Oprah, Jeffrey Osborne and Obama's portuguese water dog

missing

Oprah.  kind of.  not often but every once in a while.  i miss shows about people with insurmountably unsolvable, shockingly awful, gaspworthy problems and she was the queen at finding people like that :(  i miss that self-assured, warm-ish feeling of watching really truly hopeless cases every day at 3pm while i contemplated simple things like what to make for dinner and whether i should paint my nails blue or green

dying

a slow painful death from toothache.  i had my "small filling" today to address the Martha's Vineyard incident - and omg it bloody hurt like the dickens.  or i'm a huuuuuge chicken with a very low pain threshold....?  but either way: i am never ever ever having another filling :|  like E-V-E-R :|

still waiting

for that Morrissey book to come. it's never going to show up, i just know it - i should just fly home and get it myself, it would be quicker (but admittedly more expensive than $14......) and i bet the day it arrives, it will become available here.  and that's the defintion of irony, Alanis (i think....? or maybe it's just maddening)

hating

live versions of songs.  i only have one word: WHY?????????  i hate drunken cheering and missed notes and entirely forgotten lines and applause.  more than life itself :|

listening

to Universal Mother by Sinead.  i really wish she would just block out the awful trainwreckness that is Miley Cyrus  - because if you wrestle with a pig, you'll both get dirty but the pig will like it ;)

dreading

reaching episode 13 of "Orange is the New Black".  because: what are we going to watch then????! it's the kind of fascinating, witty, addictive viewing i haven't seen in forever...

yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!  please just consider making Fall year round Trader Joe....... at least here!

 i always wondered if it was THE Jeffrey Osborne - it is!  i love Providence :)

also: i loooooooove going for Indian food in Providence

though i bit my cheek 7000 times during lunch, thanks to the dumb filling :(

 the dentist was SO AWFUL i had to get a shellac manicure 

(which was very hard to casually work into a selfie :)

 the sky was crazy tonight - Danny said someone important must have died :|

 this is our neighbor's dog: the very same dog Obama has

so we live next door to the Obama's dog's possible second cousin (and that's cool!)
