• “People don’t seem really happy where they are. They’re always looking for a different place, a different person – just different.” –George, ‘Dead Like Me’-

   

  I drank a Vitamin C smoothie & afterwards read the ingredients. One of them? Maitake mushrooms. I am allergic to mushrooms. Commence freak-outage. Damn it.

  There were two, count ‘em, two spiders crawling across my car windows today. My mom used to say, “Spiders come to a happy home,” but my battered Civic is not all that happy, so I wish these arachnids would leave me the hell alone.

   

  Speaking of the Civ (Sylvia), I had a few abusive driving experiences today. I was sworn at by an overzealous pedestrian who couldn’t wait 10 seconds to cross the street & later was almost backed into by a big, hankin’ SUV. Not my vehicular day.

  My Robin Hood story went in the Stater today, and I’m really happy with it. They cut it a lot & it took second fiddle to Sara’s bartender story, but it’s still a good piece & a good clip. Props to myself.
