1. Murphy’s Law

    Here’s one for the books.  I stop at a pizza place to grab some delicious pizza (very counter-productive for my fake diet, I know), with the intention of stopping home, eating my pizza, watching some TV and then going out to meet a friend for a beer in the neighborhood.  This plan completely goes to shit when I arrive at my front door only to discover that I had left my keys on my kitchen table that morning, and my boyfriend was at that moment on a plane to Denver, having locked up before he left, unaware that I didn’t have my keys.  So I call the building, and the building won’t let me in because my name’s not on our lease.  Then I use my phone to log into my boyfriend’s email account to send an email to the woman we sublet from (she won’t give us a phone number where she can be reached, and I have no idea where she lives, cause that would just be too easy) asking her to call me and let me into the apartment ASAP.  As of now, I still have not heard from her, and my boyfriend is going to have to over-night his keys over to me at my office, in which case I won’t get them until tomorrow.  So I meet up with my friend for a beer anyway, completely a mess and in tears, get drunk (cause what else could I do at that point), and stay at her place for the night.  So now, I am wearing my friend’s dress, a pair of shoes I had at work, and tights that I picked up at Duane Reade this morning (along with deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste, and Advil).  And I am currently sitting at my desk hating my life.

    Now how’s THAT for a fantabulous morning story?!

    How was your night?  Go on, I dare you to top that.

This blog is a series of short thoughts and essays named after my beta fish who sometimes has digestion problems that screw up his equilibrium in the water and cause him to float sideways at the top of his bowl, making me think that he's dead. But that's not what the blurbs are about, the blurbs are funny. Or something.
