![i have obtained my very first piece of exercise equipment1. it weighs one pound. so watch the fuck out, or something.
btw, jess picked this out for me, and ordered it along with a bubblegum colored 2lb weight. i asked for the “fuzzy looking” kind [neoprene, apparently] in pink or some other bright color. is she awesome or what?
i feel compelled to note that it was obtained by request of my physical therapist. ↩](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltt5gbhpxY1qz4zfro1_500.jpg)

still working through pacing, need to elongate the first notes of each measure a bit (and obtain a sustain pedal!)

these are my favorite halloweencats so far, and also what i’ve been up to the last couple of days.
related: now there are two repositories on my machine focused solely around cats. what’s up.
so, today, godaddy called me at about 3:30pm to …chat? it was probably the weirdest marketing/sales/support/survey call i’ve ever received. this is a paraphrasing of the exchange.
contextual note
all of the following are true: i don’t like phones; i panic a little when my phone rings; i am usually very uncomfortable when talking on the phone; i am primarily concerned with the conversation-over cue(s) during any given phone call. (prosody is not my strong point)
[pick up phone, miss the intro speech about why this person is calling me as i get to a spot with service. heard the words “godaddy”, “account” and “security”.]
woman: hi, i’m calling you about a couple of things regarding your account and security.
me: ok?
woman: one of the cards attached to your account is expired. can you verify your account for me with your zip code and i will tell you the last four digits?
[this happens, it’s a card, many years old, barely used]
woman: you should remove it from your account so no one who has that information can call and confirm your identity.
me: ok
woman: i can walk you through the steps right now and it will only take a few minutes…
me: no, it’s ok i can definitely figure out how to do that.
woman: ok… how is your hosting?
me: what?
woman: how is your hosting experience with us?
me: it’s ok?
[woman is starting to get annoyed with me. i’m so confused at this point, am i doing it wrong?]
woman: you should purchase a hosting package instead of buying it monthly, it will save you money and [sales dribble]
me: …no. i buy it monthly on purpose because it is temporary.
woman: [irritated] i see you don’t have any auto payments set up either, and your domain xyz is expiring in january.
me: i know, i have it marked on my calendar. i don’t want to set up autopayments.
woman: …okay. well, do you have any other questions while i have your account open?
me: nope
woman: okay, well, call us if you have any issues. have a nice day.
me: k. have a nice day ?

this is a quote from the fucking new york times
read that again: “when they really did dominate the weaker sex”
one more time: “the weaker sex”
apparently, that is me.
perhaps they were implying the idea that women are physically weaker, but that’s a pretty gross generalization even for the times. mentally weaker? how the fuck am i supposed to know, that shit is ambiguous as hell. who fucking approved this story?
i also can’t believe there is already a pity party for the fact that men are being poked fun at in television for being “womanly”. because we all know that men have to be 100% manly and women have to be 100% womanly, at all times, always.
thank you synecdoche for alerting me to this craptastic example of “what the fuck”. you should read her thoughts as well, because they are awesome:
because emasculation comedies are actually offensive to everyone if you keep using “womanly” as an insult. - synecdoche

and by extensive, i mean containing over 1,187 icons, all with weird names.
