This is my life and musings and whatever else I decide to write about in a day.

So Dee Dee and I went to see The Royal Tenenbaums at the dollar theatre tonight. The seats were uncomfortable but the movie was good. Very good, as a matter of fact. Jason did not accompany us but I think he might've almost liked it. It's about family, sure, and redemption, but seeing Owen Wilson crashing a sports car into a wedding whilst wearing war paint and tripping on mescaline was also amusing. :-)Poor Dee Dee was very uncomfortable, though - she got two wisdom teeth yanked on Friday, and hasn't been able to eat very much. She polished off a cone at Graeter's but couldn't actually gnaw on much of the cone. Her mouth was throbbing. I feel bad for her. Tell you what kind of woman Dee Dee is - she dropped me off to my car after Graeter's, and stuck around to make sure I got in it OK and that it started before she drove off. I really appreciated that. I do it too.
So now I await Angel, although we might just tape it and watch The Osbournes, or do none of the above since Jason and his sister Lynn have just started watching The Fifth Element on DVD. And how can you turn THAT off?

AAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKWork - ACK! Big, stuff, lots o' stuff - where the hell did all that shit come from? I got what had to have been half a mail truck today, delivered to moi. Weird shit springing up, and the two lawyers who I work most closely with will be in Texas for the rest of the week. Not to mention the fact that the dump truck that delivered all this work to me must've plopped down an equal or heavier load for everyone else in my department too.
And it's not like it gets any better when I get home, since the place is a sty, I haven't had any time to clean up, and Chip will be visiting for the first time on Thursday so it needs to look nice. Plus I have nothing to wear Thursday night for a night on the town, Jason's not sure if he's going or not, and Susan's not even sure where exactly we're going. I can't do much cleanup tomorrow night because I have a long overdue "girls night out" planned with my friend Dee Dee (rescheduled from last week), and Wednesday night's cutting it to the wire. (Plus I'll want to do my nails that night - I'll be seeing people I haven't seen in years on Friday, I'd better look somewhat swanky.)
I should be cleaning up now, but I'm all stiff from overextending myself with Susan's move - here, give me something else to carry, I can handle it, why should I scoot that box of books along the floor when I can pick it up? Plus I'm jonesing hardcore for some of that Healthy Choice chocolate ice cream downstairs. Perhaps a bowl of that before I tackle the kitty litter box. Or the soap scum. Or the coating of fur my cat leaves everywhere that might just asphyxiate our house guest Thursday night.....

Got Susan moved into her condo today. It's really nice, she found a decent place, good neighborhood, lots of room - you get the idea. I'm really happy for her and had a good time helping her out today.Completely unrelated to that is the mood I'm in right now, listening to Garbage over n' over and completely getting pissed off over nothing. I'm so angry that it's consuming me, but it's all for no reason. Everything's fine, but there's nothing I wouldn't do right now for a room with lots o' breakable stuff, a baseball bat, and no consequences. Damn me and my mood swings, although some would say that I've already been damned by having them to begin with.
