afternoon ramble

okay.

number one: my sister kicks ass. because i'm a bad monkey and peeked at my christmas present early, i know that she made me my scarf, my beautiful and lovely black and white tim burton-esque scarf that i'm probably not going to take off until the thaw this spring.

number two: the city of soundsville (techno remixes of background music from the powerpuff girls) ROCKS my FACE

number three: records management most certainly does NOT rock my face. nor do any periodicals about it. especially those i have to edit. grr.

number 4: i am getting a very irritating reminder of why i get most of my mail sent directly to my office. i had a package arrive last tuesday. now, due to the fact that we don't have a mailbox, when something too large to shove through the mail slot arrives whilst my roommate and i are not on the premises, said object gets delivered to the real estate agency downstairs. now, as i was saying, a package containing precious, precious cigarettes arrived last tuesday. i've been trying to pick it up ever since. they appear to have taken most of the month of december off. so, i get to come into the office two to two-and-a-half hours late tomorrow, because i must get this package before christmas. i absolutely refuse to give mike bloomberg any more of my money. and tomorrow is the only time i can do it. thank goodness i told my family to send all gift-y things here. otherwise it wouldn't be christmas for me until sometime in the new year.

have i mentioned i live in the ghetto?

yeah. i live in the ghetto. and the mailman hates us. alas.

number five: my parents arrive tomorrow. my brother arrives at the weekend. my parents insufferable friends may be arriving this weekend as well. it's quite the family affair. all i have to say is thank god it's happening on my turf--that way, when it gets to be too much for me, i can just jump on the subway and run away.

i'm really glad that i don't have much too terribly interesting to say this week. the last month has been way too full of excitement. and not always in a good way.
