Posting Everyday in January Post

Things I heard today:


1. Best and worst compliment yelled to me on the street today:

Best (This requires a short explanation.  I have a lot of very curly hair, and I began going gray in my twenties.  And I know this sounds odd, but for some reason, people on the street are always saying things to me about my hair.  Like, at least once a day.  Often, the comments are from people who are overtly mentally ill, but not always.) So, back to the best compliment --"Hey, baby!  I dig that salt-and-puppy hair!"  Salt-and puppy.  I could not have been happier.

Worst -- "You must have been something, back in the day!"  Why not just yell, "You are old" at me instead?

2.  Most interesting question and answer heard at work today (I'm a lawyer, and I was watching a colleague who was trying a murder case)

      Question (by the prosecutor): "Did you consider the defendant to be a friend?"
      Answer (by the witness): "If by friend you mean, did we fuck hos together, then no."

3.  Best comment by a passenger in my car on a subway stuck at Columbus Circle (loudly, and in a thick West Indian accent):  "Columbus Circle is bullshit, mon!"

So, that was my day!  How was yours?

Giggling at the 'salt and puppy' and the witness comment and the subway comment - all human life is there!

Ignore the idiot with the 'back in the day' - doesn't know a good thing when you are under his nose, stupid man.

I had the most ridiculous allergic reaction to something today (god knows what) and my left eye got all swollen. So I spent the day in an anti-histimine daze trying to remember what the hell I was supposed to be doing and looking like I'd gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson - minus the ear biting. (Although I was so dopey I might not have noticed the ear biting...

Oh, I'm so sorry about your eye! Thanks for using your good one to read this. *g*

BTW, I've been reading drsquidlove's G/X non-stop -- New York, and Hands Down, which were both great.

Well, not exactly non-stop, because I'm currently in the middle of Te's Strays, which I thought was Spander, but really seems to be Xander/Everyone. And guh!

Hoping you feel better soon, hon.

Hee, we'll get you completely hooked on G/X before long. I have a pile I'm itching to introduce you to.

As for Strays, it's one of my all time comfort fics - which says a lot about me, but yeah, the boy gets around, but in the end it's all about Xander/Oz and it's gorgeous.

Eye has settled - I've had Friday night curry and wine and about the settle down whatever the PVR has captured! *g*
