In about a 15 minute span of watching male figure skating highlights on the today show, I went from being marginally squicked by the feathers and jazz hands, to down right intrigued.  The Japanese team, compact and molestable, capped with delightfully anime hair, opened the door for the lad in pink satin corset laced sequined thing of oddly hot.  A ( Read more... )

I have done absolutely NO work this morning.  None.  Nada.  I have, however, spent the last 3.5 hours looking for a masters degree.  I live in a university town.  Said university is cheap.  However, said university (A) does not offer the degree I want (B) does not offer the schedule I want.  Course after course is advertised as "convenient for ( Read more... )

I've been quite rank about my job lately.  No raise, shit benefits, I work so hard, blah blah blah.  And today we hired a new staffer who has my same credentials (minus the professional certification), but still.  Bachelors degrees in my field are rare.  And as soon as I heard about her I *ached* to know how much they started her at, indignantly ( Read more... )

We spent Black Friday in the quarter at the Isle paying for our bartender's second boat. It was nice. Although, I don't think I will be mixing black ( Read more... )

Doorbell rang at 7:45 this morning.  That unexpected interruption is always a little chilling.  Who needs me before business hours on a Thursday morning?  It was my mom, telling me she was parking in my driveway so the movers would have access to her garage so they could pack up all my brother's belongings.

We just stood there and looked at each ( Read more... )

All of the sudden, the commerce gates have opened!  It's like I am discovering Amazon for the first time.  I have been updating my wishlist every night.  It is SO incredibly therapeutic just to browse and dream and wish.  *coff* my wish list it TOTALLY UPDATED *coff ( Read more... )

Nothing at all is wrong, but this Monday is just working my nerves!  The way I was running late for work (totally my fault), that my darling love was feeling bad (we've both been sick), that my dog piddled on the floor by my bad (I slapped his ass good for that one).  Just little things that amount to nothing THAT OMG GRUMPED ME OUT ( Read more... )
