Saturday night's all right for...well....
Nov. 5th, 2004 11:11 pmI have my biopsy in the morning. Rah rah. I'm not happy about it, but I hear they have excellent new drugs these days.
In consolation thereof, however, I have a fabulous pair of new boots that will not only look cool at work, but happen to be quite comfy. And they're pointy!
Better yet, I am currently holding, on my velvet-clad lap, Season Three of The West Wing. This will occupy me all weekend. Again, if you'd like to join me, just let me know. And bring Pepsi.
One of the very sweet but very...um...well, sweet women at work did remember to vote.
"You voted, right, Nikk?"
"!!! Of COURSE I voted!"
"You voted for Bush, right? I hope you voted for Bush!"
Blank look. My G-d, she's really asking me that. Blink. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?"
"You didn't???"
"Are you insane? What on EARTH would make you vote for Bush?"
"Well, he just...seemed to do better with the issues."
(Mounting, whirling dervish in my brain.) "Michelle, you know NOTHING about the issues because you never look at a newspaper, and you never watch TV. The ONLY things you know about ANY issues are what _I_ come in and TELL YOU!"
"Oh, well...uh...that's true. Oh, well."
And she has two draft-age sons.
My G-d. Even our customers got in on the act, berating Lauren for not even registering. Lauren foolishly looked to me for some support. Christ, you must be kidding. It's not like registering was only possible for ten minutes on the third Tuesday of the month and only if it rained.
[Sam breaks a date with Mallory McGarry to write a birthday message]
Sam Seaborn : This is something that came up unexpectedly, Mallory.
Mallory O'Brian : It's his 50th birthday, Sam. They couldn't have seen this coming for, like, the last 50 years?
I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.

biopsies a while ago.
Did I miss something?
Anyway, since it's already tomorrow (for me) from when you posted this, I hope it all
goes well.
