Well, I WAS going to go to the darkroom yesterday and make all of my Xmas presents and do the Bragg photos and the pics from Pirandello, but I only tried to get space yesterday and there was not any to be found. So, I had a day home, which was what I needed. I went to the laundromat in the pouring rain and picked up the clothes I dropped off about two weeks ago. It was at the bottom of a pile of about a million bags, and the laundry lady had a hell of a time pulling it out. I thought she was gonna yell at me, but we both just started giggling, and then she told me to stop dripping all over her floor. I went home and got the laundry I have been dirtying since I dropped off the last batch, and when I brought it in, I said "I SWEAR I'll pick them up tomorrow!" and the laundry lady laughed and said that I'd better.

And to stop dripping on her floor.

I just watched the most hideously awful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. MUCH worse than the Beauty and the Beast skating special last night.

It was a Nova that I taped a couple of weeks ago called The Unknown World, and it's all about all the tiny crawly thing all over your body and in your house and in your bed and in your EYELASHES (I practically clawed out my eyes over that one) and I just shrieked and whined and scratched and hyperventilated through the entire thing, the cats staring warily at me as though I was about to pull out an ax and chop them to bits. It was so grim that I ended up curled up in a ball in the corner, practically weeping.

Believe me, you do NOT want to see a giant close-up of your scalp.

There should be a giant warning before the show saying that if you have any kind of cleanliness fetish at all, NOT to watch, because you will never get out of the shower for the rest of your life. Except that there are probably bugs there, too...

I called my Da halfway through, and told him about it, and then he said "How are you?", and I said "You mean besides the fact that I'm covered in BUGS?!"

Remember how I had said I had this picture of Randy Newman as my wallpaper on my machine at work and everyone kept asking if it was me, and I was all insulted because he was in his 40s when that picture was taken? Well, I replaced the picture with a different one which was taken when he was in his early 30s, and if fact looks very beautiful, and someone asked me if it was me.

Alright, I give up. I look like Randy Newman.

I walked into McDonald's the other morning, and before I said a word both the counter-girls looked up and chorused:
"Sausage biscuit no egg two hash brown patties to go!"

I think I've become a regular...
