Bugger Bugger BUGGER

Dammit all to hell.

I had a great entry done for today, all kinds of pithy commentary about the Super Bowl, how I'm totally confused by some of these new teams nowadays (who told them they could move teams while I was out of the country, huh?), pictures of the amusing plastic snack bowl shaped like a football that I was given at the store, things like that --

And I saved it. And proceeded to write Monday's entry over Sunday's entry (which is normal, since I use the previous day as a template). And then got up to get a CD and check some information about it, forgetting that I hadn't yet saved tomorrow's entry as tomorrow's entry.

So I sat down, typed tomorrow's entry, and hit control-S, neatly saving tomorrow's entry as today's and losing all of the good stuff I'd written today. Shit shit shit.

Okay, let's see if I can recreate: I went into work today since I was out on Friday, and discovered that Richardson turned into a ghost town during the Super Bowl. We're talking deserted -- when I came out of work, I was astounded at the sheer lack of carage on the roads (and we're talking about a state where everybody has a car and uses it at the drop of a hat).

So I figured what the hell, and went home to listen to the game on TV while I cut out pieces for a baby quilt that will be given to my friend Anna's lump. ASIDE TO THE SISTER-IN-LAW: Yes, I'm making one for Lisa, too, but Anna is due before she is. Besides, I found this gorgeous zodiac-patterned fabric at Jo-Ann's, and since Anna is doing the baby's room in a Celtic/Fantasy/Mythological Woodland theme, a star-spattered quilt will be the crowning touch. And considering that I officiated at their wedding (and the type of wedding it was), a New Age baby quilt just seems right for this impending kid.

ASIDE TO THE HUSBAND: Yes, I'm buying fabric. if you can buy antique cameras because you miss me, snuggles, I can go wild in Jo-Ann's. Hey, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

ASIDE TO JULIA: Yes, I'm writing, too. But I need to take a break every so often -- better to do handwork than stare at the tube.

ASIDE TO MYSELF: Um, speaking of writing, shouldn't you be doing some right about now?

Oh, all right. I can be such a slave driver at times.
