Bitch

So blogger got lost my first entry today. I'm pissed. I'm PMSing, and I'm out of smokes. If it weren't raining (for the millionth day in a row) I would walk my fat ass down the hill to Collegetown. If I had any friends, I could ask them to take me for a ride. Dan won't be home until like 11pm tonight.

I've been smoking a lot lately--and during the day--something I've never done before.

I had a great sleep last night. Moo didn't pant. I think he prefers sleeping with one person .

I'm bitchy. I'm going to sign off now.

Fuck You Rain

I was extremely irritable last night stemming from a disturbing conversation I had with my father. I had already taken - I think three - of my headache pills and the special night pill that helps me to fall asleep. I also had some dark rum on the rocks. I got into bed to finish watching Ordinary People. I suppose I liked it, but 4 academy awards? This movie confirmed: my dislike for Mary Tyler Moore, my like for Donald Sutherland and Judd Hirsch and the future hotness of Timothy Hutton.

When Dan crawled into bed, Moo crawled between us only to get closer to me WHILE HE STARTED HIS PANTING. With a "fuckin' A" I was out of the bed like lightening. I slept in my old bed until Dan started calling me this morning when his alarm went off. Moo never did this when we lived alone.

I finished the book Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner this weekend. I've read Good in Bed and In Her Shoes. She's got a new book out. She's one of those authors that you know writes a lot about her life. She's not as funny as she thinks she is. Nonetheless, her books are an enjoyable read. I started Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs. I've read Running With Scissors and Dry--both great reads. What an unbelievable life he led. Sometimes I think he's humor is contrived. IT's not the wonderfully strange of David Sedaris, who's humor is so natural and so real, you laugh days after reading a passage. Nonetheless, I'm a fan of Burroughs and look forward to sinking into Magical Thinking.

Dan has to go into the city today. I'm a little nervous about being alone as I'm not in the best state today. This rain is taking its toll and my parents have both upset me greatly. My uncle Frankie who has lived in Australia for the past 15 years, once told me that Australia wasn't even far enough away from his family--he said if he could move to the moon he would. Ithaca is just too close.

On a good note, I picked up another client yesterday. It's a small project fee, but at least I'm making my way. Signing off.

Sunday Night King of the Hot List

If you've gotten into Grey's Anatomy. Gotta love Sandra Oh from Sideways and Under the Tuscan Sun--two killer movies--and, of course, Ellen Pompeo from OLD SCHOOL. But the very best part about Grey's Anatomy is our favorite former nerd Patrick Dempsey. How fiiine did he get?

OK so I'm still boy crazy, and I love my tv. There are a few things that geography will never change. Signing off.

I Was Really Bitchy This Weekend

It was partially due to my lack of sleep, which resulted from my parents' current bout of contempt for one another. I dont' want to get into detail, let's just say a similar pattern is surfacing. As usual I'm the one playing mediator.

Sleeping in my old bed it of no comfort to me anymore. It feels foreign and cold. I moved to the couch.

All this rain is a big old bitch. I've said this before and I'll say it again--I'm desperate for sunshine. It also didn't help that Dan left the car windows and sunroof open Friday night. We had to go to Sears to buy a wet/dry vac.

Friday we watched Dr. Stranglove. I should say Dan watched Dr. Strangelove. I was bored to tears within 10 minutes and fell asleep. I suppose I don't really get Kubrick--maybe I don't care to. I did like Eyes Wide Shut and Clockwork Orange tho'.

We also Netflixed American Psycho, which we've both seen--but Dan thoroughly enjoys. If he winds up axing me later in life, we'll understand.

Here's a bit of knowledge: If you have wireless and have a 2.4 GHz cordless, hurry up and upgrade to a 5.8 GHz. 2.4 causes interference with the wireless. Dan and I were the last two shmucks to realize this. All along I thought it was Vonage...

Ithacans still write checks in stores. This irks me. My patience is questionable anyway, and when I have to wait behind someone who's logging their purchase into their check registry I'm about to scratch my own eyes out.

We went with Rick and Emily to the Farmer's Market yesterday and it sucked. Most of the vendors were not there. I think they may be shutting down for the winter. I want to get flowers, but no such luck.

Here's a view of Lake Cayuga from the Market on a nice sunny day.
