why I wanted to work Monday. I need to rest, but I'm also bored silly.

- I wonder if I'll see anyone tomorrow. I'd prefer not to. At some point I'm probably going NOT to want to be alone, and not be able to find anyone. That day is not today.

- eh. I think I'm going to try and go to bed. Although there IS a gift from TV on later - the first two InuYasha movies on Adult Swim, through til 5AM. However, since I own them, it's a bit silly for me to stay up.

- I watched King Arthur last night - quite impressive. Disturbed how much I think Arthur looks like CB. It's the nose. I think that's what started the funk I'm in. Getting angry at someone all over again at 3am isn't the best way to sleep. I'm sorry I missed it in the theatre, although I got the director's cut which is way more bloody. Nice. Maybe I should drag out Brotherhood of the Wolf or the Thirteenth Warrior (wait, I don't own that one. Must rectify that soon!)

Anyway, crankypants headed to bed. Dear TV, please return to normal tomorrow, sans all the crap. I'm praying for a L&O marathon.

Edited to Add: Thank DOG I've found some CI to improve my mood before bed. Hottiepants Vincent D'Onofrio

Not that it's not Xmess eve

I can indulge in Capitalistic activities.

*grins*

I knew sleeping would correct my mood. Still haven't decided what to watch today, so it's on L&O (thank DOG for marathons!) What I should do later is motivate myself to clean. For now, I'm going to sit on the laptop, get some of my client stuff caught up for the next year, and have some more coffee. I need to get dressed later and go out for a while, else feel like a huge sloth. I believe I'm dying my hair later as well, provided I have hair dye. Must check on that before the drug stores close.

I think I've found my new monitor. It seems just about right for what I want and the price is right too. I believe Monday evening will be rotate around to stores to see if I can find a better price on it. I could have sworn I saw something like this at a BJ's, but I also know I got an email from Microcenter about markdowns on Monday.

I'm quite firm in my head now of what I want to do on my vacation. I need to write it out, detail it here tagged so I can find it anytime, and start poking about.

Teh Unit just called and asked if I wanted to come for dinner. Eh. Not really. But getting out of the house, maybe OK. I think I'm going to go check on my hair dye stock then consider it. If I'm not hair dyeing then I need to wash it. Ick.

Yeah anyway, betcha there's more later.

Surprise Surprise

I go looking for information on anything going on reasonably Goth Like in Rhode Island tonight

AND LO AND BEHOLD

I can't find jack diddly.

Probably nothing is going on, or an industrial night whose promoters feel that if you liked ManRay you CERTAINLY aren't worth their time. (/sarcasm)

But once again, especially if I don't find anything, my money and I will be staying home.

Am I the only one with issues with that pattern?
*shrugs*

Time to wash the dye out of my hair anyway.

Oh-kay

Tales of the Weird.

I heard some banging outside, and people walking up and down the hall. But it was the *beep**beep**beep*ing that really got my attention. I was all "WTF?" So I got up, I'd been chatting and considering putting away my laundry, but I got up, finally put away the ice cream, and went to the door.

To find nothing. No people, no open doors, nothing.

I did, however, smell gas. Faintly. I figured someone's pilot had gone out, as mine does from time to time, and came back inside.

THEN I heard people again, the beeping was back, and NOW it sounded like they were taking a door out.
I go BACK to the door - this time my across the hall neighbor Candice is outside. The door that leads into the building is open. (my front door is techinically in the foyer of the first floor, opens right into the landing where the front door is. This is a comfort door, to keep cold from entering and heat from escaping. Or vice versa in summer) The smell of gas is QUITE strong.

Seems the beeing was a "sniffer" and the gas levels in the hall was high enough that the super called the cops and an ambulance to break the door in.

Yikes!

BUT. My nosy DOWNSTAIRS neighbor (who is trying to sell their one bedroom unit, for MORE than Teh UNit wants for the this TWO bedroom unit, and it's nextdoor to the Laundry room/sump pump. Yeah, not the smartest resident!) says that the unit owner was taken to the hospital yesterday. Well it seems he left the burner on. I'm ASSUMING it wasn't on and LIT, since I'm sure that would be a heat and fire thing, as opposed to a gas thing, but *shrugs*

It's never quiet around here!

Should get to bed soon. I need to put my laundry away first. I deliberately dumped it on my bed so I'd have to. I'd like to get to work at a reasonable time. First more water. S&S is now carrying Pomegranate flavored seltzer, and it was nummy. I could see this in an exotic drink. But it made me thirsty for more. Water that is, I only bought one of these in case I didn't like it.

One good thing

tomorrow is going to be Quiet. And I will get a lot done. I can't imagine ANY of my clients will call at ALL.
Yay!
