third time's a charm
Today, when I was participating in one of my daily sessions of pondering random crap, I happened to ponder what it would be like to have magical powers. I think this thought came to me because I was watching Sabrina, the Teenage Witch re-runs. She can just point her finger and make shit happen. Why not me? Why don't I have special powers? I wish I had been raised by two spinster aunts who had a talking cat. If I had magical powers, the first thing I would do is zap myself some fucking ice cream because I am starving. Then, I'd probably give myself the power to fly because I really am getting sick of driving around in L.A. traffic. Next, I'd use the magic dough they have and make myself the perfect man. After that, I'd consider zapping away the civil wars and genocides in Africa and then probably think about zapping myself a job ... or just a bunch of money.

I guess there are some consequences of having magical powers, too. I know because I've been watching the show for a while now. For instance, Sabrina turned to stone and shattered when her "true love" left her. Wouldn't that be a huge buzz kill? Especially if you weren't looking for true love, and you might just be walking down the street one day, bump into some random guy and then the next thing you know, you're a statue! I haven't quite pondered whether or not the benefits of magical powers outweigh the costs. I'll have to continue my pondering during my next session tomorrow.

Tonight, I'm on rugrat duty. June's got some stupid thing at school, parent-teacher conferences or something. I don't know. Don't care. I'm thinking about taking Sam to this toy store I saw when I was out the other day. It was right next to this boutique with the most amazing dress in the window. Maybe Sam can lend me some of his allowance because I am straight broke. If I don't get a job soon, I might have to start selling drugs or my body on the street. I don't want to have to resort to that, but man, I really liked that dress.
