just when I thought that we were winning

Today really sucked. I almost cried. I have once at work, just once, and it was because I hate Michael Jackson. Today I just had had it. I came in early, at 5:30, because I thought there may be some extra news this morning. There wasn't really, but there's always so much to do. There was lots to do at 5:30 and 6:30 and every :30 until 4:30, at which point I left.

Then I came home and there was a bug. A bug. I do not like bugs. When I saw the bug, I was playing my answering machine. On it, some dude who did not even say who he was or where he was calling from said it was important that I return his call "on an immediate basis." Seriously? Clearly, I told him (or, his voice on the answering machine) that he could blow me on an immediate basis. So yeah, back to the bug. I killed it, but then he had like 4 friends. It was not OK. I work and work and come home and curse out weird people on my answering machine and all I want is to drink iced tea in peace, but no. Then I have to deal with bugs. F-ing bugs.

I got an email from myself today, one of those reminder dealies, and it reminded me that Belle & Sebastian's cover of Rod Stewart's "Baby Jane" came out today, which I love because of the Jane and because it is great. The real song, I mean. I hadn't heard the cover. And good luck hearing it, because iTunes is hating on my Americanness. Haters. I found it on some strange German site or something. They had a preview. That was enough. I liked it, but I wanted to hear the real one and sing along. Loud. I did. I live.
