  My whirligigs, which I so lovingly put up a few weeks ago above my deck, are driving me insane. Insane in the membrane! INSANE IN THE BRAIN! Stupid wind. Snapped my big rainbow twirler off its axis, tossed 2 of my plastic twirlers onto the roof, and had been slamming my windchimes around SINCE 4 AM.
Not nice, tinkle tinkle kind of noise produced, but rather the bells of freakin' Notre Dame. That said, I'll take anything to get the Crash Bandicoot music out of my head. Thank you, Nivia, for turning me into a video game addict. I've been playing 3-4 hours a day. Not healthy. Had breakfast with Marla yesterday. Yes, Marla "You are the ringleader of a group at work trying to get me fired" Hanify, stubborn born again.
She took me out for my birthday, saying she was sorry she'd missed my party as she would have liked to have come. Yeah. She said it like I'd invited her, but not soon enough to get the time off of work, when in fact I never invited her at all. Breakfast was fine--The Library Cafe on 85th and 9th is quite spiffy. Applied for the POS position at work. Computer detail-oriented job thingy, with guaranteed 40 hours and a set work schedule. Really though: anything to stop checking. Last night I sold alcohol to a man who reeked of cheap booze and was actually too drunk to speak.
He kept mumbling what sounded like could once have been words until his inebriated tongue mangled all life out of them. I couldn't be bothered NOT to sell him his 18 pack of Rainier, though; it's his liver, right?
