copper

I just bought these boots for an unbelieavable steal of a price even with the shipping. I stared, pondered, reminded myself I was shopping for new boots just recently, contemplated how I often deny myself things because they cost money, rationalized that I have some money in the bank and I'm getting my bills paid, rationalized that if I'm going to deny myself cake and hash browns in the name of health I should at least get some tangible reward... and then I just succumbed to the beautiful color of the shoes. Coppery, and shiny, and with enough platform to make me look taller. Sweetness.

no pudding for vegans

Me: standing in kitchen reading the back of a pudding package. "Note: Pudding will not set with soy milk."

Tyler impersonating the pudding lords: "Fuck you vegans!" followed by maniacal laughter.

Seriously, how weird is that? I don't like soy milk, but is it because it doesn't have the same kinds of fats as milk? Life as a vegan must be sad without instant pudding.

My box of soaps from Althaea came today. I could smell the ginger peach from outside the box. Mmmm.

The theme music to Battlestar gives me goosebumps.

Two different people thanked me today. I feel like that is some kind of record.

After nearly ten years, I finally framed the Communist propoganda posters I owe. Genuine Soviet originals, from the USSR via some foreign exchange students in Mr. Smiley's economics class ten years before that. I handed over a huge chunk of cash for this, but I think it was worth it. They are enormous. I need to get someone with a digital camera to take photos of them.
