Somewhere Along The Way…

Now that I have regained my emotional self-control somewhat, um…
So I have to laugh, despite the ongoing retardedness at my work - in which I still do not know where I am even going to be sitting next week due to the fact that people on both the 10th and 11th floors want me all […]

I just heard this song for the first time on the radio and I want so badly to post the lyrics here. But for some reason I feel like I should save it for when it really matters.
I feel strangely reassured that I still possess the ability to burst into tears at the sound of […]

It’s funny the way all sorts of little disconnected things start to run together in your head like some thread some continuation of the same train of thought, all related to one another. And then suddenly everything seems to make sense, and then you’re hit by the crushing freight train nature of reality and you […]

…Prevent me from howling in utterly hysterical laughter and/or bitch-slapping my coworker to death the next time she makes a comment similar to the gem she just busted out with:
“It’s like a…it’s like…it’s like a CATCH-24!”
Methinks that open mockery or physical violence of a direct supervisor may get me fired - which, although I wouldn’t […]

In contrast with the rather manic-depressive tone of my last couple of posts (something I attribute to lack of sleep + residual hangover + over-indulgence in moody introspection while sitting in the Strand earlier) I must now give a nod to the happier aspects of my life at the moment, i.e. my lovely Saturday night, […]

Does it reflect poorly upon me that, while the majority of my time was spent pursuing extremely enjoyable and fulfilling activites - despite the fact that I was too sleepy this morning to recount the glorious happenings of last night (which I will definitely have the energy for tomorrow, I promise) - my sole […]

To the loud female cat in heat who lives outside my window:
Look dude, I know it’s the mating season and all and I’m really sorry you can’t find any boy cats to do it with, but do you have to sit underneath my fire escape every freaking night and complain about it? I mean, for […]

I managed to break my eight-month-long hiatus from Bikram yoga last night - apparently it takes eight months to entirely replenish the electrolyte reserves that are lost when one engages in thirty consecutive days of constant perspiration (okay, not really, I just got sick of the smell of the room) - which I could not […]

Bah.
I should have known, having dealt with the United States immigration services in my previous job for over a year, that this whole Irish citizenship thing would be as convoluted and as time-consuming a process as its American counterpart. And I must have been crazy to have read their application guidelines and interpreted, from their […]
