18 lbs to go.
i have slowed down on taking a picture a day. there are only so many angles you can get on the bot with an iphone. there are so many things i 'should' do that i'm giving myself a pass on this. here's a picture that well, isn't the best but it shows his blue, blue eyes and my white, white feet.
i will not go on about how amazing he is becuase well pictures speak louder than words.
in other news, stan and i are going to la for a visit. while we're there, i may meet with a couple of agents. i don't know really what to think about it other than wait and see. do i want to move to la? sometimes. do i want a backyard? more than a lot of things. do i care where it is? not really. is my indifference feigned? no - i really just wanna love on my baby and my husband and get out of debt. where we do it isn't no nevermind.
hi! how are you peoples of the internet?
you can't really tell - but this cell shot is of Ricky Gervais at the garden. it was a blast. louis ck opened for him and wow - dispite louis's disdain of the word hilarious - i will use it with glee to discribe him and his set.
i went to the bathroom at some big bookstore chain in penn station because, friends, i had ta and i waited in line for a few mins and listened to the convo going on between the two stalls.
stall 1: oh my god! i have pee on my pants! i have pee on my pants!
stall 2: girrrrrrrrrrrrrl
stall 1: i'm coming out. oh, no! it's on the waist band, i'm going to smell all the way home.
stall 2: whut? ok. ok. do what u need to do. it ain't no thing.
stall 1 comes out with her pants half way down around her knees lamenting the pee on her pants. i go into the stall and find the shambles of what fucking women do to other women for the sake of keeping themselves sanitary. (pee all over the seat) GUESS WHAT, LADIES? actually sitting on the fucking seat is actually more sanitary than pissing on the seat. TRULY. i do not lie - look it up! pee doesn't do anything to you. it's sterile. really! so, you pissing on the seat and then getting it on your waistband only hurts who? think about it? i wiped up your mess and got to sit down and relax.
it's been a really long month. in some ways, very nice. i am still in love with my husband of 5 plus months and we're moving to a bigger apartment and i still have a job and some of the money we give the government will come back to us. but it's been really hard too. the death of my cat was incredibly hard. it still is. i didn't think i was one of those cat ladies. i know they're cats and not people and i actually laugh @ onion headlines like 'woman thinks cat misses her' but last night as i was going to sleep, i started crying again for him. i guess you have a meowationship* for almost 11 years, it's gonna be hard to just not have it any more. i catch myself praying to God to make sure he gets petted and brushed knowing full well that he's dead, pickle head! but he can't be. he was just in bed with me cuddling. ah, it hurts.
i thought i actually had things to report. i still read. i am sure you've all been wondering but since i posted every book i read last year, i figured i'd give you a break from me and the bad books i read. i think i had a goal this year to read 12 'good for me' books. i'll start that in may. yeah. totes. i think i'm gonna read war & peace. so maybe i'll read just 1 good for me books this year. what are you doing with your life? huh? stop judging me.
i'm still at work - can you tell? i miss you - that's all! hi!
*i've never used the word meowlationship before but i find it really odd to say relationship in relation to a cat.
have you guys been going where's mo? no? ok. well, i'm going to let you in on where i am. i'm here. quiet. envisioning my move to bed-stuy. we got the apartment! oh the joy!
but where i really am? like really?
is berating myself for not packing my lunch for work. every day, i see someone who has a lunch that they've packed and i just get all up ons in my head - the place that is not envisioning the move. i saw this chick with the perfect salad and i was all, "michele! look at that. she did it! she made the perfect salad - clearly at her house and you, you sit there with your stuff doing nothing! don't you want to be a millionaire by the time you're 40?"
so, i'm looking for suggestions on how to make the perfect salad ... because i love my hale & hearty $7.03 salad so much that i am unwilling to settle for anything less. anyone? anyone? ok thanks.
also, last night i dreamt that i made out with my mom. WITH.MY.MOM. not just making out with but dating. what is going on in my brainski? is it the berating that i'm engaging in or is it the envisioning? is it that i think too much? so many questions and so few answers.

Dear Customer Service Representative*,
I did indeed receive a pacakge so your research was correct. The package I received said:
Sir Ian...Sir Ian...Sir Ian
WIZARD, YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
which really will not do for a woman of a certain age at this time of the year.
