corpora lente augescent cito extinguuntur

This lady was falling asleep the way that little kids do- sagging over with apparently no control then jerking back awake.
I took some great video of her but me and T-mobile are working on getting it to function, so I don't have it yet.


Also there's some other photos of other awesome people.


Took a pretty gnarly fall this weekend- 1am pissed at the cat and trying to carry her to her perch cause she's keeping us awake growling- it's pitch black- the trap door is open and I walk right onto nothing like Wiley Coyote going over a cliff then looking down and realizing there's nothing there. I fall 4 feet onto concrete & wood stairs. Giant abrasions on my hip and elbow, twisted ankle, fucked up neck, and some frantic cat scratches.
Really really really glad I'm not in a coma.


But my frown turned utterly upside-down when I got a surprise package from icarus_fell this weekend. It was like getting stictches then going out for ice cream.
Totally, awesomely, well timed.
Zebra clips, a whoopee cushion, glowsticks (which came in handy when we spent the night pounding beers with friends), a cute little blank book, pill-sponge expando animals (I dunno what they're called), a little stuffed bear, and more. It was grand.


anyway, PHOTOS!

EDIT:
Gory photos of my bruises now included

Sorry I've been off... not that you all must really notice but regardless, I've been addicted to stupid Facebook games. I've seriously been wasting an amount of time I didn't even know I had.

So because I've been such a sloth, I don't have much to report.

Last weekend Hunter and I WASHED the curtains (we smoke in the house, I know I know, ew, but whatever- it's my house) and the living room no longer smells like an ashtray that's been peed on by a cat. Yay.
Also got to mounting some of Hunter's Dad's artwork that we brought back from our Xmas trip- it's bloody fantastic and I've gotten to use POWER TOOLS to make mounting boards for them. Whee!

I've not seen anyone of intrest so no new photos... basically just a post to let you know I exist, and to share this hillarious article about how cats explot us with their purrs.
That's about it.

*yawn*
I know, exciting right?

I crawl out of bed in a haze, grab my shit in a state of semiconciousness that sometimes results in shirts that are turned inside-out.
I forget my coffee, but now I'm late, so off I go, hauling ass to the bus stop.

Within one block of the stop, it whizzes past me with an almost spiteful humm to it's engine.
"Hummmmmmmm, if you had left one minute ago you would have made it, HAHA"
WHIZZZZZZZZZZzzz


I'm standing there, like a fucking idiot, staring off into space, holding my bags and my phone, trying to decide what to do. I make up my mind to walk to the 82nd stop, where there's a bench, and possibly more entertaining wildlife.

I'm passing a pink plastic tampon applicator, a McDonalds stir-stick, cigarette butts, rusted metallic refuse, plasic ties, tissue paper, all degrading, as though they were ancient boulders, into unidentifiable particles that line the streets like confetti, random bits of things that were useful once, maybe, if you're feeling generous, but have now devolved into flecks of orange whatever in the gutters.
The cars drive mercilessly by, like a damn storm, wave after wave of grey toxic gas just wrapping me up and making me stink and cough and I'm so used to it I barely even notice anymore, but I bet to anyone who lives in the country I would smell like the fucking tailpipe of an 89 camry.
A car drives past me and slows down. I look straight ahead and keep up my pace, the nice way of saying I'm not a working girl.
There's gravel and it's in these traffic islands. Gravel and rocks. I pick up a nice big rock and I think about hitting people with it. How much damage could I do to a passing car if I threw this?
Then I look at it and try to imagine what this place must have been like in a time before humans came.
I heft the stone in my palm and turn it around and imagine lakes, streams, trees, wan morning sunlight and dew on leaves as I pass FAT CITY FIREWORKS and some drunks hooting and hollering outside the Hing Ming Market.
They're flailing their arms around and clearly all worked up about something. Maybe one of them saved up enough to buy a fresh can of Steel Reserve.

I get on the bus and I start thinking about this shitty ass thing that happened to me- how I'm going to have 138$ garnished by the fucking government from my goddamned paycheck becasue some asshole who bought my old car got a parking ticket and didn't bother to turn over the title.
I remember what I told Hunter when I found out via a friendly looking envelope covered sinister official print.
"When you're a little baby, life sweetly pats you on the head like a good puppy,
When you're a kid, life is tousling your hair with the occasional unwanted smack on the ass, and when you're an adolecent, life is putting it's hands into dark places and telling to to stay quiet becasue this is our little secret.
By the time you're grown up, life has dispensed with the finery and has you bent over. It's fucking you in the ass, with absolutely NO lubrication, and you know it's never going to stop until you die."

I had my annual review at work today and apparently I'm doing pretty well.
My boss literally had NO complaints or issues with me, and told me I was doing "awesome" and we pretty much just sat and bulshitted for half an hour.
I should have suspected everything was going to be okay after the executive director (my bosses boss) gave me flowers yesterday... but that was just cause they had forgotton to get me flowers when I first started, and everyone else got them. But still... anyway.
It's all good, and I'm feeling fucking rad.
After stressing out for the last month about this I'm feeling mightily relieved and somewhat amused, though my eye-twitch is starting to annoy the piss out of me, since it's over and done with, but apparently my body hasn't figured that out yet.

I don't know what kind of a raise I'm getting yet, but I'm greedily rubbing my hands together in my mind, and salivating like a pedophile in an amusement park.
Oh that was tasteless.
Cheers to me.

Alas, I've become grotequely addicted to "Farm Town" a rediculously pointless application on Facebook. It's so dumb but I just can't stop. Since I have these fucking absurd 12-hour shifts in front of a computer screen, and I CAN'T look at porn or download any programs (like WoW, probably for the best), I have to find ways to amuse myself when we're dead- which TBH, is a lot of the time.
SO I watch Hulu, and I learn to make origami, and I draw and sometimes I check my eyelids for lightleaks if I think I can get away wtih it- but man- what an utter waste of time that game is; and I really, really enjoy it.
Which reminds me, my IRL raspberries are just getting ripe, and eveything else in my garden is flourishing wildliy, so I'm going to spend some quality time wrestling with Audrey 3 the killer vine this weekend.

Ok, that was pretty much about nothing.


How's everyone in LJ land?

Today I spent twelve and a half hours on a work meet and greet- it was time consuming and bloody exhausting, just because of the number of people, and the fact that I'd slept 3 1/2 hours last night.
Anyway, from conception to end, this is probably the largest photo post anywhere, and I'm not even posting them all.

This is part 1 of 2, this is the pre tour shit- aw some stuff before we went on the trip that is not directly related, but is awesome- when I'm less drunk tomorrow I'll post more.


I just want to drink beer (thank you god for half off on good local brews) and stare vacantly into space, done with socializing, ready for nothing:
