When I got back to my lonely little garret last night (it was only 4:40, but already dark--FREAKIN' NORTHERN HEMISPHERE!), I found a letter from CapitalOne, a letter from Discover®, and a phone message from Providian. CapitalOne was telling me they had closed my account--good riddance, fuckers! Discover® just gave me fifteen times the credit limit I had with you! Providian's anti-fraud department had called to "verify recent charges to your account". I thought, I wonder if this has anything to with my shopping binge two days ago. Sure enough! I asked the operator if it was the amount of the purchases that had tripped their suspicions, the fact that they were out-of-state, or both and she couldn't tell me. I suppose I'll find out if I ever LOSE ALL SENSE OF RESTRAINT some weekend in Chicago.

I had turned off ceiling fan while I was away and ended up staring at the ungodly amount of lint that had collected on it all through my evening phone calls until I could grab a towel and a trashbag and clean it off. At least it was true lint and not that slimy stuff that cannot be named that I know is lurking around for me to stumble upon in a barefoot moment. Upshot of the calls was that I confirmed my sister's Good News and made plans to see Monshu. He turned down ottr4bear's offer to meet us at Buddies tonight so that, hopefully, I can rest up and get over this sore throat in time to sip coffee at Meinl tomorrow and check out Bear Night next weekend. Are you coming this time,
