damn dirty apes.
i was just out running some errands. it's very very grey, stormy grey. and while it LOOKS fall, it doesn't have the nip in the air to FEEL it. it's breezy and mild. it's pretty dark, for 8:30, but the days are getting shorter and shorter, aren't they?
anyway, i was out running errands and three things happened to me that made me think there is an odd vibe in the air tonight. ok, one thing made me think there was an odd vibe. one thing just annoyed me, and the other just disturbed me slightly. first, i stopped at the gas station. to get gas. duh. and i was inside, buying a soda pop. i was behind two people, in line, who only seemed to speak spanish. they were having a repetative conversation, about phone cards. this woman came up and got some gum and shoved her way in front of the couple in line to get her money on the counter. as she did that, the couple moved away, essentially putting her in front of me. she cut. she was a CUTTER. so i started giving her THAT LOOK. the one you can feel someone give you, even if you aren't looking at them. she turned to look at me, and my LOOK. and i said as sweetly as possible, "because your gum purchase is more important than my soda pop purchase, why?"
i hate cutters.
as i was driving down the road from the gas station, i saw a guy walking down the street in jeans, a sweatshirt, and a full planet of the apes mask. covered his whole head. i kid you not. just ambling on down the sidewalk.
then i was coming out of a store, and i saw a truck with business info painted on it for "the mole guys." had a little picture of a mole which said, "got moles?" underneath it. well this was an open bed truck and it was just full of nasty, rusty, sharp and deadly traps. i don't know what i was thinking they'd do with the moles. i guess i didn't really think they transplanted them to a mole reserve somewhere. but the sight of all those traps... there was something kinda ... grody about it.
speaking of grody, the elevator in my apartment building smells like dirty diapers tonight. but, on a positive side, i did a load of a laundry so now i DO have clean underpants in many colors. as well as a clean sheets to put on the bed. hooray.
oh, and the current winner of the Cheapest Nekkid Dance is romy, at a thousand. since writing that question, i've come to realize that i, too, am a cheap nekkid dancer, and i'd have to say that for a thousand, you could probably have a choice between me and romy.
