Emily, I've seen the work you do. It totally IS that hard, and you absolutely do not suck!

Thank you, Lilty, you always were my favorite.

Anyone around who's familiar with the nth roots of unity? It's not for my midterm, because I'm being good and not talking to anyone about that, but for that other class.

Did my math kill the thread again? Man, I'm so sorry. Um. I have cute pets?

(I did solve the midterm problem that was driving me nuts, by the way. I was forgetting that one integer times the next integer must be even. D'oh.)

You DO have cute pets! SO cute.

I need the hivemind's opinion. I really, REALLY need a second job. I applied at a couple of places, and am not hearing much, so I broadened the search today. I went to GameStop and they gave me an interview tommorrow, but they pay about fifty cents to a dollar less an hour than I'd get anywhere in the mall. I would really like to not be in the mall area at Christmas, though. This is in a much more mellow strip mall. Plus, it might be kind of fun.

So, would it be silly of me to take a little less money and work in a video game store?

IMO fun is worth more than money.

Laura is wise.

In other news, NotEmily!Roommate is listening to music. Why's he gotta go and do that, huh? With the door open? So that there's nowhere I can go in the apartment to get away from it? I suppose I could go to a coffee shop or something, but... I'm laaaaazy.

All this talk of clothes reminds me that I spent about $350 at J. Crew and Armani Exchange the other day. Which is ridiculous, and I probably couldn't afford it. But at least I now have two nice sweaters, 5 high-quality long-sleeved t-shirts for layering, and three thicker thermal shirts, so I can survive the rest of fall.

Still need a coat and gloves. Thus, Macy's trip is on the plate for next weekend.

Why do I get interested in clothes AFTER I cut myself off from my parents financially? I wasted my supported years, I'm telling you.

Is there a discount? Are there cute geeks?

Am back from movie (mmm, nachos) and Target.

My search for Corpse Bride shoes has thus far been in vain. Target had no white heels in my size at ALL (target.com does, but not the Brooklyn store), DSW's were all over $30, which is too much for a wear-once-that's-not-my-real-wedding, and Payless had 2 pairs that were both too fugly for words.

I know it's out of season for white strappy sandals, but dude! This should not be so difficult!

If I can't find anything good by Friday, my version of the Corpse Bride is going to be in black leather boots.

I'd say Ginger's asking the right questions.

I went away to do family stuff and grocery shopping, and the thread went and changed without me.

Steph, gorgeous choices. I'm confused now, though. Who got the dress?
