2002-11-26 & 5:16 p.m. : i don't have a banner, and this is something of a point of pride for me.

this is not a lie:

i have not taken a call in like an hour and a half. the phones are dead. i mean, they are working, people just couldn't give a fuck about their leases because they are all on vacation or something or amybe they are so entranced by the idea of turkey and stuffing on thurs that they are just not wanting to call and harrass my ass about their lease problems.

that's great, i am in full support of that.

in the itnerim, we have been on the inter-office instant messenger playing trivia and talking chinese astrology.

two great tastes that taste great together when you're stuck in a cubicle with fuck all else to do.

i talked to kim last night and apparently, she's really coming here this weekend.

hot damn doods! i think she is bringng apple brandy and i will of course supply whiskey and wine and i think we are going to go get actual glass tumblers so i don't have to serve her whiskey or brandy (i guess i need brandy glasses too? hot damn!) out of my porcelain china cups.

my face has gotten this unknown oil sheen all over it, and i don't understand it because i haven't sweated since it's been like 25 degrees outside. tonight, the low is 8.

8.

a single digit.

for my metric friends, that's -13.333333333333334.

i still haven't seen it snow, but i did see ice this morning, that was rad. there was a big chunk of it that seemed to have fallen from a higher level window of the classy hotel that's up the street from my apt building. i imagine if it hit someone on the head, it would have hurt a lot. but i don't know, i've never had that happen.

although, i have never taken a bat to the mouth either, and i'm pretty sure that smarts, and also leaves a mark.

i stole a mug from the break room this morning, i only ate half my lunch, and now i am drinking honeydew fruitwater.

there's only 45 minutes left and i think i have been here for the last 12 years. i don't know if my ass will separate from the chair at this point.

all day i have been reading back entries of this kid because no one is updating and she never ever disappoints.

yet another cool person to meet in seattle.

cedar rapids can eat a bag of dicks.
