Grumpy
Posted on | December 4, 2009 | 3 Comments
Today has been a grumpy day. For reasons I won’t go into, and that were no one person’s fault, a train of annoying events was set in motion as the cosmos continued its spiteful vendetta against me.
I spent most of the afternoon grumping around the house, scowling and moaning to myself. I secreted myself away from familial company (for their own good) and mainly browsed around the internet, complaining under my breath at much of what I read there.
As afternoon turned to evening, guilt got the better of me and I thought I’d try to do some work. I began scripting a sit-com that I’ve been playing-with and plotting for a while now. My bad mood hampered things though and, at best, I now have four pages of a sit-grump.
On the plus side, an inadvertent typo gave rise to my coining a new word:
Sarcastoic
noun, a person who can endure hardship with little complaint but with considerable grumpy sneering.
adjective: having or showing sarcastoic qualities.
That’s it. That’s the best thing that’s happened me today.
Stupid cosmos.

I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and deride my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.

Sorry to hear you’ve been a victim of the Tibetan world conspiracy, too. I find making pizza usually helps. From scratch, it’s making the dough that does the trick for me.
Surely Babaloo meant EATING pizza. Get your verbs right!
Babaloo: Thank you for your advice. I will attempt some violent kneading when next I feel so narky.
Ellie: I admit, the lazy git in me prefers this option. Takeaway pizza certainly requires less effort – especially when my wife collects it (which makes her car smell like anchovies – she hates that. It’s really the only reason I order them).
