DOWNS: Gotta work tonight.... grrr....

Ups: My stomach is full and I'm looking forward to swimming after work. I don't have any plans, responsibilities or engagements this weekend.

Downs: When I shaved my face this morning I somehow missed my entire left cheek, so I have a large patch of hair going down one side of my face from my ear to my jaw. I haven't looked in the mirror but it must look hilariously stupid. Maybe this is another up.

Ups: Work day is over! Finally, some films from the lists are going to be watched this evening with a glass of red wine and a slice of pizza.

Downs: Have a house full of noisy teens, making watching anything nearly impossible at least until 7 pm.

Up: Can start drinking the wine immediately, kids or not.

Ups: One solitary green leaf is hanging on precariously to the hedge across the street; its compadres now brown sludge on the road.

Downs: On second thoughts, I think that 'leaf' might be a discarded crisp packet.

aaahaha!

UPS: I worked half a day today, got a lot done, and one of my coworkers came in and helped, so I'm nearly caught up, finally. Yay!

DOWNS: they tried to deliver my replacement DVD player on Friday, aftr everyone had left work, so I'll have to wait til Monday to get it. gah!

Review: Cabin in the Woods 8/10

Ups: I picked up a book today recommended by someone I have mucho respect for. Can't wait to get into it! It's The Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis, should be easy to determine who recommended it now, right?

Downs: Clueless cow in the grocery store with 4 kids and zero control over them. Each one had their own cart and the woman was off in her own world while her kids blocked aisle traffic for probably a hundred other customers. I bet the bitch was actually chewing cud, had to be. By the way, none of the kids were over five and were just pushing the carts into each other and everyone else. I still want to snatch her bald just thinking about it.

Ups: I don't have to work tonight....


Downs: Have been in a weird mood today... and am really thinking about checking out the underside of the table...

Ups: I made $3200 today

Downs: I had to sell my car to make it, and I loved that car.

Ups: A rather tasty looking young nurse type (in full uniform, wahay!) called at my door a few minutes ago...

Downs: She'd got the wrong house.

Much as I was tempted to say "Yes! I'm Mrs Thompson. Heal me!" I suspect it might not have gone down too well.

EDIT - Just thinking about this for a moment, she might have been a midwife. I'm glad that I didn't pretend to be Mrs Thompson now, actually.

*crosses legs in a protective manner*

Thought I'd give this thread a little C.P.R.. Its a good thread, too young to die.

Ups: Girls havent got the memo yet that im single because they seem to be fliting with me, which normally happens when im in a relationship and then they run for the hills when im single. I go for a road trip tomorrow for absolutely no reason.

Downs: I have been told to go do something involving razor blades and my esophagus region from someone who I care about. Which slightly sucked.

Don't do it Tell them to stick it

Of course, go on the road trip and screw the throat-slitters. Let them try to do it for themselves (not so easy, huh?)

A little hard to do when she's an ex, that I do care about. I decided to opt for the ignore her option. Its weird, Im witty and have some nasty insults but Im finding the most infuriating thing I can say is nothing... woman thing I guess

Downs:
Okay, last night, I went to the soccer (Melbourne Victory V Chunnam Dragons) & I lost my phone. Gone. Vanished from the face of the earth. I have my suspicions about who's taken it, and have people on that trail right now..
That's not where it stops, though.
On the train home, I took my bag off my shoulders and put it on the floor, then at the station where I depart, I walked off the train and left my bag on the train.
So, at 11:00pm on a notoriously bad train station, I'm waiting in the underpass for the train to come back the other way so I can get my bag back - when my mate's phone rings. Lo and behold, a friend of ours saw the bag and has it at his house.
So, this morning, I have the phone locked (that is, incoming & outgoing calls blocked) & trundle off to school in thongs (which is strictly not allowed).

Ups:
I got the bag back.
Complete with house keys, ID, wallet, clothes, & shoes.
