Why can't Shirota sell me some cat food?

pezI have a double bed. Why do I still have to fight for the duvet? With my cat??? No, don't answer that. I know. Because my cat is a cat. XD
Lots of sewing last night, did as much as I could with Soldier Blue, now waiting for more material to arrive. I mucked up Faize's top. :( It's not really bad, just the leatherette not lying very flat and there's no way to fix it unless I rip it ALL off. This is what I get for being impatient. The red leatherette is also very difficult to work with, hard to glue and the sewing machine hates it too! Luckily there isn't much left to do that requires the red.
Started the PoT fic. Look! I'm being good and writing what I should be writing! TLR fic might get abandoned. Rush can go blow a harmonica or something. That fic is being silly. I've got all the character conflicts and interactions and motivations, but I don't have the main plot that strings it all together. As in, "there is this great evil event that happens which triggers everything!" - but what the hell is that event? ||||orz
Every day I feel very tired, but when I get home I get into this stupid state where I just do stuff rather than go to bed early. And then I catch a cold and have a headache and I get even more tired the next day.
Whenever I see a shopping website that has a picture of a woman with a headset and the words "live help is available!" I close the tab. Something about that just makes me cringe. Not the idea of live help itself, but that perfect-looking, very-Aryan, obviously stock-photo woman with a headset. It's always a woman, too. It's like pet food TV ads. Has anyone noticed that until recently, there hasn't been pet food ads that show a man feeding a cat? If a guy (or a whole family, or children) shows up, it's dog food. If it's just one woman, it's cat food. I find it all rather repulsive.
Though, this does remind me of Marcus Brigstocke at Live at the Apollo, when he talked about accident insurance ads. People following invisible 45 degrees lines towards the screen. Ace. XD
