Now get over it.
The horror!, originally uploaded by 160507.
Alright! I believe you! You had a horrible day! Everyone who posted their tale of misery and woe before Saturday, August 4, 10pm Manila time gets a book. To claim your free (um, not exactly—you bought it with your aggravation) book, email zeus.books@gmail.com. Give your real name if you want to have the book signed. By the way I don’t know what book you’re going to get—could be a novel, a treatise on Phoenician textile dyes, or an old calculus textbook, it’ll be a surprise! Because life is chaotic and full of seemingly random events, and if you hit rock bottom hard enough, you bounce.
P.S. Triangle 30, since you’ve brought cheer to so many, I’m going to throw in a DVD of The Departed in the hope that someday you will be able to watch it without reliving your trauma.

i guess triangle30 should really be the runaway winner; i cried laughing of the bad day s/he shared – reading about it actually brought cheer to my otherwise hum-hum Monday. i think that though the universe may at all times exhibit unfairness, it actually strives for balance.
