I mean, I&#8217;ve worn the same pair of grey sweatpants for four days straight now and I think that our sofa is starting to develop a Hope-sized indentation from me lying on it for 10 hours a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yes, like Homer Simpson, I now have my own <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bart_Carny\">ass groove<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also? Kristian bought chocolate truffles. And they&#8217;re fifty calories <em>each<\/em>. And there is nobody here to make me stop eating them. Except for me, myself and I. And we all know how much willpower I have when it comes to chocolate truffles (answer: none). Truffles + lying on the couch every day = OMG I think my ass groove is getting bigger.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest foray out into the real world was to walk to the end of our block wearing the aforementioned sweatpants and a pair of Kristian&#8217;s clogs in order to mail off a check with all of our monies to the City of Malden. Damn them and their making us pay taxes. I liked it much better when they forgot to send us a tax bill and we, in turn, forgot that they should probably have sent us a tax bill. This whole &#8220;two quarters worth of taxes on one VERY BIG BILL thing&#8221; is so not my bag. On a positive note, our water bill somehow manages to be negative every month, something that I don&#8217;t plan on complaining about anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>I should be enjoying some quality time spent watching TV, but I finally decided to let myself watch Firefly and so it&#8217;s really pleasure missed with a whole bunch of pain. Because, holy crap, this show is good and so I enjoy watching it but, also? There are only fourteen episodes! And I&#8217;ve already seen seven! That&#8217;s half!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(I know math)<\/p>\n<p>Every episode I watch brings me that much closer to there being <em>no more episodes<\/em>. Which makes me sad. Which requires more truffles. Which just contributes more to my ass groove.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a vicious cycle, people, and I can&#8217;t break it.<\/p>\n<p>Please, someone, send Zicam.<\/p>\n<p>Or some horse tranquilizers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is now four days since I&#8217;ve been basically couch bound and I&#8217;m starting to develop a small case of cabin fever.
