I couldn't fake it to save my life

Just in case you were wondering, I am not still sitting here from last night... yay that. I went to bed around eleven after finishing writing a scene that I don't really like (both what happens in it and the way it's written). So I'm kind of obsessing over this story, and trying not to because this November is supposed to be about not ignoring every story except for one. Must walk away, must work on other stuff.

I probably wouldn't even have been up until eleven if I hadn't taken a big time-out in the middle of writing to clean up my gmail and send a note to EC. I know the idea of having so much space (over 2 gigabytes) is supposed to be so you don't have to delete anything, but I went through and did a major cleanup. I went from about 70 MB used to about 20. The bulk of it were those daily vocabulary things from Dictionary.com. I almost never read them, so I unsubscribed and then deleted all the ones I had.

My desk is cluttered right now with a stack of books I picked up from the library on Saturday. I don't know if I've ever been there during the weekend; it was neat to be able to actually find a parking space in that lot. I have this bad habit with library books of either: A, Taking several and reading them all within one week; or B, Taking several and not reading any of them. I could avoid that by only getting one or two books at a time, but it's just not my style. Only choosing five books on Saturday shows real restraint for me.

I'm listening to Lillix right now. According to their official website they're supposed to have a new album out this coming spring. It's about time, I've been waiting.

My horoscope said that today I would have the mad urge to get out of the house, and shop. So true... but unfortunately, no money to shop with. And window shopping depresses me; I only like to look at pretty things when I can actually buy them. It's a good thing that doesn't apply to hot guys (only being able to look when they're attainable), cause I'd spend a whole lot of time looking at nothin'.

Yesterday I was messing around with my keychain camera and took some pics of myself, hoping to catch at least one cute one. The best one, unfortunately, cuts off the top of my head, and one of my eyes looks way bigger than the other (maybe it is and I never noticed). I also took a bunch of my various purses so I can actually add some content to the site this weekend.

Two unpleasant things coming up this week, the first being a dentist appointment tomorrow. What a drag. And I'm going to have my first x-rays in like two years... I just better not have a cavity, that's all I know. The second thing, which is going to be just annoying, is professional carpet cleaners coming on Friday morning. In case you are just tuning in, my dogs don't take well to visitors.

They had a grooming appointment on Monday, so now they look ugly. Hee. At least they smell nice. While they were at their thing, my mom and I stopped by this new bakery/deli to see if they were open yet. They weren't, but let us try a sample. Cheese bagels rule. They opened yesterday and I went by to get a bunch of bagels... cheese, jalapeno, plain, sesame, multi-grain (totally weird looking), and... who knows what else. I have a big, picky family.

I took them over by my grandprents' first, to see if they wanted any. My grandma took one just to try, because she's never had a bagel before. Huh? But then I thought, not only are there a lot of things I've never eaten, but also a million things I would never eat. But bagels rule. It reminded me of the "Everybody Loves Raymond" where Robert's and Amy's parents met, and Amy's dad insisted he had never eaten a muffin, which infuriated Robert's parents. Ha.

They've been showing the most kickass episodes of "The Simpsons" this week. Including the one where Bart gets a fake driver's license and he goes on a road trip with Milhouse, Nelson and Martin. "I spent our last ten dollars on this Al Gore doll!" Classic.

I have this issue with my bed in that there's some kind of metal rods sticking out right at the edge... um, that's not good. The dealer that sold it to us went out of business (of course), so we've been in touch with the actual mattress company and they sent us a camera to take pictures to send back to them. It was so neat using it... I so felt like a CSI.

I just hope our claim doesn't get rejected because my dad took a couple of pictures of the dogs. Heh. The way they look with no hair, the people are going to say, "Dude, why did they send us pictures of rats?"

Okay, I had this garlic pasta-roni for lunch and it was not exactly beneficial to my breath... must go eat toothpaste.
