Gripes 'n' Complaints:

* It's cold and wet.
* Cars spray me as I walk by.
* The book on Welty and Woolf has mysteriously disappeared from the shelf.
* I have too much friggin work.
* I hate hate HATE the blue laws.
* Thanks to said laws, CVS is closed.
* Therefore, I cannot replace the burnt-out bulb in my den.
* I don't have TIME to drive to the grocery store.
* And furthermore, I wanted a diet Vanilla Coke.
* I do not wish to read theory course packs at the present moment.
* In fact, I'd like to lie on the couch, stretch out, and watch TV, preferably while eating.
* And, since this is a fantasy world, I think I'd like a real Coke with whatever I'm eating. Real pizza, maybe.
* Back to reality: my warmest winter coat isn't warm enough.
* Natives of this city appear to find it odd that I'm wearing gloves in November.
* My winter wardrobe is pathetic.
* The designated "weekend" shirt that I'm wearing today doesn't fit, in spite of my best attempts to shrink it in the dryer.
* Plus, it's somehow acquired an odd discoloration pattern on the right side, so I can't remove my coat in public spaces.

That's enough self-pity (can there ever be too much self-pity?). If you need me, I'll be drinking diet Dr. Pepper (not a bad second choice, really), eating a diet mini-pizza, and reading "The Historicity of Things."