If you could please let me know if I can send this package back to you and get my correct order (which are for post-it notes that say T___ M_____ B______ at the top) that would be wonderful. I wanted to give these post-its as a gift.
I hate that Sir Ian will also not get his Christmas wish. Well, mostly, I'm sad that Sir Ian shall not pass.
Have a wonderful day,
Michele
*i forgot to put her name in the dear part. a part of me shall never forgive myself. luckily, i have terrible memory for all my transgressions.
i ordered my boss post-in notes with her name on it for a holiday present. instead of the staid post-its desired, i received post-its that say "sir ian...sir ian...sir ian... wizard you shall not pass". i'm pretty sure that there's one sad dungeon master out there who's wondering how the tmb labyrinth is going to effect his status. do i know at all what i'm talking about?
i can't get a good picture of it. sorries.
oh you internets! you make my life cranky sometimes. i really enjoyed my post that you ate. i hope it tasted good because this next one is not gonna taste as sweet.
so what did i talk about?
1) i read a book:
it was balduci like, if balduci is now a type of book. he wrote absolute power. a cat and mouse book where the mouse gets claws. it's basically another bag of mental doritos. taste good but makes you feel a bit like you've got a salt bloat afterwards and you think "maybe i should look at another orange food like an orange or a carrot". come on, you know what i'm talking about. don't make that face. do not. i read a good book soon. shut up! i will. in the meantime, it means that i only have 4 more books to read this year. it's 3 weeks from the end of the year, right? about that? we'll see. so much pressure.
2) on friday night we went to this holiday party for the place i did just grace. it was at this amazing loft like place and was a blast. there was a woman of a certain age there (her words, not mine) who started hitting on stan right after we mentioned we were newlyweds. she held his hand and said to me "you'll be at the audies soon". then she explained that the audies are the oscars of recording books. i love that she didn't say i'd be nominated or would win. i'd just be there ... probably supporting her. i'd tell you who she is because she's vaguely famous but i'm kind of sure that she's the kind of woman who googles her name which reminds me, i haven't done that in awhile.
3) on saturday, we went and saw b brian argotsinger in the santaland diaries at the gallery players in brooklyn. i'm not using any kind of smoke machine when i say he was brilliant. in fact, you have like 4 times left to see him, please go. and, if you don't believe me that he was brilliant, then maybe you'll believe his review. it's on the webpage i sent you for the santaland diaries. and if you think, no ! i will not link, then just look at him in costume.
first of all, it's clemintine season. are you eating the delicious little orange orbs? do it!
here's fun. me and sarah actually put up a new kill. enjoy. we're actually going to make an effort to do this more. by effort i mean, we're aware that we have this website.
this is actually the second peter abrahams book that i've read. the first has stayed with me for awhile and at the time, i think i gave it a wishy-washy review (ha, me give a wishy washy review? that's like saying bonnie hunt ever had a shot at having a successful sitcom. i miss bonnie hunt. bonnie, i know you're reading this. after the writers strike, please put some pen to paper.) anyway, this second sweep at peter abrahams has convinced me that i'll be reading his library. i mean, not his personal library, i have absolutely given up b&e's, but his you know stuff that he's written. i have been furioiusly trying to find the book that i read of his before, end of story, and i can't find where i blogged about it. did i forget to blog about a book? could i actually be one more book ahead in the 52 books this year? hmmm. COULD I BE BREAKING OUT OF THESE CHAINS? anyway, nerve damage is nice and suspenseful and a little scary. so you could totally read this book if that's what you're looking for in a book. also, it's november so this is the time for this kind of book.
i'm sort of embarrassed because i had said i was going to read a lot of other books before this, but the library put them back on the shelve before i got to pick them up. stupid second job, stupid library bur mostly, stupid michele. no. it's really stupid second job.
i think that i dislike my second job more than i dislike the movie wedding crashers, but it could also be a draw. i have 15 more shifts to go at second job and i will never work in retail again. this, of course, is the second time i've made that decree. so, take this grain of salt - you may need it later.
movies i really liked? 28 weeks later. that shit was good. it was even better than 28 days later.
