I AM LIKE A WALKING HELEN KELLER JOKE

I can't walk, can't talk and  have an eye infection so I  can't see. A deaf guy gave me his seat on the train at least we were both able to sign/speak our needs. D asked why I even came to work.

DOW CLOSED...

...at a record high. I will be on crutches for at least three more weeks. Some asshole gave me the wrong boot, which made the pain and swelling worse. 

YAHRZEIT

My father died nine years ago today.

It gets dark earlier every night. At least working the hours I do it's light when I head home.

SKULD

While I'm in a Bergman kick:

Mom's doctor, who has never seen me, let alone examined me, says I have a stress fracture caused by inadequate footwear. Of course I feel guilty about this. 

NEWMAN!

I swear Paul Newman put crack in his salad dressing. I could drink the stuff out of the bottle. 

NAME THAT BABY

At least this guy admits there is not St. Todd: http://catholicexchange.com/guidelines-for-naming-your-baby

RED LETTER DAY

Eleven years ago today they caught the snipers. One year ago I was crying on your shoulder. 

Wednesday, October 23, 2013

PROBABLY ONE REASON I HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER ON-AIR-CONTENT:


BREAKING MY FOOT...

...did not suck as much as getting robbed. No one else got hurt.

THE DAY AFTER THAT

I should really stop numbering days, since it's been over a year since the robbery. I am feeling kind of spacey and weird, probably from reading old posts right before and after it.

SO MANY NIGHTS

V has referred to the weather as "apocalyptic" or "Armageddonish."

SHARP-DRESSED MAN

After over a year I realize I like looking at long-legged men in tapered pants and  long-sleeved shirts.

NEXT DAY

Sorry to be such a downer.

ORDER OF THE DAY

1) Work

AS THE STOMACH TURNS

And the lungs or whatever. ER doc fucked up--it turns out the conjunctivitis I had was bacterial, not viral. And I've got bronchitis, too.

CONVERSATION WITH MOM

Mom: I hope you don't have one of those ridiculous names.

Me: Um, I'm Janedoe, Radiobaby, Snipercatcher and Nicecatholicgirl.

Note: Nicecatholicgirl seems to evoke the most hostility on Youtube.

Dark chocolate and tart cherry juice.

Running a fever of 100.2 and hurting all over. My eyes are fire-engine red and they are so gunked up my eyelashes are stuck together.

Incredibly wet weather, of course at the end of the week.

Me: I got tested for TB because I lost 23 pounds.

Mom: Oh. Yeah.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP

Got a phone call about a bisexual bachelorette party. The bride is marrying a man but wants a female stripper. Some of the guests are going to be naked but I am told I can keep my clothes on. 

DAY

"Rabbi Shimmel's own wife was said to resemble a squid, but this was only in the face, and she more than made up for it by her hacking cough -- the point of which escapes me."

Woody Allen

DAY

Today is John Lennon's birthday. He would have been 73. Yesterday was my ex's birthday. I forget how old he would have been. This is a picture of Lennon, not my ex:

CONVERSATION WITH MOM



Me: “…according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought — particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things…Not only is there no God, but try getting a plumber on weekends.”

Mom: You’ve been reading Woody Allen

DAY

I am worried about becoming an Ibuprofen junky. I used to be a heroin addict...

WEEK

Government shutdown is the big story this week. Temperatures were up to near 90, which takes the starch out of me. Not that it's relevant to me, but gas was going for $3.41/gallon at the Sunoco station on U St.

GAME OF THRONES

The handicap bathroom is not a shrine. 

DAY

Why am I so tired all the time?
