Stuff I’ve done
We have been lazy today. We slept in, then played a little bit of Wow just long enough to check our characters’ mailboxes and discuss plans for later. Pickle came out and played with us, running around the living room like a psychotic ball of fur and teeth and claws before attacking me ankles in the bathroom for no other reason than that I was standing on the bathroom rug. We showered, and Eddie had fun putting the shower head on the “spray flesh from bone” setting and “painting” my back red; it felt divine on my still terribly sore back. Then we drove up to Attleboro to check out Newbury Comics’s selection of lawn gnomes. From there we hit Stop & Shop to grab food for lunch and dinner, and then on to my store to grab some pink flamingos, tin foil, Breathe Right strips, and dishwasher soap.
Nanny is in good spirits, either that or has decided that she’s just going to do whatever the fuck she wants at this point in life. She wants to spend her money (she’s going to be doing that anyway, her chemo meds are about $650/cycle). She wants a sports car. She came upstairs last night and had Brian make her a drink. She made Brian go out and get her a DVD to watch. For the first time in several years she didn’t eat a salad with her dinner. She laughed at my joke about how it’s a short trip from breast cancer to colon cancer when your boobs already hang down that far anyway.
At now, since we’ve finished out dinner of fish and chips and have done some good stuff in WoW already (reaching level 36 and doing a Scarlet Monestary run with some guildmates), I think we’ll retrieve Pickle from her spot in the bathroom and retire to the bedroom for tv and books. We’ve both got work in the morning, and I’d like to be able to relax tonight so that I’m mellow enough tomorrow and don’t stab my idiot of a pharmacist in the eye with a spatula or brain her with a tray when she fucks something up.

I love LOVE the new design!! I’m debating adding a theme switcher, eventually but I love my current design.
I need to make a trip to Newbury Comics, I love that place.

I had a theme switcher for a long time, but once I hit something like 9 themes on it I decided enough was enough and stuck with just one, figuring that 90% of the visitors I had were there only because they wanted to see if I was naked on my webcam and the other 10% were people who stuck around long enough to realise that I didn’t, and nearly all of both categories didn’t care much about the theme either way. This one is cute; like my last couple it’s just a Hemingway theme that’s been tweaked a bit, and my only complaint being that if the first post is longer than the 2nd, the entries don’t line up properly, forcing me to do multiple edits on things until I get it right. Eventually I’ll figure out a way to get it working properly though.
And yes, Newbury Comics rocks. Eddie and I are in there at least once a week looking at new CDs and the action figures. We didn’t pick up anything new this week, but last week we got Amy Winehouse, The Cat Empire, and a Dropkick Murphys cd. Maybe this weekend we’ll get something new to listen to.
