Random scattershot for Good Friday

I'm feeling out of sorts today. I feel like a kid who had just found out on the fourth of July that his parents are getting a divorce before their long planned August Disney vacation. Just frustrated and likely to take people and shake them until their teeth rattle, you know?

Speaking of teeth, I watched the movie Teeth (PLOT SPOILERS at that link!) last night. Wonderful, dark, disturbing, graphic comedy. I laughed my ass off, but it could be pretty disturbing (or alternately, empowering) for rape or molestation survivors. I know there are a few times in my life I wish I had posessed vagina dentata.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger needs to choke on her own over collagened lips. Just saying.

Ugh. I'm going to go eat some breakfast and donate blood. Double reds, if they are set up for it. Maybe a little altruism will make me feel better.

Hope the rest of my Oklahoma peeps are doing okay. Between wildfires and tornadoes, it was a wild night here in the Sooner state, though none of it came anywhere near me.

I need a nap.

Donated blood. My iron was a bit low, but I blame that on the giant iced tea I had with my lunch (apparently drinking caffeine with your meal blocks the absorption of iron from that meal. I did not know that before today!) Got an American Red Cross baseball hat that looks mighty cute on me, if I do say so myself. Very all American girl. Even with the giant pimple that is sprouting by my lip. Blargh.

When I checked the mail, there was a book in it! Cool, says I, except, and here's the strange part, I have no idea where this book came from. I mean, I don't know if I ordered it and simply don't remember doing so or if someone sent it to me. It looks pretty awesome. Steampunk. Blurb from Jacquline Carey on the front cover. Definitely something I would order for myself, except I have no idea if I did, or if someone generously ordered it for me. So, if you sent me The Convent of the Pure by Sara M. Harvey, then thanks!

Getting older isn't for weenies. I know that much is true.
