So, I was feeling like it was a little unfair to blame the alcohol for something which I do often do myself (ie, misplace my id) for no other reason than sheer laziness combined with forgetfulness. but usually the forgetfulness lies in picking it up, not in remembering where I put. I forget that I need to pick it up, not where I put it down. Not last night--I remembered taking it off my jeans, but not what I did with it next. While I do forget to put my card in the right place sometimes, even while sober, I haven't before a) put it in the clean laundry basket and b) forget that I'd done so without the help of alcohol.

So yeah, I found it. I tore apart pretty much everything that had been near the bed, went through the comforter cover inside and out, made sure I hadn't left it somewhere under the covers. Midway through checking the jeans in my closet to make sure I had actually taken it off the pockets, I remembered that where my id was, my money was also. Which didn't help me figure out where it was any faster, but did help me be sure that I had actually put it somewhere intentionally.

Which turns out to be not-so-true--I think I put it in my laundry accidentally. I think I was aiming for my purse, but couldn't actually be bothered to put it *in* the bag, so just tossed it *near* the bag, which would have meant it was in the clean laundry (which was on my bed in an attempt to make me fold everything--that doesn't work when i'm sober, why do I think it will work on the drunk days?), and then just got all scooped up into the basket when I got tired of sitting draped around things and cleaned off my bed.

But at least I have it, and thus can go to sleep and wake up in the morning and go to work. talk about a mixed blessing.

There's a new Christopher Guest movie, and Andrea didn't tell me about it! Perhaps I need to get Entertainment Weekly as an xmas present, since I miss too much stuff, depending on her for all my movie news.

I don't read EW and I knew about the movie long before Andrea told me. You're just slacking.

I don't know where you think I would have come across it. We don't get much TV, I don't follow movies the way I follow authors, and I depend on Andrea to tell me about movies, the way I tell her about books she needs to read.
