Embarrassment 101

Argh. I went downtown to finally pick out new eyeglasses - I had frames in mind already. I was going to spring for glasses with sunglass clip-ons, but they no longer carry that frame, so I had to go with second runner up.

Then I stopped at BB&B and picked up some fall-scented candles...and a keychain shaped like a pig. It's a flashlight! It's snout lights up when you press a button, and it oinks! I couldn't resist. I told the cashier I'd just put it in my pocket instead of shoving it in the ginormous bag she put the candles in. She asked why I didn't just put it on my keychain.

And that's when I realized I left the apartment without any keys.

Tenants are often embarrassed about locking themselves out of their apartments. Not to lessen their anguish, but it is at least twice as embarrassing to do that when you're one of the managers.

I got home and to the front door just as a visitor was calling up to their host, who, instead of just buzzing her in said he'd be down. So I waited instead of calling my boss to beg him to let me in. And waited. And waited. The dude took forever, and so I had to have awkward conversation with the woman for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, my bladder was killing me. Yadda, yadda. So, I got in at long last and dashed for my super secret hiding place where I keep my spare key (hey, this isn't the first time I've been locked out).

And that's when my hottie neighbor and his hottie brother totally caught me getting my spare key out. And teased me mercilessly.

The end.

SPN Meta

No, I'm not going to do meta. I think I need to avoid meta. While some of it is very wonderful and I'm impressed by the brainpower it takes to pull it all together, I'm finding some of it downright depressing...and it also makes me think people are overthinking things. When I read overthought metas, my own enjoyment tends to be lessened. Does Supernatural have flaws? You betcha. Huge ones.

But at the end of the day, for me, it's a show about two brothers trying to find their way in a big, particularly scary world, with lots of angst and h/c. And that's all I need at the moment.
