Oh, just shoot me now.
Continuing what is obviously my best day ever, I have now managed to scratch the hell out of the bumper of my brand new car by scraping a low wall pulling out of a parking lot. It's not dented, thankfully, but I truly couldn't feel any worse right now. Most of the people who know me and read this blog know this already, but for anybody else who has stumbled in here, the current running tally of things that have gone wrong in the past two weeks in the Joopiter & Simon house:
1) Dead iPod (Simon)
2) Drowned computer now with fried motherboard (Simon)
3) Brand new glasses, worn for only a day, messed up by inattentive LensCrafter worker (Simon)
4) Scraped bumper of two month old car (Joopiter)
5) Invasion by Rodent Army (Simon & Joopiter)
6) Rodent Army builds outpost in bedroom (Joopiter)
As you can see, Simon is way ahead of me in the bad luck race. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to back up my hard drive and pray my television doesn't explode. Then I'm going to curl up and cry for a while, because I'm tired and I feel stupid and I don't have the money to fix my car but I'm going to anyway because I won't drive around with the blue & white badge of my own stupidity on my bumper and yes I'm fully aware of the situation on the Gulf Coast. Doesn't make my day any less sucky or make me feel any better.
I'd go to bed now, but, you know, mice and all.

I am sooooo sorry for you about Sassi Tres! That sucks beyond words.
If it makes you feel any better, I give you the official okay to go hunt down one of the dirtbags we work with -- d or p or even the mighty mm -- and beat them to death with a claw hammer. Anything just to see you smile!
(You can also go back to where we had lunch yesterday and order the same dessert -- that made you happy, too!)
Hang in there!
I've gotta say, I'm quite surprised at my reaction to all of this. I've been surprisingly calm, and it's kind of scaring me. I make $16K a year and I just found out I'm going to have to spend about $1,400 due entirely to my own stupidity, and I'm not even crying. I thought I'd be way more upset than this, I think I've reached such a new low depth in my quality of life that the sucky things don't phase me anymore. That's bad, isn't it?
Oh noooo! I'm so sorry! The rodent invasion, I'm ready for (2 hungry cats).
But the dead IPod? I would be on the first plane home.
Evil, and spiders, are cyclical. It has to get better...
