My goal now is more posts, more often. Which means they'll be shorter, but hopefully less neurotic? Let's find out!
My other goal is to shovel all the loose pieces of paper from the floor of my office/computer room, separate them into piles of keep or recycle, and then roll around on the carpet laughing hysterically.
I turned in my end-o'-the-year kid's fiction portfolio this afternoon, which was satisfying in a "now I may die" kind of way. I have an extension for my other class that means I can keep adding to my fiction portfolio until August. Sometimes it pays to have various chronic medical conditions, kids. I recommend six or more doctors. Just in general.
I'm looking forward to stuff. Tomorrow I'm flying over to the cabin with my dog. Maybe Emily will show up while I'm there, but maybe she won't and I'll turn hermit until Monday.
Tonight I sat around with Marian watching a documentary about Queen, but we turned it off while Freddy Mercury was still healthy. Then we took off in Volpone (o glorious resurrection) for the Krispy Kreme in Delta, yet again.
As we left the drive-thru, simultaneously stuffing donuts into our mouths, swigging bottled water and singing along to Meatloaf, Marian said something like "Dude, we're gross. No wonder we're sad and alone."
"If this is sad and alone," I told her, "then chain me to the wall."
Marian started to laugh at that, for some reason, and choked on her donut water, spraying it everywhere. She tried to keep driving and just barely did, managing to keep us on the road while practically vomiting.
Which is how we came close to death on 72nd avenue, and a few minutes later, when Marian stopped choking, she told me to post about it.
See above.

I think the Krispy Kreme in Delta is host to some kind of glorious doughnut parasite that fills you with bi-weekly cravings once you taste the goodness that is Krispy Kreme.
Sad and alone with friends while laughing and choking on doughnuts sounds a little like not sad and alone at all, to me. But I could be crazy.
Yeah, that's the kind of sad and alone that I spend my life working to attain, and I am well pleased with my success.
Krispy Kreme is like a fine woman: she is cruel (so cruel), but you cannot help but want her.
I thought the Krispy Kreme in Delta closed down? I am so behind in donut gossip.
I thoroughly enjoyed this post.
Jess - No. You right. You right.
Marian - She is cold at first, like a fine woman, but she melts in your hands as you tend to her.
SD - Yes, it's still alive and kicking. And thankew!
