one more miracle

TODAY I:
-Forgot my lunch at home. This meant both that I missed out on an awesome lunch, but also that my fresh mozzarella was sitting out in my room all day. SIGH.
-Spilled half a bottle of yeast growth media. I needed that!
-FLUSHED MY PHONE DOWN THE TOILET.

....Let me repeat that. I FLUSHED MY PHONE DOWN THE TOILET.

Ahahahahahahasob.

I am truly a giant among women. \o/ It was in my jacket pocket, I was hurriedly going to the bathroom because I was late to a talk, and as I leaned over to flush... I had already pressed the handle so my phone went WOOSH and all I saw was a red blur. I stared at the toilet in shock for a moment, and then started laughing. "I can't believe that just fucking happened!" pretty much sums it up.

In conclusion: I win today.

I already submitted a claim and will have a replacement tomorrow for a $50 deductible, so it's okay, and I've already started getting my contacts back. But I am just such a rockstar.

Would someone be willing to do me a favor and upload Muse's new album The Resistance? I need to decide if I want to drop $50 to see them play! What do you think? I really like their earlier stuff (not LOVE love, but I've listened to it a bunch) and I've heard they're amazing live. Have any of you seen them? Thoughts?

Probably as a consequence of the massive fire alarm debacle of FAIL yesterday, the security alarm in the hall outside our apartment has been going off since yesterday afternoon, a constant high pitched beeping noise. It's obnoxious as fuck, and we called the landlords about it twice. (For the record, it's still going - that's almost 24 hours. FUCKHEADS.) Last night, we couldn't hear it anymore and we thought it had stopped. Then Rob went to leave the building, and he comes back in laughing his head off. He pulls me out in the hallway and I see:



GENIUS.

In another form of genius, AARON SORKIN WROTE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JED BARTLET AND OBAMA FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES. This pretty much made my life. As did waking up to FiveThirtyEight.com showing Obama winning in 73.9% of statistical projections for November!

You guys, this might actually work out! :O
