ah keep those minor irritations coming

[cornerofmadness]

It was actually a good day at work. The test scores weren't that awful. I raced through the lectures and even had the students laughing. at 8:30 AM this is no mean trick

I get home and the irritation starts. I want to make a new necklace so I start. Mom calls me as i'm working. At one point I say, darn I lost count. 'why?' because i'm talking to you. At this point she takes offense and hangs up. WTF. It wasn't like I said it nasty. I gave an honest answer. I was laughing for god's sake. So I call her back because i'm not done talking and it's like i'm talking to a machine. So, fine, be a bitch. Later she calls me back with the info I asked for, still, she might as well be calling a stranger. Okay then.

Then the wine i used to make the vinegarette must have turned. It DISSOLVED the cheese in my salad. That's frightening

Then I over chiled my spicy hot chocolate and after I got the strawberries cut up and went to get the marscapone cheese i bought yesterday out and it was left flakes on my fingers as I pried up the lid...huh? Then i realized someone had been IN it, the seal is broken and it's covered with pink mold. Ewwww. Back it goes

ugh all the little annoyances. I was full of creative energy tonight, still am but i can't focus it. Okay off to focus

ETA - the smoke detector just flung itself off the wall and hit me in the arm

ETA2 - Forgot to thank the moron driving 55 in the fast lane on a 65 mph road pinning me behind and next to the 18 wheeler hauling live pigs. God what a stink. Glad i'm not the trucker

Focus, focus, focus!

...wish I could do that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm apparantly having piss poor luck with it too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I still want to know what you did to piss off the smoke detector.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think it ws just shook off the wall by the vibrating moaning floor

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, that could definitely be a point.

What's bad is Winry and Al were talking about M.T. this a.m. before I went to the wake...do I remember any of it? *headdesk*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well of course not

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Because, well, brats.

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

I'm bad with the focusing. I'm much better with the diffusive chaos.

The behavior of the smoke detector just convinces me even more that the universe hates you. Now it's even enlisting the help of inanimate objects in its vendetta.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's my life all over, one big cosmic joke

[ex-chaos-by-699.livejournal.com]

we're all just playthings of the Universe. it doesn't take me seriously either.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i have no doubt

[absolutefiction.livejournal.com]

Don't you just loooove days like that? I mean, they just make you smile. *eye twitchs*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

gotta ask why is the universe out to get you

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

Heh. Hope the jewelry stringing went better today.

As to the piggy back truck ride: If you haven't ever seen "The New Red Green Show" on PBS, there is a character on the show that works as a septic cleaner. He says that the smell is always in the back ... until you hit a red light or a stop sign, eh? ;-)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort to the septic cleaner

it did because i gave up on the wire AND the bead thread I bought (it unraveled, p.o.s.) and got the fishing line. BUT my hand hurts. Gah, it hurts. I'd forgotten. this is why i dont' do crafts any more

Your salad was dissolving?!?! You can take the scientist out of the lab but apparently that doesn't stop her from finding chemicals in obscure household substances. Thank god it was only the cheese that suffered it's wrath and not you. *whew*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i ate it. I'm not sure i WONT suffer the wrath but I seem to be still alive.

it was pretty impressive to watch the cheese melt into the solution

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

You're not alone. I'm sure half of us here would be fascinated right along side you.

Better than dead pigs. Or as Alec Baldwin would say... "Ungrateful little pigs".

Scar

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure dead pigs could smell worse. I grew up surrounded by cattle farms. They can get a little fragrant but pigs...ewwww

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think it does
