Oh man, it has been such a Friday. Everyone's brain is switched off, mine included.

This morning one of our people walked up to the door, tried to push it open, realised it pulled open, and pulled it straight back into their face. And I felt bad that I was laughing on the inside, because he was bleeding on the outside, but not too bad.

That was just the first in a long line of mental and physical pratfalls around here today. I'm almost afraid to leave the office.

BUT I WILL, and you know why? Because I am going to Cirque du Soleil today! Mum bought me a ticket for my birthday after falling in love with their show in Vegas. It's not like I've been telling her for years what a great franchise it is or anything. *facepalm* But the point is, she wanted to share the love, so she bought me a ticket to a matinee performance of Kooza.

And thus I am going to leave here at two, get some lunch, and catch a cab down to the United Center where I will Cirque it up.

Kooza was awesome. There was a unicycle waltz and dancing skeletons! And I got popcorn thrown on my head by a man with balloons down his trousers.

So, all in all, evening = success.

I came home and recharged for a while -- good theatre always makes me tired -- by watching Wheel of Fortune with R. I got up at one point to get a soda from the fridge and noticed something missing.

Sam: Goddamn, I don't know anyone who eats as much salsa as you do.
R: What do you mean?
Sam: There were two mason jars of salsa in here yesterday, and now there's a quarter of one.
R: You don't like salsa, and it was my salsa.
Sam: I know that! My point is that when I move out you're going to revert to eating dip and anything you can find to dip into it.
R: Yeah, I would've finished it off but I ran out of chips.
Sam: *facepalm of despair*
R: I'm thinking of making some noodles and putting it on the noodles.
Sam: NO. Eat the rice that's left in the cupboard if you must, but I forbid noodles and salsa.
R: Will you cook the rice for me?
Sam: If I weren't exhausted I would kick your ass.

Bless his completely incompetent soul.
