...Just want to say Pi Day!

*such a dork*

Dear pharmaceutical industry: I love you. I love you so very, very much. You are my new friend.

I am not the stoic type. I realized that fully today, when I whimpered my way through a wisdom tooth extraction. Seriously, I sounded like a kicked puppy.

Christmas! I love Christmas. I like decorations, and candy, and yes, I unironically love Christmas music. But the best part is watching kids open presents and seeing their reactions ( Read more... )

You guys. You need to read this fic. Seriously. If you're a fan of the Vorkosigan saga, you need to read this--it's EPIC. And happy! I do enjoy Miles-whumping (AKA canon) as much as the next person, but sometimes you just want a truly happy ending.

The high-pitched whine of a dentist's drill must be one of the most horrifying sounds in the universe.

Like CJ said up there, I had a root canal today. It wasn't so bad, except for the knowledge that the dentist was drilling into my freaking tooth. *shudders* I spent the entire time quoting "Celestial Navigation" to myself. And running "Carry ( Read more... )

So, today is Black Friday. You'd think that, as I work at Walmart, I'd have a horror story about how crazy people were today.

Not so much.

Actually, my store was so slow in sales this morning that about half of the associates got to go home early (me included). Sucks for my bonus, but great for my blood pressure.

...Ended up crying like a baby. AGAIN. Curse you, Pixar, and your ridiculously sentimental films!

Though I must say, I kinda adore Merida. So far from the early, eternally passive Disney princesses.

Oh! And in my headcanon, Queen Elinor (Merida's mother) is totally Rapunzel's mom's sister.

I had to work Tuesday night, so I could watch the news on TV. Instead, as soon as my midnight break rolled around, I grabbed my cell phone and hit up the CNN site.

I totally didn't leap out of my chair, shout "YES!" and fistpump when I saw that CNN had called the election in favor of Obama. Not at all.

Except that I really, really did.

I was on iTunes in order to get a copy of "The War Was in Color" by Carbon Leaf (for which I blame settiai's awesome Captain America/Avengers vid), and I started poking around. There were a bunch of classical albums featured, and I remembered that I've wanted to get a copy of "The Lark Ascending" by Vaughan Williams for a while. The only problem with ( Read more... )

I've been summoned for jury duty in October. Whoopee. Fortunately, there's an Amtrak station within walking distance of both my apartment and the courthouse in New London, so I'm good for transportation.

Now I just need to figure out if I should take the night before or the night after that day off work.
