hyenahell

this is one of those filler updates that i was talking to Yuriel about earlier this week. the kind where you've become tired at looking at whatever "woe-is-me" type thing you'd posted earlier, yet don't really have anything much brighter to say.

but wait. i do have something brighter to say. someone sent me a lovely gift of Nick Cave and Bukowski this afternoon. (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, ad nauseum) i didn't recognize the "real" name on the billing info, but i think i know who it was. but i don't want to say, "thank you, this person!" if it wasn't that person. so let me know, either way. or i am so coming over to your house.

(upon re-reading the above, most of that sounded really dumb, as if it were typed by a third grader*; but the last part bordered on creepy. man, have i got to get out of my head more often.)

so i am going to the coffee shop to read "Love is a Dog from Hell".

oh. and my phrase of the day is, "I cannot be bothered...". such as:

will update later. presumedly.
much love.
-Hyena.

p.s. - another question for grammarphiles:

*which is correct? and what are the rules for using was/were in sentences of this nature?

as if it were typed by a third grader

or

as if it was typed by a third grader

because i am honestly quite concerned about these things.

p.p.s. - my significant other just broke the one rule i have for cohabitation: that shalt not take thy woman's cigarettes without her knowledge and permission, especially if she is asleep or preoccupied and when she discovers she has no more cigarettes, you are gone and cannot be forced to immediately go to the store to get more. i called him and told him "i hate you forever". because right now. man. i do.
