” . . . then I’m going to lose face. That’s a very serious thing in my culture.” -Phoebe on Friends

Michael is working late tonight. So, I came home, ate some taquitos and watched this week’s 90210. The show is pretty bad. Not really bad in a good way, either (ala The Hills). I have to watch these shows when Michael isn’t home because he does NOT like them. Even as background noise. That’s saying a lot about the man who has had The Gray sneeze in his face. Multiple times. Since he’s going to be gone this weekend, you can expect that’s it going to be all bad TV all the time. Adding insult to injury, since I will be alone with no human contact, you can expect that by Saturday night I will be conversing with the people on the TV. Aloud.

So, what’s the vote on posting a link on Twitter about your new posts? Is it [annoying] shameless self-promotion or helpful info? I’ve tried it out on my last few posts. Unfortunately, it hasn’t driven any new visitors my way. When I say unfortunately, I mean for all those who didn’t click on the link. Can you imagine how empty their life is without my endless whining?

Today we had an Audit at work. I was super stressed about it, which is weird because I am ALL ABOUT compliance. Seriously. I love it. Most Advisorsons hate it, but I just like the rules. Maybe I should stay in the industry and become a Compliance Officer. I could also take a chainsaw and hack off my foot. Either way. In any case, we passed so I can get some damn sleep tonight.

Michael and I stopped in the Verizon store the other day and I am now, officially, obsessed with getting a new phone. What’s that? Oh, you say, I just got a new phone a few months ago? Yeah, that’s true. Since when has a little detail like that ever stopped me? Since I can’t get an iPhone, I need something similar. Currently, I am considering the Blackberry Storm or the Samsung Omnia. When I say considering, I mean mentioning to Michael over and over again until he finally breaks. And the real reason I want one of these phones? I want to have a Twitter app so I can feed my favorite time suck. So far, I have resisted Tweet Deck, but I don’t know how much longer I can last. And I really need to keep my job if I plan to buy a new phone. Classic catch-22.

News from Gray Cat World: The Gray is officially turning into Jake. She has trouble jumping AND she now puts her head under the running water from their drink well. This is one of Jake’s most annoying habits and I am not happy to find The Gray’s head wet whenever I go to pet it. Just another example of the disaster, disease and famine Jake has brought upon our household. As I told Dawn the other night, we should have known when the man practically threw him at us in the parking lot and ran away. I was blinded by need to collect cats with Gray fur. Just call me Cruella.

After this weekend, you’ll likely find me dead covered in Gray. The Hills, playing in the background.
