i keep tilting my computer at a funny angle, because i type while lying in bed, i have stressed my power cord. it’s plugged in, but suddenly it says it’s not plugged in anymore. this has been going on for a few weeks now, and i keep thinking OH MY GOD YET ANOTHER THING GOING WRONG I’M SURE IT’LL COST A MILLION DOLLARS TO GET A NEW ONE AND LIFE CERTAINLY SUCKS RIGHT NOW AND I SEE NO POINT IN EVEN GETTING OUT OF BED AT ALL.
so, tonight i was chatting with christine, and she said she didn’t think it’d cost more than a hundred bucks.
so i went to ebay and bought one just now, and it was all very fast, and it was only thirty dollars.
and now, my life if perfect.
whew.
we were discussing men and relationships, and she was talking about a boyfriend she had when she was planning on moving to italy. i said, “oh, you were still with him when you were planning your move?”
and she said “we were only together in the sense that i hated him.”
this made me laugh for quite a while.
she has a friend who got married even though she knew it was a bad idea, and now, a year later, the friend is (of course) miserable, and the friend just told christine today that she doesn’t believe there are any good men left in the world.
that does seem to be true, except i know at least one man who probably thinks that about women, he was divorced just a few months ago and has a story about his ex-wife that would make your hair stand ON END. so i can’t blame him for any bad feelings he might have for females everywhere. except that most of us, actually, are very, very good.
i feel that, by and large (what is “by and large,” anyway? where did that come from?), men are prone to be more lying-cheating-being baddder and badder in whatever cliched bad man way that they can be till you just want to crawl under the covers and never get out of bed again.
brendan isn’t bad. A+ kudos to jerri for being wise enough to find a non-bad one.
jerri is very wise.
she and brendan are also going to be in denver when i go there to visit christine, and i am going to listen to what jerri has to say. because she’s very wise.
practically sage-like, even.
wiseness-wise, not spice-wise.
she did make me some delicious macaroni and cheese one time, though. or i think it was something more elaborate than that, it was some sort of macaroni and cheese…pie? perhaps i’m hallucinating the whole thing. a lot of that went on back in LA.
i think today was REALLY the last warm day. i thought that last week, or maybe a couple weeks ago, but i think today was the day.
this morning when i drove to work, the leaves were absolutely raining down from the trees.
and last night, i didn’t leave work till seven, and it was completely dark outside.
time to stay in bed, under the covers, until there’s some hope of some possible reason to get up.
maybe in april.
perhaps may.
that is all for this moment.
ok then,
grace on wednesday night, and at least i get to go see jekyll & hyde on sunday, something to look forward to, i’ll definitely get out of bed by sunday afternoon anyway.
