Sep. 27th, 2008 05:24 pmI just made five or six librarian-themed user icons. They will be in heavy rotation starting October 6th, I think. Yesterday I picked up my new hire information, all shoved in an accordian folder, thicker and heavier than a phone book. Tomorrow I'm going to go through it and pick out which benefit package I want.
My mom and I went to Frightland on Thursday. It was family night, a sort of preview before the actual season starts. The place was pretty amazing, and I clung to my mom the entire time and let myself be scared, even though I knew it was mostly a bunch of 18-25 yr olds in face paint and thrifted costumes. We screamed our throats raw and were totally excited to see my brother acting his ass off as the mad scientist on the hayride. He brings to life this giant pumpkin monster and then jumps on the wagon and shouts in people's faces, menacingly. I plan on going again, closer to Halloween, and taking my roommate and her boyfriend and whoever else would like to see seven scary attractions for $20.
Tina totaled her car on 95 yesterday morning, but is amazingly unharmed, thank goodness.
Miscellany:
I made a big fuss about being charged 67 cents for a lemon that was supposed to cost 34 cents. It's possible that I'm coming down with a cold. There is a big delicious pot of homemade soup in the fridge: 17 bean and barley mix, pancetta, garlic, onions, shallots, fire roasted tomatoes, kale. My clothes are not fitting quite the way they did two months ago, so it's nose to the grindstone again at the gym. I may actually miss the familiar cafeteria smell of boiled-to-hell vegetable medleys when I leave McCullough. A few nights ago, I had a very naughty dream about one of the custodians at work. My sex drive has been impossibly high lately.
