goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Honey, I’m hoooooooome.

In which I travel for twelve hours and end up right back where I started from a week ago.

I got up at seven this morning (that’s FOUR in the fucking MORNING Pacific time, my babies, but WHO’S COUNTING?) and met my car in front of Jake’s condo at 7:20. Arrived at La Guardia twenty minutes later, checked in at American Airlines and then shambled through security.

Flew to Chicago. Ate a burrito.

Flew to Seattle. Ate a cheeseburger with no burger and extra cheese. (I didn’t order the extra cheez, they just made it that way.)

Flew to Walla Walla. Ate a slice of apple pie.

Kissed my dog. Reset the time zone on my netbook and iPod Touch and realized it was five, not eight. Uploaded and titled and tagged much of the Bodacious New York Vacation Set.

Am truly dead tired, and not entirely sure that I’m glad to be home. Had so much fun in the city, even when it was pretending to be Portland and rained all over me, that leaving was a letdown the comforts of home have failed to assuage. *insert non-age appropriate emo sigh*

In other news, I regret to inform you that I have to re-relaunch Operation: Quit Smoking. Again. (Further experience indicates that perhaps the nicotine-replacement faction is right.)

    You and Vubox flaked out! Booooooo! And you can’t use the whole “we’re old and tired” schtick that Stephen tried to pull on me via text. Mr. David came out to party wiff me and so did Jere! Shamerz on you two!

    Oh, you adorable child! Hear me now: I AM OLD BUT I COULD TOTES DRINK YOUR ARSE UNDER THE TABLE. ANY TABLE. When I saw Jere’s pix? And knew I’d missed out? I WAZ SO SAD. David came out too? Now I’m sadder. I had to catch an early flight this morning! (And I hadn’t the vaguest idea how to get back to my luggage without guides.) Next time you bettah be less evasive, twinkle toez! I’m so very teh bummed that I missed meeting you. Srsly. And now I know you hate me, which is all like OUCH and OWIE, because if you didn’t HATE ME you’d have been available earlier, like, before Vuboq got old and tired! WAAAH! -m

    so…when are you moving to new york?

    and yes, nicotine replacement can help with the quit smoking thing reall goodz. it gets one over those bumps and tempting times way better than a carrot stick or celery stalk every could.

    Next year maybe. Still have to finish getting out of debt. Gonna find out about replacement, yeah. -m
