t.g.i.m.f-ing.f, year 0

praise g. for small mercies... this week is over! work today was same as always i noticed though, that nobody gets to finish a conversation anymore.. without a phone ringing or having to leave the room or whatever. i think i've started the same conversation 4 weeks in a row and never get past the first few words... hysterical. oh well can't be that important.
my friend shaleea is here. there's an author speaking today so those of us holding down the fort are really enjoying.. its so quiet. i'm hoping it stays this way till i leave at 5:45.
i'm getting out 15 minutes early so i can make it to the vet to pick up mine cat jack (this is the second semi-emergency drop off i've had to do in 3 weeks) - his insulin level or sugar level or whatever got all fucked up again and last night and this a.m. he would not eat a thing.. i tried 4 different flavors of cat food and he wouldn't even eat turkey ..... so he's there now.. they said around noon he had eaten at least 1/2 a can of food.... and hopefully he's had his insulin and will be better when i take him home. dr. bo said we may need to up the levels - i'm game if it'll help however i do not wish to kill my cat. it is very very tiresome. the vet show me this jumbo syringe thing that can be used to "force feed" your cat... if anyone out there has seen the movie "the titticut follies" you will understand my abject aversion to doing that but if i must i will - the idea is really just to shoot some food in his mouth.. not down his throat or anything.
so how about ed bradley. he dead. i always liked ed bradley on 60 minutes - it was the earring.. it said "bad ass" and "i don't give a fuck about media convention" you go ed bradley, continue rocking in the afterlife. (however i read he was good friends with jimmy buffet.. questionable.)
other then that my weekend is packed with pretty much nothing.. hoping to do dinner on sunday or saturday- tonight will be laden with junk food i hope. i'm not in the mood for anything though. we'll see what heinens has to offer.
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh phooey... 1 hr. and 15 minutes to go.
enjoy your weekend all. get some cake or something - maybe a nice biscotti.
amen,
thea

thursday... praise g. one less day in this week!!! nov. 9, year 0
went to see lloyd cole tuesday with the welk which was quite awesome! we had a really good time... and to think i was on the fence about going there or going to bed... sooooo happy we went. the show was fan-f..ing-tastic. sounded great, played all the great songs i love.. and i got to give him a "super thank you" in person after the show. also kudos (a la michael york) to carolyn... for being as funny and fun to hang out with at a show as she ever was..! it was good to get out. that and the total mind-fix administered to me by my friend marilyn last saturday..big ups to her too for reminding me to "fuck everyone" not literally of course but figurativly in the way that keeps you sane and not spinning your d.i.m.e. all weekend... she is super terrific and the bloody mary's didn't hurt either. look at me distributing big ups all over the place. on that note another big ups to chris for voting humor on tuesday.
i'm so happy this week is almost over.. its just been kind of tedious... of couse working on saturday will also be tedious but i work early and i'm out early which leaves me free for a while anyhow. and i'm off sunday. so all in all things are looking up!
here are some good things about life:
* una and mia coming to visit me at work
* una saying "frincess"
* seeing lloyd cole
* ma'dogs
* perogies
* sharks
* water
* the weather today... and not having to turn my heat on!
* crazy people at the liberry and of course ron's immitation of them
* seinfeld at 11:00 in bed.
* ma' landlord/hero fixing my roof at least temporarily
* the fact that i only have 1 hr. and 15 minutes left of work today
* crab filled lobster coated in cheese and breading and deep fried with cream sauce.. i made that up but c'mon it sounds pretty good.
* sleep
on that note i think i will go fill time somehow... and pray for the arrival of 8:00.
good night and by all means please enjoy your cake.
thea

i almost wrote monday... nope its tuesday or as i like to call it monday II, year 0
geez i'm tired.. but i'm going out tonight... for the first time in forever... the welk and i are going to see lloyd cole at the winchester whatever in lakewood... i hope its good, i hope we can stay past 10:00 p.m. (it starts at 9:30)... but we's old ladies now.
--- other then that work is tiresome.. but livable and some parts are really good and fun.
--- work at the liberry is exactly the same pretty much day after day after day after day.... so i sit here at my desk and people watch..... lately i've been following the saga of a coupla teenagers from the school across the way....it makes me a little sad-- i talk to both of them pretty frequently both nice.. shaleeah (i don't know if thats how she spells it) is super nice girl with this GINORMOUS crush on this kinda gothy kid (its a strange combo to say the least)... anyhow she has amped her game up... she dresses differently(almost prom like which isn't her normal mode of dress), wearing makeup up, uber flirty to the point of verging on theatrical but very sweet..... and he....is oblivious as teenage boys are....( i feel like i should be whispering but i'm only typing but she's at computer 6 and he's on 5).... and of course he's dating someone else. so my friend cheryl is like someone should tell her so (as cheryl would say....) "she can stop actin the fool" (thank god i already worked out a code with friends for that sort of thing for myself... thank god for the welk and the phrase "tippy toe") - one of my favorite phrases. i understand she is desperate (like we all were in high school). she's sweet and i hate it because i felt the same way in h.s. "if i dress like this he'll like me.... if i act more like this, or change mine hairdoo or wear eyeliner or don't wear eyeliner or lose weight... " it makes your stomach flip to feel that way even viacariously through someone 20 years younger but in a few years she hopefully be saying "what was that kids name?". you're asking thea, why are you so interested in these kids because other then that i get 30+ year old men asking me to help them find video game "cheat codes"on the computer to fill my time. ... dude shouldn't you have a job? scary scary place the liberry.
--- also i guess my favorite patron who yelled that i was trying to ruin her dancing career in new york city had a massive blow up today all crazy and yelling at the poll workers! almost to the point of fisticuffs.. can't believe i missed it..... i guess it was quite a wild scene. love that.
anyhow the boss is gone.. i'm here for 2 more hours so i'm going to go read a book.
amen praise g and pray that i can stay awake for at least an hour of lloyd coles music tonight.
if i could figure a way to take a nap here at my desk for the next 2 hrs. that would be brilliant.
later gators,
me
