if only i had some salt pork

having terrible weekend. mood in toilet. craving proper boston baked beans, but alas, have all ingredients save salt pork, which seems fairly indispensable. must cultivate different craving, preferably for something involving italian sausage or chicken leg quarters, of which i have relative abundance. otherwise would have to leave apartment; prospect is daunting.

on the up side, i don't have to feel guilty about blowing off the gamer meeting i was meant to attend this afternoon. three other people bagged even before i did.

people continue to disappoint me. film at 11.

but there do exist balms for the soul

such as watching Iceberg's little toes and whiskers twitch as he sleeps, no doubt dreaming of mischief yet unimagined.

today's horoscope

Capricorn

Go ahead -- just sit back and wait for even your wildest dreams to come true. Your ship comes in as the stars do a little cosmic dance, carrying the chickens home to roost. If things haven't turned out as you had hoped, it's only because they're even better. Your seemingly endless supply of good luck invites only more good wishes into your life as you share the joy. Friends and coworkers are eager to celebrate your fortune with you this evening.
