Siddity in the City

I don’t know why I titled this post “Welcome to Woop Woop.” It’s been a crazy day, I can do what I want.

I woke this morning from a dream that I was in a musical adventuring duo with my boss, and let me tell you, that’s fricken’ weird. Dreams about the boss are never good, even when they’re not bad. I need to spend less time thinking of work, clearly.

The whole eHarmony thing is just starting to look up. There are a few guys on there with genuine wit, solid education, and no children who–GASP!–are actually engaging me in “guided communication.” I hesitate to get my hopes up, but at least I’m not lamenting my $14/month investment (yet)!

I’m going to stay out late on Sunday and see a friend’s band. That doesn’t sound all that crazy, but I assure you, I’m not inclined to do this sort of thing anymore. But he invited me to a show before and I passed then, so I’m worried if I pass again he’ll think I’m blowing him off (I’m not. I just don’t want to be on the west side of town after 8 pm if I can help it, because it is a right pain in the ass to get back without spending money on a cab or investing a good hour plus in the effort. This show starts at 10p. Cab.). I’m already looking forward to getting myself home and tucking in with a book and a glass of Penfold’s shiraz/cab blend after.

Oh, remember this? Guess who sent me a message today!

I’ve lost another pound. I’m at 185.25 now. Not that much lost since my last post, but when you consider that I have a) only been to the gym four times in the last three weeks and b) I haven’t changed a single thing about the way I have been eating, and in fact have done more eating and drinking out than usual thanks to work, it’s practically miraculous.

This evening, I took a slight diversion from my regular route to pick up a soda. I saw a madman cursing at strangers and shoulder-checking the local flora to prove his manhood as I approached the shop. Naturally, he turned just as I was trying to sneak by him and began to profess his infatuation. Dude, you smacked a sapling and you were talking to yourself. Do I want a date? Paaassssss.

I hurried along into my favorite cupcake shop. The kid behind the counter immediately launched into a tale of woe involving his mom, a bus, and a 15 minute commute. Very, very odd. AND they were all out of red velvet.

I should have stayed home today. Or bought a cat. I’ve been thinking I would very much like to have a cat. In fact, I unabashedly want this exact cat:

Thanks, Amanda!

Oh, and Sov, is there less crazy in Tey-has? Because if so, I’m there. ASAP.

Sigh.

Happy Friday, kids.
