i read the book for the reading group in less than two days. it was actually quite good. it�s called the curious incident of the dog in the night-time and it went pretty quickly. not fight club quickly, but still. while i was reading it i called out to bateman that perhaps they are not being cute on brainiac when they say they can do maths, in fact, i think that in the UK they actually do say �maths� meaning many types of math, and not the way we say �internets� meaning, aren�t we cute, we use baby talk and we�re old people. bateman tells me �shhh! you�re supposed to be reading.� i tell him i am reading, and that is what i�m thinking while i�m reading. he says that is insane, and that he can only do one thing at a time, either think or read. i don�t know what to make of that. how does he process things?

my mom bought be an orchid for my birthday. she�d gotten me my �real� present, a swanky coach laptop bag with almost no leather on it, many months ago. my mother actually adheres to that idea. what a foul notion. the orchid, however, is really amazing. there are many sprays of purple spotted flowers that look like little fairies. i hope it�s getting the right amount of light. i washed the leaves today to give it a hand and i�ll just have to keep an eye on them. apparently, i�m shooting for a light green. too dark means too little light, and too light is not enough. there aren�t very many perfect windows in this house for such a thing and if it doesn�t take to the bay window, i�ll have to move some toys around in the kitchen. i fear the cat taking notice of the plant if i move it too much and my best plant window will be too stuffed come winter.

i would very much like a haircut. i got a coupon from my hairdresser for $5 off, which, all things considered, isn�t much except motivation to make an appointment. still, i�d like one. i just don�t know what to do. maybe i�ll get my sister�s advice. the problem is that when i cut it shorter, it gets all curley and who wants that?

i�m watching my niece on friday and i�m not sure what i�ll do with her. the weather should be nice. maybe we can do planting things. i really would like to do something like that and i certainly can�t get any work done while she�s here. hopefully she�ll be sleepy and then we can take a good long nap in the middle of the day. i have a secret nap weapon here. i have found her nap weakness. apparently, she cannot resist a nap with domo kun. he is the ultimate nap buddy. really though, that�s not odd. who doesn�t want to nap with a japanese monster?

i got bateman to go to the shenanigans store with me today. he�s just cowed in there. that is our most fundamental difference as people. our approach to sex and it�s function in the universe is so completely opposite one another. luckily, our approach to sex once we�re in our own house is right on track, so that works well. we spent almost $70 on only two things. why are sex things so expensive? it�s terrible when you spend that cash and then think, crap, that wasn�t really all that, i�m never using this toy again. luckily that wasn�t the case this time and i was really happy with what we got.

i am so lazy. i so need to do a store update. i have added things, but haven�t done a newsletter. i should do that, i really should. i have new products, how will people know otherwise?

monday will be 2 years since Tuesday died. that is now in the back of my mind on every birthday. �one week from now and it�s ____ years since Tuesday died.� happy birthday thoughts to me, eh? i try to push that thought far away. very very far. this year, with the blood parasite and the swollen brain, i can look back now and see how much closer to death i was than i even thought. i really did almost ruin everything. i almost died and left bateman alone here. fred too. i can�t do that. i can�t. but goddamn, i mean, it happened to her, and that makes it seem so much more possible. i don�t want it to be though, so i�m pushing it away. one year on my birthday, i won�t think about it even once. i hope.
