I just saw my future.

Now Self, I’m probably going to be anxious about my job today, so I shouldn’t drink a *full* pot of coffee this morning. Okay? Great.

Oops, that’s the usual amount of beans.

Oops, I ground it anyway.

Oops, I boiled a full kettle.

Oops, I poured it in the bodum.

Oops, it’s in my face.

Oops...

A new oil painting has just arrived in what may be the world’s most clandestine art gallery — the fine arts collection at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency.

This commissioned work isn’t your typical still life; the tableau is a busy clutter of gear — photos, blueprints, weapons and ammunition.

CIA museum director Toni Hiley says this painting — the 21st in the collection — is purposely complex. A Contingency for Every Action shows artifacts from major covert actions going back to World War II. “It’s what we call an Easter egg painting,” Hiley says. She calls it an “Easter egg,” because nestled within are little hints from missions that are still classified.

Unless you’re a CIA officer, you’ll probably never get to see the painting in person. Which might make you wonder: Why does the CIA have an art gallery at all?

Had a piece of food in one hand, and an upholstery tack in the other. Inside of one minute, I had popped the tack in my mouth. Is there some kind of lab rat school I could attend, to up my proverbial game?

Is there any other way?!

Me: [Posting to Kijiji] Free 60+ uncollapsed liquor store boxes, plus large bag of liquor store bags for moving and wrapping breakables.

Respondent: Wow. Do you work there or something?

Me: No, I believe I'd be considered a liability.

We are disquiet by nature. Sometimes we don't allow ourselves to ask the BIG questions until we're trying to sleep. Like... can you get a pool table that doubles as a dining room table?

Now that I live alone with my cat, on an average day, the only thing I ever say aloud is “I love you”. Well... that, and the occasional “What the hell are you doing?” On the whole, I’d say that’s pretty good.

You guys, my gif posts no longer seem to be animating on Tumblr. What changed/what am I doing wrong?
