When I say all my characters, I mean all. I'm pulling characters out from waaaay back in the day. Rico Perez and PHIL days, if some of you remember those names.

Did you?
I parked on the street last night in a 2-hour (daytime) slot and got there with but two minutes to spare this morning. Not one but two! dorky bicycle pseudocops leaned on their rides on the sidewalk looking repeatedly at their watches as I approached and then rode off looking embarrassed as I keyed in and started the engine. They were too silly-looking to mess with, but as I walked up I considered saying these things:
"Not today, chiefy."
"I'll get you next time, Gadget!"
"Until we meet again."
Oh, they're such bastards! I appreciate parking enforcement of some kind in a congested area, but if it's so open that they can idle around cars that are approaching a time limit, maybe the parking isn't really an issue at that moment.
I also did a freelance drawing and was expecting to be paid for it earlier this week. Four days later, the client will not pay me. Apparently, telling me the picture was perfect Friday and promising me payment by Tuesday actually means that it was not approved and it was completely not what she was looking for. This news was also received this morning, beginning my pissiness.
I got recommended to someone in Portland Oregon, who is going to contact me next week about a possible illustration and logo design job. Portland is not Seattle, but it's definitely not Albia.
I also found $20 today, which unbitched my attitude.
And so on.
During the Glorious Week of My Return there was some talk (ample during moments of the wedding reception) of online ODSTing. As some of you know, I had to pass on the video gaming last night due to a faulty internet connection. We suspected that something was wrong with the wires in the building, which was the problem before, but do you know what the real problem was? It was that my cat ate the internet.
So now I have bought a little plant for the cat to chew on, and have also sprayed catsbane on the modem cables. While looking for other ideas, though, I found this gem of pet ownerly wisdom:
Soon, I will see professional Moroccans doing a professional dance. Then, my professional ass is getting on a red-eye and flying to a less-than-professional Des Moines, to where someone needs to be professional and pick my ass up. Professionally. At 9:37 am.
Professional.
Later, went to see a comedy show. First guy sucked, second guy was black so he was funny, the headliner was amazing. He made a reference to Scrooge McDuck.
I just gave some sort of speal about weak minded assfucks. I am drunk.
In the evening, I went to see Reel Big Fish and Suburban Legend. It was god-tier awesome. Although, stupid me decided to get into the front end of the "mosh" pit. That lasted two songs, in which time I was head butted by a rude boy and got a handful of man flab from the sumo I was pushed into. Otherwise, it was a damn good show.
As for tonight, plans are made for an Anything But Clothes Party. Stay tuned to this broadcast for further announcements.
"She had been bugging me all day, I blacked out and when I woke up I had the ax in my hand and she was hurt," Williams told a deputy, according to a report.

For the past few weeks a small detail has been missing in my life. Not rational thought. That's always in short supply in my anxiety-ridden head. No, the missing element has been: Water! I haven't had any water in the past few weeks. I had replaced it with coffee and espresso and blissfully didn't notice. I probably would have gone on not noticing if I hadn't suddenly been struck with a killer headache and high fever last Tuesday.
After some over the phone diagnosis with a friendly nurse, I spent the earliest hours of Wednesday shivering in an ER bed being poked again and again in an attempt to pierce veins so shriveled from dehydration that I'm pretty sure my blood was largely stationary. I now have little marks around my arms and neck where they kept trying. They managed to hit a couple of veins, but they had a tendency to immediately collapse (furthering my theory that my blood had dried up). They finally managed to tap into one vein in my neck and I went from half-alive to mostly alive after two liters of fluid dripped their way directly into my blood stream. I went home at four in the morning tired but feeling a bit better. I was still running a light fever but fell asleep not worried too much about it.
Till the next morning, when the shivering the night before had returned. The fever turned into a roller coaster from there on until probably Sunday when it finally dipped back to normal for awhile. Headaches continued, and my ability to do anything other than lay on the couch and drink liquid was nil.
All in all, it's been a ride and I think some of my convalescence was helped by Kara making a surprise trip up when I was suppose to drive down.
