Now that the weather's warming up, it's time once again for...Maus Noir!

...I'm sitting on the floor of my apartment, sitting and typing on my computer and listening to the sweet, smokey sax drifting through the windows...Funny how saxophone players just seem to pop up when there's a noir-ish need for background music. Do saxophone players get a break on their rents in this neighborhood?
And if I carried a sax to my landlord would I get extra dry-cleaning?...
My coffee is black and sweet, Russian-Granny style. Pretty soon I can buy it from the new Stun Brothers shop opening in my building. They're kind of strange people, these franchise guys...always looking at blueprints and wearing long dark cloaks. They're always wearing sunglasses, too, which is particularly alarming at 8 am when you're leaving for work. Maybe they have some secret java-smuggling operation going on... If that's the case they'd better at least have smuggled good coffee.
I get up and stretch, wiggling my toes and thinking about putting on socks so I can get ready to leave and start my day...when there is an unexpected knock on the door--

*Knock knock!*



Alright; I've got the beginning, now I'm inviting you to add to it. It can be a short a sentence, but a good couple of paragraphs would be even more fun. One, two, three.......go!

I wasn't gonna take this quiz....but it's so...gothy!!!

Very Goth You scored 78!

You're a Goth. Whether you admit it freely or not there is no denying it. You love the stuff and can't get enough. You decorate your living space in a way that is part morbid part chaotic.I'm sure your music is mostly Goth/Industrial/Darkwave. Wherever you go you're probably dressed mostly in black.Not only do you know who Switchblade Symphony is, you own every CD and EP they ever put out. Your dream profession is definatly something that benifits goths-Tattoo artist, goth DJ, freelance Gothic artist, Gothy comic creator ect.ect.ect...

Whew!

I got a lot done today...Did the workity-work thing, while racking my brain for every scrap of info I could leave the guy replacing me at the Inferno. I hugged people....a lot of people. (I kinda wish I could take them with me when I leave my post as Mailroom Imp.) I went and did errands after work--groceries, picking up necessary stuff, dropping off rent, signing my new lease. I cooked. I talked to friends. I watered plants. I got a chance to add a bit to the Maus Noir story I started this morning. (Scroll down, willya, and add something. It can be stupid. Real stupid. I think it works best when it's stupid.)

Now...I am migrainey and worn out. I think I'd better add an extra helping of bath goop to the tub. I just hope the Saxophone Squad doesn't try to break in while I'm scrubbing my knees. *puts extra locks on doors.* Annnnnnd stay out! I'm trying to loofah here!!! *shakes loofah threateningly*

Now you must excuse me while I pick out the goop of the night....jasmine bath bomb? lavender harvest bath salts? The last of my Emily the Strange rose and glitter bath goop in a bottle? Hmmm....maybe a little from colum A, B and maybe even C....Awwwwyeah...
