What is even happening?

How much do iPods go for? I've been considering one for Scott, but never take it far enough to look at them, in case I fall in love and they're too expensive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They're spensive, Cindy. Like $400 for the good one.

My brain totally exploded this morning,

And then you vacuumed it up?

My postal lateness issues are compounded by the fact that my parents' postal district is really really screwed up and mail is late all the time. Like, weeks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I get em cheaper through the caltech bookstore. The 4 gig is $229.00

My dad's birthday is the day after father's day, so I usually try to get him something really good when I can.

Ooh. That's what I was afraid, Jesse. Thanks. I won't look.

Even the $299 is too rich for my blood, right now. He's not my freakin' father.

I'm hoping my dad will be OK with a late-arriving card for father's day, myself.

I thought Father's Day was last Sunday, so I am a week early.

For the record, I love my iPod shuffle, which you can pick up for under a hundred. Not for everyone, maybe, but it's insanely portable and easy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I do not tut-tut. I occasionally tch!, but I do not tut. I simply do not grasp the concept of expecting other business people to take you seriously when your goolie is waggling in the breeze, is all.

When men go to the office in see-through shirts and package-pouches, then cleavage, muffin-tops and thong-tops will be acceptable business attire.

...I also occasionally hmphf.

Maybe it was, in Canada!

I am considering getting a Shuffle, but am also thinking I could get the real deal if I just wait a little longer. I'm slightly giddy with the thought that this paycheck I just got will be followed by many more. It's been a long time since I had a regular income.

I'm getting so many telephonic things done today, it's weird (I am telephone averse.) I've called the vet for a regular check up, made arrangements for boarding the cat while I'm gone, made a haircut appointment and...well, that's it. I've been fruitlessly calling apt leasing office too, but no one is answering.

Of course, I should be working. Hrm.
