Aug. 16th, 2002 06:18 pmToday is Pungenday, day 9 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3268.
Some days I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Of course other days I feel like there's a vast conspiracy by the Universe to make my life miserable. Tuesday and Wednesday were the former, yesterday was the latter, and today I'm attempting a nice, calm equilibrium. Stressing out gains me nothing right now, so I might as well not bother. How about another round of cool/not cool instead?
Cool:
* a space elevator would be extremely cool
* new Ikea catalog in the mail, just about the time I realized I really need a new dresser (and they've dropped the price on the model that I have by a significant amount)
* a nice pot of Formosa Oolong tea and strawberries and cream; wonderful conversation and high comfort levels that led to contemplation of the logic behind some past behavior I'd never really thought about in that manner before
* Tales of the Plush Cthulhu
Not Cool:
* sitting in an exam room for half an hour after first sitting in the waiting room for more than an hour, and then seeing the NP for all of ten minutes at a cost of $115.
* people who feel the need to pretend that they're on some moral and intellectual high ground for not having an account on livejournal. *pat* *pat* Yes dear, we're all pathetic drama queens, you're entirely correct as always.
* I have yet to get dressed today, and I need to go out and pick up a couple of birthday presents
I think I'll stop while "cool" still outnumbers "not cool" and hope that it remains that way for the rest of the day.
