AHAHAHAH. ahahahahaha. 'i hate you' baby toy hoax (?) and kerfluffle!

the night. at length because after the style of wodehouse, a wee bit.

the night's happy beginning and unexpectedly upsetting interval
was greatly agitated tonight--it is our regularly scheduled night for dinner with my favorite gay boys. unfortunately l was driven to and from a rehearsal by another inmate of the church who then stayed after bringing her back for about an hour and a half. she's a person i like, but large and overpowering. i don't really consider f & e 'company'--they do not make me nervous or keyed-up. dinner with them is relaxing, conversation is stimulating in a highly salutary way. it's all very pleasant. ( a few paragraphs on how my feathers got so thoroughly ruffled. )

the loveliness of p.g. wodehouse
a short drive and singing loudly did something to calm me. curling up in bed did something more although i shivered and frowned a bit, and tried to call hollsk twice, before i was able to settle down to reading. fortunately i slept very late this morning and was plenty awake to finish leave it to psmith. i cannot regret having exhausted my supply of wodehouse when it takes this delightful turn--romance meets comedy of manners meets farce, with a debonair hero who seems to mix the best qualities of a miles vorkosigan, a lord peter wimsey, and a hint which might remind the unwary of terry pratchett*?

the unfortunate holdup with karl and viggo's manly yet gay and so on
my calm is now largely restored. i can't go to bed just after finishing a marvelous book. so i read my e-mail. it seems k'sal and i disagree possibly gravely about the ending of karl and viggo's manly-yet-gay camping adventure. one of us is wrong, or she has somewhere been led to an interpretation of the situation i did not intend. but she informs me she is getting six hours' sleep and programming madly in some kind of work-related crunch. clearly she has no time to spare just now for arguing the finer points of the story with me, or the coarser points, for that matter. just as clearly, i cannot finish the story without thoroughly hashing these issues out with her.

and i had thought i was finished!


*in his early years and/or less exuberant moods. pratchett is rather further along the wodehousean path than wodehouse himself. w's more sophisticated style is more to my taste.

the more i think about it the more the nebulous but possibly large flaw in the karggo story distresses me. ack. i hate feeling i've made a big mistake and don't know what it is. how will i fix it? oh, dear, oh, dear.

ETA: ack! XP how will i EVER fix it. this has been a very distressing day! everything i remember about it agitates me further. i must go to bed. but that agitates me too!

call all your girls

got up early to buy l. a new pair of black shoes at wal-mart for talent show performance by her school step team. she left telling us she needed a new one until midnight last night (literally).

fab.

this is how it worked:

me: what size?
l: 5.5.

so i bought 5.5 and then she whined that they're too small because if she stomps, they squish her toes. 'i can't wear them,' she whined.

so mom is going to buy her another pair immediately after school today.

i never learn to stop being nice to the little sleaze-ball.

p.s.: please check your punctuation. misplaced commas cause some of us pain. ::looks accusingly at supposedly-literate members of sos_usa::

...oh well.

deliberate misspellings of familiar words (not really; it just sounded fun)

my god, most of the secret slash stuff from last year wasn't any too great, was it?

it's sorta appropriate.

i just found a tim powers book illustrated by a j. potter at amazon.com.

HAHAHAHAHAH.

i can see it now: adolescent boys and their sexedified fantasy-horror. blood, oozy eyeballs, too much lovecraft, nekkid wimmin. the marauders leaning over his shoulder, saying, what's THAT one?

this sounds good.

ugh i put too much pepper in this rice-a-roni and it burnt my throat.

the bastards!

heh heh heh

answering the door to the ups guy without a bra (or maybe it has to do with the amount of midriff exposed) gains you friendlier service, apparently. as well as a sort of 'well, helloooo there. how YOU doin'?'

yay, half of mom's christmas presents are here.

kerfluffdate: britney vs xtina mini-wank

in a recent blender article, christina aguilera expressed the opinion that beyoncé and britney should make up their minds whether they're innocent or the sort of girl who poses nekkid. she disapproves cowardice and hypocrisy.

this has finally led to some wank by a fanboy who wrote a dear john letter to a christina fans community. i report and summarize the phenomenon in otf_wank here.

my mom is such an incredible dimwit that she's considering returning this phone because she can't figure out how to use it... when she hasn't read the manual.

no, i'm not kidding.

i really don't feel all that well. emotionally. or something. but i took my medicine today.
