Last week was a hard week.
I was totally stressed out at work.
I was audited by the IRS and had the first of my installment payments due and had to figure out what I wouldn’t be paying in order to give the government its due (fingers crossed this gets me the Public Option I want).
I’ve been a bit worried about something coming up in my offline life that’s been keeping me distracted and I found a line on my face. The worst part is that the line on my face is probably caused by the frequent and painful multiple day-long headaches that I have (which are probably migraines).
Also, I found out the the Phelps clan would be in my fair borough to picket outside of synagogues on Yom Kippur because they’re classy-McClassersons who are still protected by Free Speech. And though I am not Jewish and I didn’t spend the day fasting (I did spent the day tidying and meditating on things that I might need to atone for [like calling my sister "stupid" a lot when I was younger]) this kind of… just nastiness by the Westboro klan really floored me.
There were some bright spots.
RHS booked an Off-Broadway gig (which pays) and is now finally able to turn Equity. This makes us a two Equity-card household.
Oprah Winfrey kicked off her 24th Season with interviews with Whitney Houston, and in a double whammy Jay-Z and, the light of my life, Barbra Streisand.
But the brightest spots were found on the interwebs.
I was browsing my favourite blogs and discovered Wordle.net (beautiful world cloud maker) at CKHB’s blog. Here’s the wordle from last week’s entries.
Every silver lining has a word cloud.
I found out where the limited edition Barbra Streisand Barbie doll can be purchased. (Wink, wink. Hint, hint.) And I found videos of the Vanguard performance (that I, sadly, did not win tickets to).
Hello, dolly.
Some smartasses after my own heart found a way to counter the non-housebroken-ness of the Phelps clan.
Amen, dude.
And finally… Oprah gets surprised.
Thank you interwebs.
