I’m getting ready for the UCLA game and I pick up my camera bag and hear jingles. No really, nothing should be jingling in there. So I take off my lens cap to find this.
First I was relieved, it’s just the filter. So I go to the camera store and shell out $70 for a new filter only to find that the filter glass has seeped into the lens and now I have to take it to Nikon to have the entire thing dismantled and it’s going to cost a few hundred bucks and baseball is about to start and it better be back by then other wise I will seriously lose it.
This comes only two days after I spent puking my guts out from that goddamn vegan food poison and six days after my two year relationship ended suddenly and unexpectedly.
So now I’m down a boyfriend, a lens, and a whole lot of stomach acid. Haven’t been able to get to the gym because I don’t have the strength to do much of anything, so mostly I’ve been sitting around being an utter and complete bitch to everyone who crosses my path. I was on the warpath last night at work. There were bodies strewn around behind me as I bitched at people, and it isn’t slowing down.
I am hoping this will spark my creative side as I have been extremely uninspired lately. Otherwise it’s just going to lead to a lot of self-pity shopping. I should set up a PayPal account.

Oh sweetie. I’m so sorry. If I lived near you I’d bring you a home-cooked meal and an extravagant dessert.
You can console yourself that you have a lot of readers that care about you.

Soooo sorry!! But I’m a strong believer in “things leave so better things can come along” – so hurray for whatever lies ahead!!

Sorry to hear about the lens. I take it you did not have a camera at the UCLA game. If you want some photos of the game, please e-mail me and I will send you my shots.

[...] Besides all of the other shit that’s been going on, now I hurt my knee which is bothering me when I walk or sit or lie down. And we’re doing Angie on Saturday and I had a goal of breaking 18 minutes and now it hurts to squat. Fuck. [...]

Your blog makes it clear that you are an utterly disgusting piece of shit and you deserve much, much worse than this.

there’s no doubt in what you’re describing K, and it’s all self referential
