At Denny's last night, Trisa drew this too flattering picture of me on the back of her placemat:



Later in the evening, I rattled on to her about Jeremy Brett for no apparent reason, and we watched The Smiths, Live in Germany circa 1984. Morrissey rules.

I also made good way with my novel, coming up at last with the beginnings of solid outline for part 8, which I'm suspecting shall be long and complicated. It was nice to get back at it, I felt like I was finding a part of myself that'd been missing for a while.

Not much time, so I'll leave you with the the lyrics for The Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" which perfectly describes my feelings about working at TJ Maxx:

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"
lyrics by Morrissey

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?
