like tank girl

another day without water. cute dust-storm, wonderful furnace-like heat and fantastic breathability. and of course, work was fun. [well, to be fair, the work itself was interesting, just the conditions sucked]

all i needed was another of my ride's bright comments - this morning he annoyed me by arguing over bus lines that he's unfamiliar with, and trying so hard to make fun of me that he (hello, cognitive dissonance) just couldn't get what i was trying to explain. i'd give up, but i don't have what it takes.

a similar occurrence with the idiot girl that's been on my case - she brought a new kid to our lunch table and tried to show him what an idiot i am for dreaming. fortunately, the others at the table provided a counter and allowed me to defend my ideas critically; while not everyone agrees with it being the right way, nobody thinks it's entirely foolish.

that reminds me: ion drive in the news :)

i think my physiotherapist asked me to arrive earlier just so she could see me in uniform :P
whatever it is she did, things are still hurting but definitely feeling looser. she gave me another couple of exercises, and told me i should come back on wednesday.

ignoring the fact that i enjoy the sessions, they also provide me with a human hour of getting shit done. today's was spent getting the cash to renew my passport tomorrow, trading in universal soldier: the return and the tank girl vhs for the thirteenth floor, purchasing a shiatsu-pillow, art-supply shopping (mostly for the game), discovering that i can trade in my laundered ipod for a 25% discount on a new one*, finding the local distributor for oakley's*... i mean, wow. i can't usually do any of that.

* neither of which can be bought from their online stores. which sucks, because oakley's allow awesome customization and i could've etched the ipod...

i just got back from regular shopping, and have decided not to go rollerblading tonight. i'm going to watch how i met your mother (because i've been told that i have to) and prepare for the game.

i think i like carusella
