aprilstarchild: (Pippin and Me)
1. My nifty non-iPod headphones aren't working anymore. That is, unless I hold the part that plugs into the thing, at the exact right angle, and that gets tiring, especially when the bus goes over a bump and suddenly I can't hear anything at all. I'm really hoping it's the headphones and not the iPod, but the iPod would at least be under some sort of warranty, wouldn't it? I think my iPod headphones are in a box somewhere, and I don't like them anyway. It's always amused the shit out of me that people wear the earbuds it comes with, as in my opinion, they sound kinda shitty. The ones I've been using, I bought for thirty bucks less than a year ago. I like them...when they work.

2. Jarrod was apparently visibly tired at work the other day. His foreman jokingly asked, "Your girlfriend keeping you up late?" to which he answered "Yeah." Because, um, I have been. I have no idea why I'm suddenly feeling so, er, amorous these days. Jarrod complained to me that we need to be going to bed even earlier if I'm planning to tackle him. I don't plan it. Okay, maybe I did last night.

(But he's so fucking cute! How could I not pounce him almost every night?)

3. Something contagious is going around at work. Yesterday the switchboard woman was out (for the third day) and someone at the front desk left early, and then my supervisor had a meeting to go to. Which means the phone was constantly ringing, as there was almost no one to answer it!

4. Let the rats loose in the room for a while yesterday. They loved that. I spent much of the time fishing them out of the closet, because all my clothes are on the floor of it. Merry just kept going for it. Having four rats loose in the room is a matter of counting them up every other minute or so..."one, two, three...where's Merry?" But they had a good time and we got to play with each of them a little and they got to explore their new surroundings. They seem a little happier with me now, but that might have been because I let them "fish" for frozen peas in a bowl of water. I love watching them do that, and they love peas!

5. The weekend of Faire in the Grove is the same weekend as Shaqra's Bellydance Showcase. I'm trying not to dwell on that, lest I go stark raving bonkers, because I obviously can't do both, and I've already committed to the SCA event. Oy! (A similar situation is that Convergence, a Bjork concert in Seattle, and Pirate's Gathering are all the same weekend.)

On that subject, I want to start bellydance classes again...I think later on in the summer, when I've mostly paid Jarrod back. Yup. I need to pick a few hobbies to really commit to, and I'd love to make bellydance one of them. I'm hoping to eventually take two classes a week. I don't know if I'll ever perform, but it's just so much fun and such a good workout. I'm on Euphoria Studio's email list, and they had a link to some youtube videos, and I remembered why I wanted to take classes from them--it's not just because they're so close by. I really like their style!

6. Katrina's boyfriend is having family over the weekend of the Justin Timberlake concert, which is September 7th. Anyone else want to go? Anybody?

Dang.
