Bullet points for a Monday Morning

  • I woke this morning with a massive headache. Not to mention that this whole weekend was totally screwed sleep-wise. Caffeine hasn’t fixed the head problems yet; anyone like to mail me an aspirin or nine?
  • Have you ever wanted a life without drama? Maybe it’d be pretty boring, but all the same, right now I want a life without a single drop of it.
  • There are days when life is flying by around you on every side: it seems like everyone else is doing anything and everything, but you’re doing nothing. Maybe you want my drama (you can have it!). Maybe you feel bored, monotonous. Maybe you start manufacturing the things you don’t have: love, action, movement. But when does the line blur between what you have molded and shaped, and what is real? Or is there no difference?
  • Here’s a decision: I will never, ever date a person I met over the internet. Especially now. In fact, the day I rebound with an internet person is the day you have permission to track me like a animal and shoot on sight.
  • This morning I splurged and bought Starbucks. Not, mind you, the sort of drink that needs emo glasses and pretentiously-shaped facial hair (yeah, I’d like a half-decaf venti nonfat extra hot no-foam latte with half a shot of hazelnut and a quarter shot of vanilla, and could you be a darling and add a nip of soy in there for me?), just a regular coffee. Which turned out surprisingly lukewarm. I don’t pay that extra fifty cents for lukewarm coffee, Starbucks!
  • I haven’t had any alcohol in a week. Whee! In related news, I just downloaded Sid Meyer’s Alpha Centauri, and boy, do I miss that game. Good times. Except that I always get trounced by the computer players, who, as it turns out, are not entirely smart in any measurable way. This says something about me.
  • One last thing: I sincerely hope that each and every one of you is having an excellent day. Even you. Yeah, you heard me.

    I woke up cranky too. And I got 10 hours of sleep…those muscle relaxers my doctor gave me for my whiplash must be really doing its job.

    I think whenver you order “just coffee” from Starbucks the baristas are sent for a tailspin. The fanciest I’ve ever gone with my coffee is “French Vanilla”.

    Gus - you can do it, man! Really, I’ve dropped like five pounds raw weight since giving up alcohol on a daily basis. Now I just need to give up the cigars and gain it all back.

    Laura - get rid of the flippin’ uterus already! What good has it done you? I mean, gosh. Maybe the whole wedding thing is God’s way of telling you that you need to… have a wedding all your own. (Russian men, eh?)

    Sherry - Can you get me some of those muscle relaxers? They sound goooood :) Also it’s odd, for being right in the middle of downtown Mississauga, the Square One Chapters/Starbucks seems to sell a LOT of regular coffee. I guess it’s the proximity to the bus station or something, with the disaffected underclasses and whatnot.
