You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Inexplicably, I was mad all day.
Sure, that’s not all that uncommon - I mean, there’s so much to be mad about! Poverty. The environment. Bush. Reruns of CSI.
But today, today, I was so mad, I could’ve ripped paper! I wanted to use my outdoor voice indoors! I even scrubbed my bathtub with an extremely abrasive cleanser!
Monotony, frustration, disappointment. The Mean Reds.
I’m not certain looking at big, shiny things through a plate glass window would’ve helped.
On the plus side, there will be no follow up posts regarding the iPod and the Geek Squad. I got a call yesterday asking me to swing by and pick up a replacement iPod. Mine, it seems, is irreparable. I kinda like the idea that I’ve rendered an object irreparable without inflicting any kind of physical damage. Ah - the power of negativity!
Yuo know, i got my mini brand new. and the screen never lit up, ever. straight out of the box. never. until it flickered on and then off the other night when i was charging it.
kudos to destroying an object with your mind. now if you could only take over the world.
i hear you, i’ve gone through entire days with my teeth gritting together, just wanting to break something!
hope your weekend is going well..
Lynn - why didn’t you take it back? Man, i would’ve been all over that..I delight in making things right, consumer advocacy, enforcing lemon laws, etc.
S! - unfortunately the mean reds carried over into the weekend. I know that happiness is a state of mind, and not something that can be bought or reached.. if that IS the case, maybe I just lack the physiological capability to be happy.
Life - she can be a slutty, fickle bitch.
honestly i had no clue it was supposed to light up at all and I’ve had this thing for at least two years (it’s practically obsolete!). now were i to get a brandy new one and on the box it screamed “LIGHTS UP!” well then of course I’d take it back.
