Whiny Tuesday

Today I was followed by a car with very small headlights. This, for some reason, really annoyed me. Especially since this car of small headlights seems to live two houses down from me and kept following me with its small headlights. They looked like two tiny little suns that were as bright as two small headlights. (I'm still going through the phase of comparing things to themselves when I make analogies. I find it really funny.)

What is not funny are small headlights. And having to wear nylons while drinking decaf coffee. And having people put salt on your margarita when you specifically said "no salt" while you still can't solve a SUPER-DUPER-EXTRA-EASY crossword you've been working on all day. I think this pretty much sums up my week. Seriously, what is a four letter word (ending in R) for "bakery worker?" I finally got the three-letter word for acquire (GET) and 19 across was CELLO (for musical instrument) and that made me feel pretty smart.

It's too bad the title of my crossword book is in bright flashy colors and all caps (superduperextraeasy!) because I take an ego hit each time I pull it out. Since there is vanity sizing in clothes, they really should do vanity titles for crossword puzzles, like "EXTRA SUPER HARD YOU GENIUS YOU! CROSSWORDS" or "YOU TOTALLY NAP DURING THE SUNDAY CROSSWORDS BECAUSE YOU ROCK EVER SO HARD CROSSWORDS!" and onward. AHA! 38 across is KOALA (Australian "bear"). The little quotes in the clue don't make me feel smart. In fact, they annoy me as much a tiny little headlights do. Grr dammit.

An Erinku (or two, since I've slacked):
photocopy
of picture
creepy guy
on paper

------------
distant coughing
makes me
feel thirsty..

O, beer!
-------
A third Erinku because that second one was me quoting myself and my O Poems:

sock
against carpet
as cat is
to fridge
--------
A fourth Erinku because the previous one was another self-refence to when I wrote analogy/test poems:

Dylan with
repeatedly dropped mouse
waiting for me to
play fetch.

OK Bye.
