Grumpy El Niño

Mondays: Buffy and that's about it.

Argh. I'm sitting here, trying to catch up on my entries for The Paperwork -- it's amazing how fast memory goes; I can't remember hardly anything we did this weekend -- and I don't want to do that. I don't want to do anything. I kind of want to go to sleep...except I slept 9 hours last night. Maybe it's too much sleep.

I want to go for a drive, but what's that going to accomplish, particularly when I have so much I have to get done?

I'm just grumpy.

Later: still grumpy. Just an out-of-sorts kind of day, I guess.

Darin and I went out to buy comics and get some lunch.

    DARIN and DIANE drive through pouring rain.

            DARIN
        Know why it's raining?
        
            DIANE
        El Niño?

    Darin starts laughing maniacally.

            DIANE (CONT.)
        Your laugh is really scaring me.
        
            DARIN
        Know why I'm laughing like this?
        
            DIANE
        No. Why?
        
            DARIN
        El Niño.

Welcome to the LA sense of humor: everything is El Niño. The whole Playing God fiasco? El Niño.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

Today, I recover. I ran 3 days in a row. That's not too bad.
