well, this is strange ...

first, curling:

first night out this evening with the women's challenge (5-and-under) team, consisting of darthrami, self, flt, and LA. played pretty well. (up one coming home with the hammer in the eighth, and lost on a frankly very difficult shot; they had been counting two, so the fact that what they got was five was less agonizing.) when we've actually had some time to cohere as a team, we'll be a lot better. plus, we're going to have tons of fun. huzzah!

and now:

was just reading my e-mail and flist before getting to bed. and about five minutes ago, something happened -- i don't even know what. i read something, and i can't remember what it was, but i remember being aware of thinking something between oh, that's a bummer and wow, that sucks, and now all of a sudden i'm vaguely annoyed and upset. not, like, sad/depressed/whatever, but i'm conscious of having been calm and now feeling unhappy. (i'm sure part of this is irritation at the fact that i don't actually know what it is that triggered the mood.)

i'm going to go downstairs and pay the rent before it turns into thursday and it's too late.

That's happened to me. It's an eerie feeling.

Did you ever get your present? I fear the US postal service may have consigned it to Limbo.

i did! and i've kept meaning to say so, but i didn't want to just say so without saying something about how wicked cool it was, and every time i've intended to get going on the wicked coolness, i've been called away and/or distracted by other things. with the net result that i am a Bad Friend; i should at least have let you know it got here, and then said something publicly about things that are wicked cool when i had the time.

mea ultima culpa.

it's on my refrigerator. and wicked cool. and my parents (who don't know of you specifically, of course) and darthrami and cmshaw agree that it's the pinnacle of niftiness.

(but darthrami, this might tip the patch-decision scales decisively in the direction of "slacker", don't you think?)

*snicker*

I think you're still just looking for a reason to make the "slackass" patch. ;-)

Yay! I was afraid it had gotten lost. (And, hey, stop self-flagellating. It makes me nervous *g*.)

Is it not the niftiest thing ever? I got one for myself, too. Now I just need to make a magnetic Scrabble board and get a game going...

That happens to me all the time, but I always just put it off to my moodiness. Something, I don't usually know what, just puts me on edge and it's frustrating because if you could put your finger on it you could either dismiss it (I can't do anything about it, it won't do any good to worry) or do something about it.
