There are gifts to wrap and canvases to paint. Plus I only have the trial version, so it would be silly to waste my whole 60 minutes tonight. <\/p>\n<p>Today was long. 10 hours in a department store, under buzzing lights, handling germy money. People do this for a living and don&#8217;t complain a bit. The universe is odd. I didn&#8217;t hear back from Memphis today, so I&#8217;m calling them tomorrow. I&#8217;d like to rest easy knowing there&#8217;s a light at the end of my tunnel. <\/p>\n<p>Why do I make myself bleed? On the list of disgusting habits, picking at your face\/scabs\/nails until you bleed is definitely up there with smoking and necrophilia. The worst part is that I don&#8217;t even know when I&#8217;m doing it, and when I realize I&#8217;m doing it, I feel obligated to finish the job. I shouldn&#8217;t be allowed in public.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, Phil&#8217;s sister Brooke is scheduled (informally, of course) to have her baby this week. Another Christmas baby in the family would be a weird coincidence. I once knew some twins born on xmas day. Why do we think of birthdays on xmas as rare? I don&#8217;t know the statistics or anything, but I&#8217;m sure there are as many people born on Dec. 25 as there are on any other day of the year. The odds are the same, right? Anyway, I hope it goes well and that she and the baby stay healthy. She&#8217;s so small that I worry about complications. Hrm. <\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t mailed my effin&#8217; xmas cards. What&#8217;s the point now? They&#8217;ll just be delayed so that the post office can check their every crevice for anthrax. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s damn cold outside. Snuggle up with someone you love and whisper obscenities in his\/her ear. Or beard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Let&#8217;s see where this 12-pack takes us] I could sit here all night and play Digby&#8217;s Donuts, but I won&#8217;t.
