Hazy and blurry
I'd love to tell you all about my weekend, but it's a little fuzzy.
Been on a bender. Which I've renamed to a tear. I like tear better.
So, I'm on a tear.
No end in sight, either.
I kinda like this current tear, I've been pretty f-ing funny. Or so I seem to recall.
I can tell you
I:
- was asked if I made out with M (by M himself) on Friday night. He then said "Because it could happen".
- then turned the brightest shade of red I've been in a long time. I have a big crush on M.
- drank: Blue Moon, Guiness, Harp, Harp Shandy, Green Line (by Goose Island SO GOOD), Jameson, BBK, Bell's something yummy, some other shot, Guiness Black Lager and some other stuff*
- was instructed not to return to work until I made out with someone. I returned to work today, but did not make out with someone. Alas.
- invited myself to a wedding. Totally going. April 2nd. I could use a date, but that would probably be even more tacky than inviting myself in the first place.
- have been hung-over every day since Thursday.
- believe that the hair 'o the dog is the best remedy.
- found out there is a lesbian karaoke bar practically across the street from DANK.
- didn't go to said lesbian karaoke bar, it was already 2am when it was discussed.
- spent too much $$ on comic trades this weekend.
- can admit I was not 100% sober when I went to the comic book store.
- made up my new band name, with the help of VonSis - Musical Panda.
- went to guitar class with a hangover.
- learned Little Lion Man at class (kinda not really) and relished getting to sing the word "fucked".
- cried like a little girl when I found out Knut had died.
- blamed my hang over for the stupid crying.
- did say to myself at some point "This is good shit for the blog on Monday!"
*When I go on a Tear, I go ON A TEAR

Sorry cats and kitten, so super busy.
So, life is crazy busy, and not in very many good ways.
I give you this video, by my number one band to see live.

Nerdy McNerdinstein
I had been invited by one of my fave friends to an event Saturday night.
I kept it on my radar, because it did sound like fun, but I didn't 100% commit until Saturday itself.
So, I went.
To Dark Tower comics, for an event put on by my friend's group, Comic Book Queers. So, me and a bunch of gay men, one other straight gal (or hag, whatevs) chatted, drank, snacked and talked comics.
I know nothing letmerepeat NOTHING about comics. I was there to support my pal, SR.
But this group was so super fun and into comics and knowledgeable, I couldn't help but get excited.
I talked to the workerbee of the store a lot about what I like to read. He got all animated and walked me all around the store.
I found myself taking out my notebook from my purse and......
writing down titles
For future reference.
Two "trades" were thrust into my hands with very strong urges to look them over.
One trade was delivered unto me for winning round 2 of Comic Book Squeers.
Ok ok ok ok ok
So, I left there with three trades - The Unwritten, Sweet Tooth, Doom Patrol, and a plump list of other things to buy in the future:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
IZombie*
Locke and Key (by one son of one Stephen King)
Pax Romana
and The Walking Dead (of course)
Got home, settled in, doing some laundry.
And I pick up The Unwritten.
And I devour it.
And I crave trade 2.
Ah, hell, this could get expensive.
So, as I see some of my cool points flying out the window, I fully admit to jumping on the colorful, sexy, dirty and slightly bent world of comic books.
*yes, my favorite Zombie, I sought out something awesome and undead and thought of you!

Friday fuuuuuuuucc um, fun day....
So, I'm crabby today.
And a really silly thing started it all.
See, in our work fridge (one of like four on the floor, by the way), I always put my lean cuisines in the same place. Same place for nearly two years now, same stupid place. I keep mine in the door of the freezer. Just like I keep my other stuff in the door of the fridge, on the top shelf thingy.
So, this morning.
I come in, go to put my frozen lunch in it's place. I had gone out to lunch yesterday, so the last frozen I had was on Wednesday. I knew I had to replenish my stock, but hey, it's Friday, so I just brought one.
AND THE WHOLE DOOR WAS FULL of someone else's frozen dinners.
Um, what? One day and you take over "my" space?
And I know how these other people are. They bring in a bunch of frozen stuff and then never eat it. It sits there for three or four months.
So I just whipped my frozen meal at the back of the freezer.
I was pissed.
So long story behind today's question:
What seemingly little thing, behavior of others, etc just gets your blood to boiling?

40 days is a loooong time
Because I am someone's God-mother, I sometimes have to do things I would normally not do. Like go to church (ok, I've successfully avoided that for the 11 years of precious God-daughter's life, but I know it's coming). And answer questions about Catholicism (haha!! I bite my tongue a lot). And follow Lent. (for the most part).
So
That means as of today, I've given up the following for 40 days.
Bagels (which I eat EVERY DAY)
Burgers (don't eat those that often, but still)
and
Bad-mouthing strangers
AND
I'm not one of those Catholics who believe you get Sundays off, or that you can have what you've given up on Holy Thursday.
This is on until the Monday after Easter. Ok, I'll likely get a bagel on Easter Sunday while the family is at church, but that's still up in the air.
Like I said, it's going to be a looooong 40 days.
And you thought I was cranky before.

In too deep
Dear Phil,
You know I love you, but I just can't take this.
Because
You can't hurry love, you just have to wait.
And
Just say the word...oh....sususudieo
Because
Tonight, tonight tonight, wooohooo
And
I can't stoooop loving you.....no I won't stop loving you....
Even though you're f-ing retiring.
I mean, aren't there supposed to be two hearts, living in just one mind?
Against all Odds,
Von
