things that would make my life better

Less:

terrible Mexican disco blasting from the alleyway
flying beetles in my bedroom (there's only one, but one is enough)
mystery cat yowling outside ALL NIGHT
stress from sources of employment
battles with stealth gluten
car alarms

work

Working on The Brave One tomorrow as a waitress in a diner. The diner is casual so they told me slacks and a t-shirt. I wonder if I even have any appropriate t-shirts (no logos or wacked out content) -- offhand there's Snakes on a Plane (no), Republicans for Voldemort (no), Bi, Poly, Genderqueer, Nerd (NO!), and my Australia tshirt that's such a jarring color combination it could make your eyes bleed.
