An Observation:


I'm pretty sure IFC saw that Black America was feeling, perhaps, too good about itself lately. This would explain the "Trapped in the Closet" marathon they're airing right this moment. Clearly we need to be knocked back down a few pegs.

In the past week I have cried:


1. In Tiff's car while discussing child neglect/abuse on the way to DC on Wednesday.
2. When my friend Dan told me he was moving back to OH on Saturday.
3. When my friend Jaime told me her mom has lung cancer on Saturday.
4. After leaving my friend Gayle's going away party on Sunday.
5. When Obama won the election on Tuesday.
6. When my friend Kevin posted a message about everybody leaving flowers at MLK's statue on campus this morning.
7. When I called Jaime's house, leaving a weepy message on their answering machine, to check on them tonight.
8. Right now as I type this.

EIGHT TIMES!! What is going on with me? I'm not starting my period...so it's not lady trouble. Is is unfounded? I mean...should I be crying or is this something I need to deal with? I hardly ever cry and all this uncontrollable emotion is exhausting.

Conversations With Fun Strangers


C.: How can you drink Guinness...that stuff is nasty!

Angie: Well, I finished the beer list and by the end I discovered I love dark beer...

C.: But...don't you drink Miller light or Bud?!

Angie: No! That stuff makes me sick to my stomach. I need it dark...and thick. THAT'S...WHAT...SHE...SAID!

C.: M.! Did you hear that girl, she said she needs it dark and thick. I can help her, wait no I cant!

M.: No, no you can't. Unless...no, you just can't.

C.: Hey, J.! I need your help, she said she needs it dark and thick!

C.: I can't help you unless you want it "pale and asinine"!

Angie: So...you're more of a Mojito?

C.: That's it.

Lest you think I have simply forgotten to update: I have to plead my case that the Academy has blocked access to Sugacookie[dotcom]. And, by the time I get home every night, the very last thing I want to do is get on the computer again. Well, next-to-last. VERY last would be cleaning the kitchen. Hence the fruit flies.

Since July, a lot has happened. Wait...actually, that's a lie. I can't really think of much that has gone on. But, Marlon came home for a scant 5-day visit and tomorrow I am whisking myself off to glorious Richmond, VA to spend a week's vacation with him while he works 12-hour days and I most likely drool on myself like an invalid trying to think of something worthwhile to do that doesn't involve King's Dominion or The Confederacy.

I've recently discovered that Claire is allergic to the 9 Lives canned food she is so very fond of. She's been breaking out in sores that leave her temporarily patchy/bald. The sores coincidentally coincide (wow, was that redundant or what?) with those times when I call myself a "good cat-mom" and give them "treats" of "Tender Slices in Gravy". So, what else is to be concluded but that she is allergic? I am going to deprive her of her favorite food for a while and see what happens. It's for her own good.

The only other thing that has really been going on is that I consistently manage to creep myself out watching haunting/ghost-related shows on The Travel Channel. And whatever channel Paranormal State comes on. Damn, I love that show. Ryan - call me!

Excuse me, Facebook...
Including my sister's name and likeness in your ads?
I disapprove.

I've been having extra-strange dreams for the past week-or-so. The other night I dreamt that I was at a fancy restaurant with Brent and the characters of How I Met Your Mother. We were all high. I sat there giggling with Marshall [Jason Segel]. I was quickly falling in love with him as he sat across from me, studying my entrée. I had ordered fish but when they gave it to me, the head was still on and it was inside out. I cut into it and the scales were on the inside. I kept asking how it'd happened and then Brent pushed me and I fell out of my seat. I raced him to restrooms at the back of the restaurant. We were really, really high. I stopped when I saw a couple of girls I knew. I asked them why my fish was inside out and one replied "Angie, darling, have you never eaten an inside-out fish before?" in a snooty tone. Brent and I looked at each other and burst into laughter. I woke up giggling.

Two nights ago I dreamt that I was stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the night. My friends had left me to find a tire and it was beginning to rain. A jeep began to slow down, Edward Norton emerged from the vehicle. He asked if I needed any help and suddenly grabbed me. He dipped me and then gave me a deep, passionate kiss. When I was finally upright, Hank Azaria hopped out of the Jeep and gave me a peck on the lips. I shook my head in one of those did-that-really-just-happen motions and then said "Aren't you Ed Norton?!" He said yes and pecked me again before driving off. I hitchhiked home and called Tiff. I couldn't stop yelling about how soft Ed Norton's lips were.

Last night I dreamt that I went back to college to get a double major - Math and Rec & Tourism. They were making me re-take all of my old classes. I moved all of my things back into my dorm room and found that the Withrow sisters were my roommates. They were hooking up with random guys on my bed. I was pissed.

Heather Armstrong wrote a letter to her daughter that made me want to stand up and yell to the Blog Gods "Eureka; I've found it! The post that inspired me to randomly comment on the blog of someone I've never heard of before!" And what did she do? She closed the comments. Granted, the post is ten days old (what's that in blog-years, again?), but I really have to think that she must have just been bombarded by loving adoration from the masses. It's a sweet, funny and (seemingly) heartfelt entry (hey, I dont 'trust' females. What can I say?) that I think you should check out. So go. I even bookmarked the site for those lonely lunch hours when there's just not enough Sudoku in the world to keep me from wondering how many more pounds I will have to lose before I can fit myself out my office window in a manner streamlined enough to put me out of my misery. But I digress...

Speaking of black holes of despair...

I have recently begun taking 5-HTP as a supplement to suppress my appetite. Fortuitously (take that, Scrabulous!), it's original use is as an antidepressant and it helps you get more restful sleep. Can you say "yes, please!"?*

I actually found myself smiling like a simpleton as I did my work today. Ahhh, mood stabilizers. :) <---- there I go again!!


* I find punctuation in the English language to be ridiculously complicated, not to mention boring. Why can't we have a fabulous upside-down exclamation mark like they do in Spanish?!

All praise be to Google. I've wondered my whole life if I'm alone in being able to suck air through my ears when I yawn. A simple web search assures me that I am not. Hooray for eustachian tubes!

It's certainly a good thing nobody reads this site or they might think some horrible accident was keeping me from updating more frequently. Thankfully, that is not the case. Unfortunately, there really is no better excuse. Holy moly.

Marlon is now in Baton Rouge doing some Hurricane Katrina-inspired work for FEMA. Which, of course, leaves me alone, bored and pitiful with two cats, a hamster, and a Bonneville. Damn that Bonneville.

Since I have no friends of my own in Beckley, I am spending ever-increasing amounts of time in Lewisburg, slowly attempting to join my little sister's clique of friends. How lame is that?! Just reading that sentence - and knowing its truth is incontrovertible - makes me sad.

Also, our folks bought Guitar Hero III for their much-neglected Wii this weekend. Part of me wonders if they think GH will inspire me to visit more often. Which it will. Which is totally beside the point.

So I'm sitting in my office filling out a leave request and two gentlemen walk in to see if the walls need to be repainted.

Man1: Are you married?
Me: No
Man1: So we'll be sure to get some single painters in here
Me: hahaha ok
Man2: Well, we're all single!
Man1: Well there ya go. How about this one? *points to Man2* He's a good one! Gets more paint on his britches and shirt than on the wall but he puts food on the table.
Me: Well, I love food! haha
Man1: Likes to hunt and fish. Raises a garden. He's a mechanic; can drive heavy equipment.
Me: Wow.
Man2: *stares at the floor*
Man1: He's pretty young and has a 50lb box of "little blue pills"
Me: AH!!
Man2: What?! HAHAHAHAHA!!

I love this place.
