The Indulgences

Aaaaaargh! I said I'd work an extra shift today and I forgot about it! I woke up several hours into the shift and it was another half-hour before I remembered I was supposed to be somewhere. I was just sitting there thinking about the financial difficulty of keeping my guinea pigs in hay (the financial difficulty of keeping the phones on is perhaps a bigger stumbling block). So I arrived two-and-a-half hours late and my slowly emerging plan for the day has been well and truly scuttled.

Shortly after I arrived at the library, Terry told me that Joseph had been in on Saturday and left some things for me. I had hard copies of the photographs he had e-mailed to me earlier, a Richard Ashcroft CD, and a metal kazoo (all of which went some way toward making me feel a bit better). I'd be all right if I thought I could get away with playing my kazoo here in the library.

I was up all night building an entry for Song Fight; I don't know if I would have remembered to go into work if I'd gone to bed last night, but it's the reason I was asleep at three in the afternoon. The song is called "...In Bed" and it's features the voice of God reading 40 of his favorite fortune cookie messages. Treat it kindly.
