It's killing me now, leaving the unspoken unsaid

For some reason I'm half-watching "Judge Maria Lopez" and really, she's had some of the worst-dressed plaintiffs and/or defendants I've ever seen! In the episode at ten, there was a mother and daughter (I think) who were wearing neon pink and bright yellow tops respectively, and in the episode ending right now, the plaintiff and her girlfriend are wearing these matching black button-down shirts with giant flames on the hems and the arms. WTF are these people thinking?

I didn't sleep that great last night. I woke up around midnight feeling like "Oh, it's time to get up!" I felt it so strongly that I was actually annoyed it wasn't morning. And I was super-thirsty and needing a glass or three of ice water, but I was too lazy to get up and get a drink so I just laid there all miserable until I fell asleep again.

Yesterday was kind of a so-so today. In the morning, I was exhausted and really dreading work. Monday was busy enough with customers that I didn't feel as if I accomplished anything I needed to catch up on the weekend, and I was thinking yesterday would be similar. Fortunately (or not, depending on how you look at it) we only had three tables come in! I think it was the weather; it rained overnight and was still super-gloomy outside. This also did nothing to improve my mood.

Knowing that Betsy the Superjeep will in the shop for a couple days, I went out after dinner last night to Target for necessities (soap, blotting papers, paper plates) and to Barnes & Noble to get a Christmas present for somebody - and, yes, bought something for myself. I've been wanting to re-read Stephen King's "The Stand" for hella weeks now and since my copy fell apart years ago, I gave in and got a new one. Oh! And the alarm dealy went off as I started through the exit, and I was so startled that I think I literally jumped back inside. Of course everyone is looking over to see who's stealing something (I'm not a shoplifter darnit!) and the cashier just waves for me to go ahead. So I leave... setting the alarm off again. Grr.

Something else I bought last night: The Killers "Hot Fuss" album. I've had "Smile Like You Mean It" and "Mr. Brightside" stuck in my head since watching the videos on YouTube while trying to decide whether Brandon Flowers is crushworthy. My final verdict: Nah, not really. He's kinda pretty when he doesn't have that ridiculous mustache, but he's not that cute. Plus, he looks short. Is he short? Okay, according to the Celebrity Wonder website he's 5'11" - not too short. He does have a sexy voice, but his being only a year older than me makes him too young to be one of my celebrity crushes - ha!

But yeah, I like how I went from thinking I hated that band to having both of their CD's (do they only have two? I don't even know). Still, "Somebody Told Me" is definitely in my Top 10 Most Obnoxious Songs Ever list. Also on that list: basically any song by the Spice Girls, who for some reason had a big article in the paper the other day. Why won't they do the decent thing and disappear off the face of the planet?

I've been writing this post off-and-on for almost an hour, trying to figure out how to end it! I suppose I just don't have a graceful exit in me today (do I ever?)
