i love how sleepiness comes and goes in fits and starts. just 30 minutes ago i was dozing on my couch, trying to watch the movie "spun" with jen. now i'm awak enough to blog. plop plop ploppity plop on you.

the birthday was wonderful except for my mom, but i got her to hang up on me so that was pretty wonderful, too. my brownies with red hots in them (courtesy of jen and her new book) and the cookies with the orange bits and white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts in them went over really really well, i heard from lots of people that mattered and even a few that didn't, got a shitload of candy from various people, and a bunch of my favorite flowers ever and a handmade bag and some more candy courtesy of seeing-eye steph and phil, had some good venting phone calls with michelle, found out danielle is the biggest badass ever for asking my mom 30 seconds after the hang-up incident if she could call me back because she hadn't gotten to talk to me, went out and had a couple strongbows while coming up with new hatchendati laser center commercials with my partner in crime, came home and got some lovely emails from lovely people and continued in the celebrity pokemon while waiting for aol instant messenger to download onto my machine.

the combination of shitty computer and dial-up connection equaled a 25 minute download. wheeeeee.

and today, i think, was a very successful thrifting day, considering i got a sweetass orange leather suitcasey-type stewardessy looking 70s type bag from salvation army for 35 cents.

can't beat 35 cents with a stick.

jen also found the other bust we thought had been lost forever. turns out we thought we had seen it at a different goodwill. but no matter - it's in the hands of it's rightful owner now, until it gets passed on to fanny. which means butt.

and final destination 2, i'd like to go on record as saying, is by far the goriest bloodiest sickest shit i've ever seen. it was pretty fun.

what i saw of spun was good. i love me some john leguizamo.

and the final total of phone conversations with michelle today topped out at 4. i love free long distance on the cell phone.

so 26 has been good to me so far. now i'm going to bed. later, mofos.
