IOW coming back to work from lunch was HARD!

Well, if you can't get to Tuscany today, get thee outside. We've got as close to a perfect New England summer day out there as we've had all summer. It ain't gonna last (unless Emily took all the nassssty weather with her to Frisco).

I did mention that it is beautiful here today, not Tuscany beautiful, but the best weather we have had all summer. Sadly I think my outdoor plans today consist mainly of going to the market.

it is beautiful out there. I wish I had other excuses to get outside.

I've been IUD'd.

Crampy now. Want chocolate.

Hello, Bitches. I am at my new job, which allows me real Internet access. I must remember to be a good girl and do the work I'm paid for first.

it is beautiful out there. I wish I had other excuses to get outside.

I'm trying to think of things to do after work so I can enjoy the day other than just "walk around" (which I used to enjoy in and off itself, but lately hasn't been cutting it, motivation-wise). Most of the free-time "to do" things I have mentally noted are movies I want to see which is NOT the way to enjoy this weather. *sigh* These days, when the weather sucks, I don't want to have to get to the theater through it to see a movie; when it's nice, it seems like a waste of the nice.

I swear I didn't used to be this lame.

Ah well - in better news, I've got some really terrific friends who gave me a gift card to Ikea for WAY too much money for my 40th b-day. And offered to give me a ride to same. That kinda made my day.

I got my period 7/1, had it for seven or eight days (typical for me), then got it again on the 14th and had it for another week. I'm suspecting Ovulating Demons at this point. I'm not, however, on the Ring. Just the rag. Perpetually.

I'm just holding my breath now.

I did manage to get to see Labyrinth on Sunday afternoon and it was just as beautiful as I remembered. Even the parts that I didn't especially like (the weird Fiery Creature Dance in the middle which I felt totally cut the film in half and the doofusy goblin battle at the end) worked ok.

I was glad to see that David Bowie's acting in it was superb. I'm hard pressed to know if it's just his skill or that he was basically playing himself. He was over the top when he needed to be but most of the time, he was silky smooth with a menancing edge. And so. fuckking. pretty.

Jennifer Connelly's acting was still raw--I daresay she was cast for her wide-eyed beauty. But you could definitely see her potential.

The Bog of Eternal Stench still makes me laugh like a loon. Yes, I'm twelve.

I am about to fall asleep at my desk. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the rest of today.

Poor Cindy (in re: to Girly TMI). Maybe there's something in the MA air?

SUZI! Wake up! Or I'm gonna make you come help me pack!
