Le weekend

Pretty much sucked ass. We had Streetcar Friday & Saturday, with parties after both nights. The shows were fine, and I finished both The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and Pattern Recognition, so that didn't suck.

No, what sucked was feeling weak as a kitten all weekend, having to leave early Friday night because I was exhausted from losing 2 hours of sleep in the wee hours of Friday morning when Z came home drunk & called me to let him in because he had forgotten his keys, and having a panic/hysteria attack Saturday night during the party and having to leave early while trying to deal with people who didn't quite get what I was going through. Oh, and Father's Day yesterday, which is always a good time at our house.


So. Yippee. I'm just a bundle of cheer here today.

I'm also engaged in stuffing my face, since I'm tired of feeling so weak and so hungry. I've already gone far beyond what my usual daily intake is, and I'm still ravenous and headachey. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm fucking tired of it. I have a 9 mile run to do today, and I really need that exertion to clear all of this bad energy out.

In more cheerful news,

We are getting a hell of a storm here in downtown Minneapolis. As in, visibility is down to 100 yards, we're getting buffeted by sheets of rain, and it is darker than dark outside. I love it. I love thunderstorms and all bad weather, as long as I don't have to be in it for a prolonged period of time. OTOH, if we get a tornado? I'm heading for the basement.

edit: Here comes the hail.

It just goes to show you, Minneapolis is always behind both of the coasts in terms of fads. Both coasts had their apocalypse last week.

Today,

I love Defamer.com, because they dig up tidbits like this from the NY Daily News

Some engaging tidbits
So here’s what I’m hearing about that relationship.
A source VERY close to the deal is saying there’s a contract.
It’s worth $5 million.
It’s for five years.
There will be no sex.
The deal was sealed June 7.
That’s what I’m hearing.


And this is all I have to say about that whole mess:
Schadenfreude!
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place...
To be!
