So Very Dark

So, don’t ask why I was cruising YouTube for videos featuring the song ‘You Make My Dreams’ by Hall and Oats…

But I was.

And I found this video.  Some guy made it to ask a girl he liked to prom.  Apparently she said yes.  I totally would have too.  Romantic gesture AND the video cracks me up every time I watch it.  He wins to a power of 5.  Cereal.

You Make My Dreams vid.

Last night my toes were sore and I couldn’t figure out why…I thought that maybe my shoes had pinched them…a mean feat for ballet flats…

  <–ballet flats

…but then I remembered that I had gotten up to pee at some point in the morning, and, upon standing up, had promptly fallen over.  I sprained my toes a little on the way.   I have the grace of swan, or perhaps a jungle cat.  I’m a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar…

Speaking of things soaring on the wind, something around here has been throwing out puffy pollen that looks like this:

…you know, sans Asian kids.  Well, maybe over in Oakland….  Anyway, my nose has been itching all week.  Not quite allergy-level itching, but itching…and today it is raining and the sore throat that I had thought was just a sore throat seems to have diminished.  Stupid pollen.

Of course the vast quantities of dust I breath at work can’t help.  I know that there is book fungus in that dust and you don’t want to know how much the thought of breathing mold spores skeeves me out.  And don’t tell me that I probably breathe mold spores every time a take a breath regardless of where I am.  I don’t like to think about things like that.  All I can say is that those books are lucky I love them.

<–totally me, if we had rolly ladders at work.

I just found this picture of a super cool tea pot.

Check it out:

I also found this picture, which I thought was kind of neat. 

For my typography class this week, we are designing our own typeface.  Kind of cool.  If I make something really super awesome, I’ll have to figure out how to save it as a True Text file and make it into a real font.

In my Mixed Media class, we are working with acrylics.  Acrylics might classify as the Bane of my Existence.  Stupid acrylics.

Today I have to call our landlord and let him know that we aren’t going to be renewing our lease.   Amazing that we have already been here almost a year.  How the heck did that happen?

I’m hungry. I need something breakfast related.

mmm…now I want Eggs Benedict.   Too bad for me….

But I do have raisin bagels, apple butter and cheese.  That sounds kind of like something resembling breakfast to me.  Or a quesadilla.  That’s a good breakfast.  I think that it had better involve cheese either way, though…
