I feel hungover. I don't think that one beer I had last night is to blame either. I forgot how weird coming back to sea level can make you feel. I need a large coffee and my cat now please. We have to go pick up Wooster cat and Simon's next door will provide me with coffee.

Highlights of my trip I forgot to mention:

Wedding at swank hotel: The groom and his merry men all had black pimp cups with their names in rhinestones. Cause nothing is more manly than rhinestones. Hope they tipped their strippers well in Vegas.

We tried to drive up the mountain in the rain and fog and the whole city of Boulder disappeared. O_O

I tried to read Stephanie Meyer's The Host. But it was so so so bad. It is like fanfic for an episode of the X Files without Scully or Mulder. No really.

I read Scott Westerfield's wretched "Uglies" book. OMG learn how to write IN SCENE YOU MOTHERFUCKER.

What is with Crocs? They were everywhere like a plague of locusts. I saw giant tents full of them. And when the fifty something father with his two tween sons in front of you at the airport are all wearing Crocs the fad is over. Plus don't they look like gardening clogs that don't keep your feet dry?

OK, off to get cat and coffee. HELLO? HOW ARE YOU?

Capricorn Horoscope for week of May 29, 2008 from freewillastrology.com:

This would be a good week to celebrate failure -- to laugh about the comic horror stories of your past defeats, to gain a new appreciation for the prickly lessons you learned, and to let go of any regret, shame, or anger you might still be lugging around. I'd even recommend that you and your friends stage a Brag About Your Failures party. Try to outdo each other as you render in ignominious detail the things that went wrong, the mistakes you made, and the people who let you down. I think you'll be amazed at how effectively this will dissolve the karma left over from those misadventures -- and help free you from their ghostly clutches.

So lilaia and I should party on. Please join us?

Some of my failures and letdowns:

1. My father died because he didn't go to the doctor even though he was peeing blood for months. I was three.

2. I got upset when people picked on my until I was... Hmmm. Still failing there. YAY!

3. I was so shy I could not order for myself in a restaurant until I was 17. Thank god that has changed.

4. I wrote an anonymous love letter to a guy in college and when he figured out it was me and asked me out I said NO. I really did.

5. I got caught embezzling at age 5.

6. I drunkenly flashed my girlparts at a formal party in college while trying to show someone my stockings. Thankfully my friend (who sometimes reads this) came over and pulled my dress down. *facepalm* I still laugh about this one.

7. I once got my period on the bus home and I had to stand up and walk to the door and walk home with the entire back of my pants covered in red red blood. OUCH.

8. Pretty much everything that happened at my last real job before grad school.

9. The time my ballet teacher excoriated me in class for not wearing a bra. I was 13 and suddenly had boobs. O_O

10. So many past fandom incidents... Leaving it there.

Blackwater onesie.
