Laughter Takes the Edge Off the Pain
Today was a pretty shitty day. Those who know me will understand that the simple fact that I used the word "shitty" makes it so, but for the rest let me count the ways:
It was third in as many days that a perpetually delayed project stressed me out to no end. I felt mentally and physically wiped out by the time I crawled back to my apartment. Acting even more asocial than usual, I turned down not one but two different friends' evenings out. Finally - in a fit of pique (or of spite) - my dinner exploded in the microwave.
Fortunately, there were two things that cheered me up. One was an email. The second was a couple of episodes of "Futurama," whose first season my brother had the kindness and foresight to give me as a gift.
Sweet, sweet geek escapism...
