That pool looks awesome! So much fun.

People need to shop for me, too. Shopping is not at all fun for me, but having the new clothes is great! I'm too much of a ditherer to enjoy shopping.

I got TWO bean and cheese burritos for those playing along at home. But they were plain, just beans and cheese, which really, really confused the guy at Del Taco. It just would not compute for him. So I decided not to complain when he gave me a real Coke rather than a Diet Coke. That's what I actually wanted, if not what I said.

Thanks, Calli! And thanks, Liese!

I now want to go swimming at the awesome pool. Which reminds me, Kat, when are we gonna go see the Pants movie?

In the meantime, I rented "Southland Tales," a movie which apparently stars The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, and Mandy Moore. How had I never heard of this before? Since I usually really enjoy Mandy Moore movies and am pretty apathetic about Sarah Michelle Gellar movies, and like The Rock movies, but have no interest in Justin Timberlake movies, I'm really fascinated about how this one's going to go.

I was going to link to the Klein hat (and Moebius scarf), but I should have known that another smarty-pants would have gotten there before I did.

(In my defense, we were watching S5 of Buffy -- Into the Woods [ptui] and Triangle.)

I love the Acme Klein Bottle site -- they're so cheerfully geeky! For instance:

Pop an Acme Klein Bottle on your head!

It's ideal for skiing, sleigh-rides, snowball fights, midwinter colloquia, Antarctic beach parties, and alpine chess tournaments. A perfect gift for anyone with a zero-volume head. An important accessory to the one-sided mind. An essential headwarmer for your non-orientable friends who are temporarily immersed in our 3-dimensions.

I did good at Macy's today. Got a new bra and a pretty shirt and two pairs of high-waist wide leg jeans. One black, one blue. [link] I suspect that these are out of style, but they are perfect for work, look fabulous on and were only $25.

They're really, really warm?

I've been shopping for jeans for about a year now. Have yet to purchase a pair.

I am not a good shopper, at least not when it comes to jeans.

So I think I'm gonna pay for an extra day of daycare for my daughter tomorrow as I need to go to work and so does DH and school doesn't start until Wednesday. Hope it isn't too anticlimactic for her, what with the big party on Friday for the last day of preschool. Oops.

One to appease the spider?

I don't see the spider, so it no longer exists. My cat and I agree.

My parents got me an Acme Klein Bottle as a present for passing my specialty exam. I don't think they had any idea what it actually was -- I think that my mom just googled "math gift" or something like that and it came up, and then she emailed the guy who runs the site to ask if it would be a good present for someone who just passed a math specialty exam, and he said yes.

I'm still looking for drawsting jeans. I think Orvis has a pair.
