I wrote today's entry last night while I was not, in the truest sense, awake. I didn't even remember until just now, when I started to write today's entry and thought ... uh, I might have done that already. It was not, how we say, well-written. An idea that didn't quite gel. Enough said. I'm just glad I didn't post it.
Vacation is rushing by too fast. How's that for a news bulletin.
Spritopias postd the list of The Banes of His Existence; I know he did because I saw it, but I can't find it, now. I've seen a couple of other people do it to, so I thought ... here's what I came up with. I don't know if they're in any order, and I probably don't have ten.
- My colon.
- My sinuses.
- Cat poop.
- Passive-aggressiveness.
- Bad grammar.
- Self-righteousness.
- People who think they are all that (to borrow an expression of K's).
- Exercise.
- Car trouble.
