1) MONEY. How I loathe you. I transferred money from one account to another (online, same bank) in order to write myself a cheque to an account I can access in Europe, except the transfer never happened so the cheque bounced and I (we, it was a joint account) got an NSF charge. At first I thought it had been my fault - i.e. that I hadn't made the transfer - but then when I tried to make the transfer again, it SEEMED to work, only to disappear from all existence half an hour later. WTF? So now I have to call bank 1 to complain and ask WTF, and then go to bank 2 with a cheque of Real Money (tm). Fuck.

2) CELLPHONES. My cellphone's service isn't working! I get "emergency only", which B says happens sometimes, but I am all nervous after the above money issues. I checked, and they did indeed take the usual payment off my credit card on the 20th, so they can't have disconnected me or anything. But when I was panicking about the above, it was really annoying - I ended up downloading and paying for Skype. God Bless the internet.

3) AMERICAN IDOL. VOTE FOR ADAM YOU AMERICANS BECAUSE I CAN'T. Fuck. I watched it with my sister and mum, who don't normally watch it, and they must think I'm insane now for all the freaking out I did. I think he wasn't actually 2nd lowest, but 3rd, since Ryan never actually said "this is your bottom 2", but I digress.

The idolatry interviews with Anoop are awesome, btw. I never clicked with his music (and he wants to do comtemp R&B, so that makes sense) but he's intelligent, articulate, and really funny and straight-forward. Well-worth watching! And Adam's studio recording of "Feeling Good" is un-fucking-believable, especially the parts that weren't in the live performance at all. He basically sings as a countertenor for a few moments there, for crying out loud.

4) BOYFRIEND. Is being pissy because he is sick and keeping a totally ridiculous schedule because he absolutely MUST turkey hunt every day. I think this is as ridiculous as it sounds, even though hunting and fishing normally puts him in a good mood. Anyway, he is being super-tetchy, though he hasn't quite blown his top at me yet. I'm hoping I can avoid that and skive off to Europe, because dude. I am not responsible for your fucked-up-sleeping-schedule. Of course, if he keeps this crazy schedule wherein we do not cross paths very often, this won't be very hard.
