Thursday, September 01, 2005 How's your day been going?
Earlier tonight, I was at some friends' house with Tracy, waiting to leave for roller skating, watching TV. Earlier, my friend had asked, "So, what did you do today?" Worried about New Orleans, Tracy said. I agreed. (I also helped my housemates shampoo the carpet, which was a total pain in the ass, and yet I had to keep reminding myself that I was very lucky to have a house and a carpet and shampoo, so I was able to feel guilty and sad as well as bored and annoyed. Thoughts and prayers, guys! Thoughts and prayers. Gag.)
Anyway, we were watching TV, and talking, and watching TV, and on the way over we'd kept staring at gas stations and so forth, and gauging where we were on the spectrum of future troubles. We were all more on the end of "Somewhat inconvenienced" rather than the common, "So very, very fucked." We kept repeating the news we'd heard and read all day back to each other. Then there was a lull, and the news faded into a commericial. The screen flashed the words "BAD NEWS" and then a cheerful woman's voice said, "There's been enough bad news...for arthritis sufferers!"
We laughed hard for like, thirty seconds straight, almost 'til we cried. posted by Frenzy Lohan | 9/01/2005 10:07:00 PM
