An Update in Tidbits

First, I'm back in College Town for "good," after spending the last week going back and forth between Small Town and Kansas City and Small Town and College Town and Small Town. Hooray for my coffee maker and being close to tasty coffee and having places to go where I won't be stir crazy.

Second, I didn't call Hershey when I got back to College Town on Wednesday night. I did, however, text him under the guise of wanting to return the book I borrowed from him (which, incidentally, I loved). The text was my compromise, and I would like to say that I was right, as he did not respond. This bothers me, not because Hershey specifically ignored me, but because I hate being ignored in general. It is a pet peeve of mine, probably rooted in the fact that my small stature makes it easy to overlook me - sort of. I tend to demand attention when I really want it. On the negative side, sometimes my way of demanding that attention is childish or bitchy, two things that I do not want to show Hershey.* This is my spoken resolution to rise above my instinct to throw a hissy fit about this.

Third, I watched the vice presidential debate last night while chatting online with the Wifey.** About ten minutes in, we decided that the debate could have been a great drinking game. The rules are as follows: Any time Sarah Palin says "Alaska" or "maverick," you drink. Anyone playing would have been wasted by the time things were over.

Fourth, I have zero desire to go find work appropriate clothes and spend my entire afternoon shelving books.

Fifth, I have even less desire to come home from work and spend my entire Friday night cleaning my apartment, but that is what I'm going to be doing. I mentioned that to my mom, who suggested that I do not sit down when I get home, but immediately jump into cleaning. Apparently sitting down makes getting up and being productive impossible.

Sixth, I started a new book last night, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. A hundred pages in, and I'm already in love. Thanks to Bizz for the recommendation!

A real post is coming soon, I promise.

*At least not yet. Come on.
** Yes, I have a Wifey.

Yay for my book rec! I really hope you like it. Also, yay for cleaning! I always feel so much better after I clean. It's a pain in the ass, but it's worth it when it's over.

Sarah Palin can see Russia from her howse.

*giggles*

Apparently my mom loves Sarah Palin. I told her I couldn't stand the woman. I couldn't bring myself to tell her that a woman who will stand behind someone stopping another woman from making a choice about her body wasn't someone I wanted in office. Instead I told her it was a gut feeling. It worked.

I want to read that book.
