La la la

I spent a good three hours this morning on the phone with various state and government functionaries in North Carolina trying to gather information necessary for conducting business there. From 0930 or so on 'til about one, when of course it's five on the east coast and they're not there to answer phones anymore. I therefore spent most of the afternoon fighting off the urge to let the lovely drawl still stuck in my head come out of my mouth. ^_^;

Cold. 'S been cold all damn day, and I apparently can't turn the heat up any higher in my office. I swear to god the building is still running A/C, never mind that it's October. And individual space heaters are a fire-hazardous no-no, so I guess I'm just stuck to freeze. Dammit all.

'Kay. Dinner. Chow mein and sesame chicken. Check. 'Nother pumpkin to carve, check. Various other projects to do, check. Proper attention to old email...? Not so likely. *sigh* Check.

Amusement!

Okay, so. We're all at Walmart, picking up various sundry wal-mart-ish necessities, and I see this girl in a t-shirt bearing the Superman logo holding hands with a guy wearing a shirt emblazoned with the Batman logo. I'm snrk-ing up a storm to myself over the unintended slashy goodness as they walk past. Not that I'd explain it to anyone. Hence the snrking to myself. Except that my husband gets this funny look on his face and says 'What're you looking so smug about?' So of course I pull out the 'ahem-*cough*-nothing' and we go on about our business.

But I am still amused.

Batteries for AJ's lightsaber, check. Extra glo-sticks for the jack-o-lanterns, check. 'Nother bottle of kiwi lemonade, check. Ohh, that's good stuff. ^_^

Ooh! Ooh! And on the way home, I heard new Depeche Mode!! It sounds quite a bit more 'signature DM' than the last album, too!! It's called 'Precious'!! And given my long-standing DM-fan-ness, that of course leads me to this:

Precious, my Precious--I must haves the Precious!

*ducks*

And now, I'm due for the nightly reading of Green Eggs and Ham. Complete with occasional lines made so dramatic as to be worthy of Shakespeare, as recited by AJ. Of course. ^_^ If you'll please excuse me.
