Mmmmm!! Cake!!

A birthday party from your coworkers is one of the best possible ways to begin a week!

And Will remembered I'm a chocoholic! Mmmmmmm for chocolate cake with chocolate pudding layers!!

For all the disgruntled Anita Blake fans...

Considering a recent conversation with one of you, I thought this might go over well.

("Has your website reviewed the new Anita Blake yet?"
"Not yet. How is it?"
**uncontrollable foaming at the mouth**)

disgusting chores

I have to clean my apartment tonight. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's a fucking disaster area. (Still not as bad as it's been at some times, but hey, I'm 25 now, right? I have to start trying to pass myself off as a grownup!)

I figure if I'm stuck having to do it, I might as well get a pizza and some cider, turn on the NBA playoffs (nobody I like is playing tonight!! booooo!!!! [well, I do like the Jazz, but I don't think anyone's betting on them this year]) and make an evening of it.

By 10 pm I expect I'll be calling atomicnumber51 to complain that it's just a fridge and I don't really want to be a grownup anyway.
