Let us excise today from the history books

Dude. I hereby put forth a motion that today (well, yesterday now, I guess) should be eradicated from time and space. SRSLY. It was an enormous clusterfuck from start to finish, and ended with, well... you can read about it here.

For all of this, I was lugging around my school stuff, plus an extremely heavy three volume set of Alan Moore erotica. That's the punchline to something, but I don't know what. "There isn't a part of me that doesn't hurt."1

Let's just say Rach's and my story meeting did not exactly go as planned. *laughs* On the other hand, somewhere between low blood sugar, MTA fuckery, the paucity of cabs in New York very not at its finest, and oh yeah, THE HOSPITAL, we did actually manage to solve some stuff. Now, that's dedication, right?

So, Iceland collapsing, world financial system in havoc, sickness all around, the fucking election: there's chaos and horror everywhere I turn, it feels like. The one thing to hold on to, is that my little chosen family, my clan - we seem to face it all with black humour, and chin up, and oh, am I fucking grateful for that.

I'm so proud to be a part of it. I JUST WISH WE COULD CATCH A FUCKING BREAK. Just a little breather. Is that so much to ask? Jesus.

I am so tired, I can barely see.

1 That's just never going to stop being funny.

Wait. You had Alan Moore porn with you for all that and didn't tell me?

Yeah, that was that really heavy bag. You think I should have popped it out in the waiting room? It might have entertained your mom!

But seriously, why did you even have that with you?

[identity profile] kalichan.livejournal.com 2008-10-11 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Lost Girls (porn with Alice and Dorothy and Wendy). Eve brought it into work so I could borrow it; I'm gonna show it to my kidlit class on Tuesday.

You're going to practice said presentation on the Doctor Who "The Parting of the Ways" Sunday brunch, yes?

I am so going home tonight and thinking of drink and food recipes. I was thinking of doing an english fry up kinda breakfast-british heinz beans on toast, sausage, etc? I can also make us some blackcurrant ribena drinks.

OMG I'm so excited.

I think I should also mention that it's a damn good thing we're having brunch because I don't think Rach could spend a whole regency ball with you and not start talking who-shop with it's inevitable spoiler city.

OMG-I can't wait to show you guys my dress and attempt to dance again! Hopefully I won't smash right into anyone in the big all-room dances...it WAS only once...

Gawker or Wonkette suggested that all the crazy racists screaming at McCain rallys can just pick up Iceland on the cheap and move there, since pretty much everyone there is white. So there's that possible unexpected benefit!

But yes, today was MADE OF FAIL though mine not as much as yours.

EPIC EPIC FAIL.

I'm sorry you had a craptastic day too!

Poor Iceland. Annexed by Russia? Invaded by crazy racists? They are just having a very bad week.

I like Sigur Ros too much to have Iceland invaded by racists. Let's all pitch in and buy it (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/financial_crisis_humour/blog/2008/10/10/iceland_for_sale_on_ebay_for_99p) as a fangirls' paradise!

I bucked the trend and had a GOOD day, got hired onto a new contract and celebrated with pancakes.

ROCK! Okay, I guess we'll have to keep the day after all. Congrats!

And yay, fangirl's paradise. We can call it the "Special Hell" in Icelandic, whatever that would be.

Maybe they'd like to be Canada's first Icelandic speaking province?

Breathing good.

Also, I think Ianto's underestimating the comfort factor of rats. Just saying.

[identity profile] kalichan.livejournal.com 2008-10-13 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes indeedy.

Ianto: Rats are fine, in their place. Which is not chewing their way out of my stomach, thank you.
Jack: Don't worry. I tried to do that to a guy once, but the rats didn't survive the digestive juices. There wouldn't be chewing.
Ianto: ...
Jack: What?
Ianto: Do you know how disturbing you are?
Jack: Hey, working in Room 101 with O'Brien was very educational.
Ianto: I'm not talking to you anymore.
Jack: What? Don't want to tell me your worst fear?
Ianto: That this conversation isn't the product of some fevered nightmare?

"There isn't a part of me that doesn't hurt."1
FUCK YOU! I just inhaled cola and choked on it laughing!

Speaking of Emoianto, I coined the term over at Urban Dictionary. I'll let you know when it posts :)

Hahah. The funny part is that I just realised we got the quote wrong! It's "there isn't an inch of me that doesn't hurt!" D'oh!

Well in our house the whole thing has been shortened to "I'm full of rats."
