so tired
i am not sure why, but i am so tired today. it was overcast and grey most of the day, so maybe that is it.
i have done only a little work on my diss today and for some reason, i don't really give a fuck. jes is studying for her last final on thursday. but check this out. she came home today from her other final and was really upset and i was like "oh shit, the final did not go well" but she said "i am upset not b/c of my final, but b/c i am stressed" and i am thinking "well geez i know you have another final in a few days, but i don't think you should be this stressed ALREADY" and then she tells me that during her final today her phone kept ringing from an atlanta number. so she took a bathroom break to check the message and make sure everything was ok with her parentals.
it turns out that this detective from atlanta was calling her to tell her that he had a georgia state supreme court supoena requiring her to come back to atlanta TODAY to appear in a court case. see, last spring, while working at caribou coffee, she and her co-worker naija got robbed by this guy. they were not harmed (per se) but he did pull a box cutter on them and took a bunch of the money. so fast forward A WHOLE FUCKING YEAR and now they are telling her she has to come back. she is all "i can't, i have a final for law school on thursday." they weren't hearing it. she even tried to tell them that she is studying to be a criminal defense lawyer and would that get her out of it. nope, he said. so she actually leaves tomorrow to go and testify. she will be there for a day or two. they fly her out, put her up in a hotel, the whole nine. the only silver lining on this very grey cloud is that she will be just BLOCKS from taqueria del sol so she can get as many chicken and fish tacos as she wants while she is there. isn't that all fucked up? i think so.
the other crazy thing is that the terminix lady came out to the house to assess the termite situation. first of all, i think it is cool it was a lady and not a guy. maybe there is equity in termite killing, i don't know, but i was surprised to say the least.
second crazy thing about that: she sort of looked a little like carmen from the l word which is altogether wonderful. when i im-ed supper club kim that, she was like "did you get a picture of her?" how hilarious would that be if i was "hey terminator lady, can i get your picture?" so she came into our apt to observe the few termite carcasses left on our floor, and my landlady kristin was there too and larrykitty went up to both of them trying to get some love. kristin was like "oh larry likes to be scratched doesn't he?" and i was like "larry likes the lovin'" and kristin then asked "does larry like to be spanked" and I said "yes, he does" and then carmen lookalike terminator says "WELL DOESN'T EVERYONE?" i nearly fell out. right there, all up on the dead termite carcasses.
i look forward to her return tomorrow when she "sets the bait traps." yeah you got it, she has to come and "check the traps" every now and again. loves it.
ok the reason i even started this was so that i could post this adorable pic of my nephew: SUPERBEN. how cute is he?
that is all for now. i need dinner soon so jes needs to move it through these cases she is reviewing. i am so over studying right now.
