The sky today

Today it rained. The sky was a milky-ash colour that melted into the land with a thick fog; along with the summer foliage, it was my favorite type of day. It was the kind that normally caused a tranquilité lethargy, but today was different. From the moment I woke up late for my doctors appointment until now I found it most infuriating.

My appointment: I was late, but was still seen in a timely manner. It was for an ultrasound of my gallbladder and various other organs. The nurse was rather vigorous and regardless of my copiousness amount of padding (aka fat), it was most painful. When it was over she told me nothing of the images she took. Instead she told me to 'use the towels to clean up' (the gel) and 'we were done' as she walked out the door. Some how she made me feel like a cheap whore. Left alone, confused, in a dark room trying to clean off the mess she left on me--I felt dirty.

Afterwards, I went to, what I assumed, was a job interview. Alas it was nothing more than a "fill this out" mission to exit 90. (mystic) Again, my muse of a day was spoiled on a waste of time.

When I return home, at last, I decided to check up on how my book order was doing. Allow me to indulge you with the story of this catastrophe. On the 15th of May a book (Mushishi) was due out. It did not arrive at the store because they are parsimonious! So I ordered it. It should've taken 7-10 days to arrive; I've experience 5-7 myself, mostly. So I waited... and waited. While waiting (because I already paid for it) I happen to spot said book at Anime Boston. Oh the lust I felt for that book. The burning desire to procure myself a copy right then and there... But I did not. I do not need two books, although I wouldn't have minded. Never the less, I ended up waiting until almost 2 weeks past before I called up to find out where my beloved book was. Low and behold, it was canceled, and I was not informed. If I was aware I would've had it by now... if I knew...if only... To rectify this inconvenience, the woman on the phone said she would put the order in and I'd have it in 2-3 days (Friday at the latest she said). So, what do you think went through my mind when it wasn't in today's mail? Unyielding vehement hostility. I can't not even describe the animosity I felt towards Borders when I called them back to find out my (re)order didn't go through! Most regrettably I missed my chance at this book when I was at Anime Boston. The stores in the area do not have it, and all I could do was reorder it... again. I will tell you this, if I do not receive my book by next week... there will be hell to pay. This I promise!

Needless to say, my day was ruined and the only hope of salvation was to continue to work on my picture from yesterday. I made the declaration in the living room I was going to seize the kitchen table to draw! A quick mutter of "Tyler is coming over in a few minutes" quickly dashed all hope I had. For you see, Tyler is a destructive and annoying force of nature, also known as my little cousin. He likes to ask me questions, run around me (making it hard to draw a straight line), and even slapping my tablet/computer/headphones to get my attention. Do you know how hard it is to draw a picture while a 5 year old is poking your eye saying, 'I touched you!' Very!



The day is just about over, my lovely sky that turned apocalyptic was wasted. My final straw for the day was a stroll through Wal*Mart and the distant screaming of a spoiled-snot-nose-little-shits! I swear, one day, I shall go to a store or mall with a shot-gun, and every child that screams for no real reason, will get a buckshot in the face. The shear imagery of this makes me content for the moment. :D



On a note: Kit (because your the only one who reads this I think) I have your gift, when do you want it? It sits atop my TV taunting my room, which wants to swallow it up and shit it out in a few months (or years).
