(no subject)

The next person who flips their shit because tomorrow is a federal holiday due to it being a national day of mourning, as is customary when US Presidents die and thus is not something ~special~ for Bush Sr. is going to get hit with the biggest goddamn book I can find. I'm sorry your mail and shit won't be delivered. I really am. Considering I have mail that would very likely be delivered tomorrow if not for it being a "surprise, holiday!" day, I get it. But also... I'm getting tired of hearing the same song being sung but different people. K? And this is from someone who has been kind of surprised by how many people are wringing their hankies over his death while I feel not much at all. Maybe I used up my grief earlier. Maybe I'm in that weird place where you feel nothing for all kinds of things. Dunno. But I do feel annoyed so it's not that I feel nothing about everything. :P

Shocked I say

So Comcast came the other day (Saturday, right?) and SHOCK OF SHOCKS it was the box needing to be replaced. I know. Such a surprise. I need to call or have Mom call and *cough* politely inquire as to compensation for the fact that they straight up lied to my actual face previously and for the last six months I haven't had service in that room.

Also, the old TV finally did exactly what I knew it would do and stub the ever loving fuck out of my toes. You know when you slam your toes into something so hard and so quick that you're worried you broke them? That was me this morning. They didn't turn fun colors so I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything more than smush 'em but still. Not fun.

What was fun was getting the AG Berry Rewards email this morning. Berry members get a free gift again this year and while it's not as good as last year's, it's also not the Lilac meet dress from the passport fiasco and my order has so far gone off without a hitch. So, y'know, it's something. You could choose from three dresses and I chose the Western Chambray Outfit that I've had my eye on since its release. I've heard that it's really tight so Nellie and the skinnier dolls will be the only ones to try it but the other options were:
Sunny Day Dress which highlights the arm/neck joints and they're not my favorite things and also the fluffballs on the headband aren't a thing I enjoy, nor are the shoe colors. I do like that it's embroidered all the way around though.
Winter Sightseeing Outfit is one that just looks odd all together and also the part I like best (the shirt design) has been known to peel right the hell off the shirt so... no, thanks.

Last year was better in that you had more choices and they were all new outfits, but I think I'll enjoy this more than the first year they did a Berry reward and randomly sent out one of their cookbooks as the gift. Free is free and I wanted the outfit I chose so I won't bitch.

About that, anyway. This is the second meal in a row where there's been something funky and I don't know if it's the food or the dishes or what. I can't even describe it other than it seems... waxy? So it could be that someone didn't rinse the dishes and it's actually soap. But it's ticking me off.

It's obnoxiously sunny and my period is making me cranky, so I'm going to pour myself something to drink, wish I had cookies, and watch some more of the ever adorable Hilda.
