Posted in fuck all, future plans, more happy pills please on 01.29.2010 | 5 Comments »

Last Thursday was one of those days. The water in my building was scheduled to be turned off from 9 am to 5 pm. Routine maintenance, they say. I can’t help but wonder why they do this about once a month. And always on a day when I’ve planned to do laundry. Miraculously, I managed [...]

The other morning, The Mook ate breakfast while sitting on the couch and I ate mine while checking e-mail at the kitchen table. (It’s our usual morning ritual, as neither of us are morning people.)
