FINGER MONKEYS! They're so much cuter.

Wedding favors, IJS.

And should so, can I be invited?

Had a bizarro-twilight-zone-alien-invasion dream last night. It didn't end well. Wish I knew where my brain got its material. Because I'd get it new material.

God, if I had an office ...

But I don't. Just as well. I'm startled by the bits of my job that require proactiveness and initiative, because I'm convinced I have neither. However, when I'm interested in what I'm doing, I don't notice these things, and just do them.

I don't like diamonds, but this is cool. Looks like a diamond bracelet, but you push a button, and some of the diamonds change to red and tell the time.

That's really cool.

And, relatedly (sorta), the gay penguins who raised a chick together now have a book about them:

Right, that's going on my Amazon wish list.

How about a casual boyfriend, one who's lots of fun, and always there when you call but not pining when you don't?

They hadn't known how they'd be able to do it, either, according to them, but each and every one of them says that they had learned to use their time better, to re-order their priorities.

I actually found it easier to manage both work and study after I was married. I simply find it easier to drum up the motivation when it feels like I'm not just doing it for myself.

To heck with a boyfriend, I want a wife.

And now I have a new title for my dating profile.

Happy Birthday Hec!!

There should be some exotic, fruity drink that comes with a finger monkey clinging to the straw. Because then you'd be obligated to drink it quickly, lest the finger monkey sucumb to alcoholic poisoning.

Happy birthdays!

I am still not on-line at my new apartment. I may stay that way until I am unpacked, because I am getting so much done.

in other news, I have a job interview today, here at the uni, and I forgot my shoes! I am not sure what to do. I am wearing a black skirt and a pink jacket, with pink sneakers! Or I could wear brown dress sheos which I have here.

I do have a brown shawl, so I could ditch the jacket and wear black with brown shoes and a brown shawl, wear the pink jacket with the pink sneakers and just say "fuck it" or wear the (dark brown shoes and hope she doesn't notice that they are not black.

I have to clean my house tonight. It's not dirty-dirty, but it's definitely cluttered.

My boytoy called 4 times after 1 a.m. last night. D'you think he wanted sex? And hello, if I didn't call you back after the first two times, d'you think maybe I was SLEEPING?

Stopped raining here, but the Orb is still gone. I hope it stays cloudy for the rest of the day. Of course, that makes me want to curl up and sleep but oh, well.

wait. how do the diamonds change color?

The one ad is pretty interesting because you see how weird some people really look. Kate Hudson = beautiful but what's up with her eyes?

There are red LEDs behind the diamonds.
