Off to a great start 2008...

I fired up the ole computer today for the first time in oh, I don't know, three weeks or so, and I realized that apart from celeb gossip (yee gods, Britney, please don't kill yourself sweetheart), I'm WAYY behind on my reading of blogs (which I cannot do at work).

I also realized that I am in dire need of posting. On the way home from Georgia I had about 8.75 hours to compose ideas for posts in my head. Fearing I would forget them, I ingeniously (is that a word? I probably spelled it wrong) created a mnemonic device to remember them: RSSS. Right.

Trouble is, I can't seem to remember all of them except two, and now those don't seem so fantastic, or I'm just not in the mood to do them.

What I am in the mood to do is complain. Bitch, really. Like Jenn, I find myself in a funk today and when I'm in a funk, not even mass quantities of junk food can ge me out of it.

Even though I had high hopes for 2008, below are things I am ultra-pissy about today:

* F-ing Blockbuster. Those assholes sent me a f-ing collection letter saying I didn't return House, Season 1, Disc 1. Apart from the fact that I KNOW that I did, I'm appalled that I've had a collection agency letter mailed to me. I think I'm going to write a nasty letter and then cancel my damn account like I've been wanting to anyway. Bastards. DOWN WITH BLOCKBUSTER!

* The way Masala behaved on our walk today - downright atrocious. And I was trying to be nice by going on an extra-long walk

* The way I behaved on my walk with Masala today - really, I should know better

* The giant mess on my counter in the kitchen

* The giant mess of clothes in my bedroom

* The giant electric bill/drafty house that is forcing me to freeze my ass off at 68 degrees even when I'm wearing two shirts, sweatpants, and furry socks

* Lack of willpower "this time of the month" and constant feeling of being too fat not because of bloating but rather because I can't say no to any thought of food that pops into my head. Hormones suck.

In happier news, I've overcome my New Year's Eve slogan of "Fuck you 2007!" and realized that despite the shit that happened in 2007, some really awesome things happened, too, so I shouldn't be such a hater. Highlights possibly to come at a later post - you know, if I find some good cheer at the bottom of this bottle of wine.

I would like to join you in expressing my dislike for both Blockbuster and 2007 (though I also had some great 2007 moments). Here's to Netflix, and here's to 2008.

May your bottle of wine lift you from your funk and bring you happy thoughts.
