3 good, 3 less good, 3 random

Ethel gave me fraggle socks. They're awesome.

Yaaren took some pictures of me. I'm excited to look at them again; I think there are some that I really really like, pictures that look like *me*.

I will see birdfigment and hopefully also my brother tomorrow.

My throat hurts.

I haven't gotten enough sleep.

I gave my cute little car a good dose of cosmetic damage by scraping it on a pillar tonight. I feel like a huge idiot.

I saw sxoidmal walking down Hennepin.

I feel as though I should be eating better.

I'd like to be consumed by a novel again, sometime soon. I want to read something I don't want to put down, something I stay up too late to read more, something that makes me sad when it ends, not because it's sad but because there are no further adventures for the characters.

I lack coffee. I lack motivation.

I have things to do at work. Why is doing things at work difficult sometimes? I look at my inbox, at my notebook scrawled with notes and tasks I haven't done, and then I update lj. I wish that I'd stop feeling vaguely sick and so easily distracted. I think about the service tomorrow, the car I just scraped up, the class I'm taking tonight, the laundry I still haven't done. I wonder if the pictures we did last night look the same in real life as they do in my head, I think about moving and how I didn't want to and where I might live, about why the hell some people so are afraid of or upset about gay people, about friends far away, about email I started and never finished, about the show coming up and how I agreed to play for two hours, about how I don't really know what I'll play for two hours...

Really, so far I seem to be thinking about anything that's not updating our database or finding lost software or emailing a bunch of people about fiscal sponsorship or dealing with accounting details or posting the job that came in or creating the email account or attaching copies of checks to the registration file or sending receipts or any of the other weird little things I do here.

Maybe I really do need coffee to function. Here I thought a smoothie would be better for me.
