Unable To Put Two Words Together

Let alone an entire fucking blog post. So.

- Had a No Good, Very Bad Day for more reasons than I can say on the internet. It started off with me getting to work late and went downhill for there. As Julie recently said, it feels like I walked into another Monday.

- Finished Sweet Thursday, which I’ve grudgingly given 3 1/2 stars. If I figure out how to write again, I’ll start reviewing all the books I’m reading. Feeling a bit dried up, creatively speaking.

- Realized that one cannot use the stairs at work, since the stairwell doors are locked from the inside. Did not realize this, of course, until I was actually locked inside the stairwell. I had to walk down three flights of stairs in order to take the elevator back up.

- I now have to stay awake long enough to restore some order to my tornadic apartment, as one additional person AND two 12 week old kittens will be here for the weekend. I predict chaos.

current book: I Sailed with Magellan by Stuart Dybek, a Chicago writer most famous for Coast of Chicago, which was Chicago’s “One Book, One City” selection a few years ago.

current music: it’s been a fairly high volume week for tunes in my little hole at work. Entre Rios, The Libertines, Canasta, Arto Lindsay, Kings of Convenience…

current socks: slices of citrus fruit with the word “JUICY” written across the bottom. Thanks, Julie.
