well, i've sent 80 emails, including one to a particularly cranky woman who demanded that i shut down her site immediately (even though she meant someone else) and accused me of playing god. i do not write lol in my blogulators, but were i to do so, said email would merit an ebullient lol.
whenever i send out stuff like this, i have this go-to mental montage: i picture a stock footage-style person going GRRRRRRR!!!!! and banging his/her fists on the computer desk. then said emailer reads my response out loud, gradually beginning to mumble as he/she gets madder and madder and finally goes AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and throws the computer keyboard upon realizing that i cannot restore the account winky4823489dickens or whatever the fuck it is because the system auto-deletes accounts that claim the owner is under 13.
i daydream a lot.
anyway.
well, what happened since you last heard from me? saturday, zach and i went out to bed-stuy and had a delightful time hanging out with one of his coworkers and said coworker's family. it was a hoot - i talked to coworker's mom about quitting smoking ("it's not so hard," she says), 45s ("i tell you what, i kept them all upstairs and someday i'll organize them all...probably when i'm too old to do anything else") and boston. we spent all afternoon and most of the evening there and had a proverbial ball.
sunday, i did laundry and watched top model pretty much all day. i was texting with kat about this, but it merits being repeated: i am terrified to be out in the sun during the summer. if i can stay home and do nothing, i would rather do that. i have such a pressing and unstoppable fear (overtaking current fear #1, popping balloons) of contracting skin cancer that i would rather just stay in. it's something that i guess i will have to be better about (read: copious amounts of sunscreen, as i never put enough on) and it's something i think about every time i go outside.
the rest of the week has been long. i keep thinking it's friday. i'm not babysitting for lucien on mondays anymore, much to both of our chagrins, but i did dinner with zach, his dearly departed (switzerland and then california) roommate and some friends of theirs i've met a few times and it was nice just to hang out. tuesday was even better; post-babysitting, the weather was nice enough to hang on the roof so we got takeout, grabbed our band camp chairs (purchased on sale from kmart) and looked out on queens and manhattan while sharing beef and broccoli. loves it.
and now i am waiting for two perpetually tardy fellow staff members to get their acts together (and their asses here, i suppose) for a meeting that was scheduled to start at 4. there is another meeting ("MORE! MORE! MORE! said the editor") at 6, and i'm hoping it's a quickie so i can go to astoria and watch basketball.
and because YOU ARE PLAYING GOD I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!! woman has not written back to me yet, i shall take it upon myself to play on the internet until our meeting begins. laterzzz.
