Another Hump Day

So it's Wednesday. Again. Go figure.

Not-so-great or Bad Things That Happened or will Happen today:

1. Water shut off in my apartment - they are replacing the main pipes and if I need to pee (or poop, because hey, that happens too) I have to use Apartment #9's bathroom

2. Staff Meeting

3. Got caught by neighbor singing "Beautiful Pig..." to the tune of "Beautiful Girl" from "Singing in the Rain" while walking Pig today. Goes like this: "Beautiful Pig....you're a lovely picture, Beautiful Pig...you're a gorgeous mixture..." How embarassing. Incidentally I also like to sing "Beautiful" by Snoop Dogg. Goes like this: "Beautiful...I just want you to know...you're my favorite Pig...."

4. Have used 12 vacation days this year, but am allowed only 15 and there's still Xmas and New Year's to go

5. Was going to a screening tonight of "Life Aquatic" followed by a Q&A with Wes Anderson, but he cancelled at the last minute and is sending his editor and composer instead

Good Things That Happened or will Happen Today:

1. Apartment #9 is vacant

2. Have not had to pee or poop while at home

3. New Assistant showed up

4. New Assistant appears fairly promising - seems intelligent and enthusiastic

5. Bagels

6. Found leftover Halloween candy hidden under the fax machine cabinet at work

7. Spotted a used condom on the sidewalk on Santa Monica Blvd. before Pig did and managed, just barely, to prevent her from picking it up

8. Booked Xmas flight - got a decent flight for $300

9. Going to see "The Incredibles" tonight

10. Slept well last night - only woke up once and fell back asleep very quickly


So all in all, a fairly good Hump day.
