I hate weeks like this…

It’s been A Week. Got some long-lost mail returned, sent the first of a sideways-worded “I’d very much like my paycheck, please” emails to a so-called employer, redid the side yard (swapped out rocks for soil and grass), dealt with an ill kitty and a dead coffee grinder, got an order with a bunch of spillage and sulked about that for a bit, locked myself out of the house, whacked the everloving daylights out of my big toe, and had all the regular life joys to deal with. The high point of my week was the new episode of Caprica, and it was a Sam-light episode. (Still a great show, I loved the story developments and am eagerly anticipating next week’s episode…just not a whole lotta Sasha.)

And I just now realized that, on top of everything else, I forgot to post the Glamarazzi links for this week.

Can I just fast forward to Friday?
