Packages and assorted stuffs
Last night, I got a package in the mail. I'd bought some BPAL imps from thewaywardrose and the combined postal service of the US and Canada decided to get them to me before Xmas. Yea! To make things even better, she included some extras for me since one that I'd wanted went to someone else and another developed legs and wandered off on her before she could package it up *giggles*. I wasn't expecting that and it was a lovely thing for her to do. So, for the next couple of weeks, I'll have a new fragrance to test out *beams*.
Today was Bliss. This one smells like dark, bittersweet chocolate. It smells good enough to eat and honest to god, smells exactly like chocolate. The real stuff, not some plastic shit. I was expecting a heavier scent once on my skin, but it was fairly light. Good staying power though as if I bring my wrist to my nose now, I can still smell the remnants of it and its been a little better than 13 hours since I first applied it and there were no touch-ups at all.
I also got the notice in my inbox that my glasses have been made AND shipped and that I can expect them sometime tomorrow by 5pm. Holy crap! I may leave a note for the FedEx guy to buzz the super (in case they come while nobody is home). While I will only be working a half day tomorrow, I do need to do a little last minute run around type stuff and I don't want to have to wait until Tuesday to get my glasses *grins*.
I finished watching all 25 episodes of 07 Ghost tonight. Good anime. Incredibly slashable. Shame it doesn't spark anything in that direction for me. It'd be nice if they continue on with this as while they brought some things to a conclusion, there are still more questions that went unanswered.
I have no idea what's going on with our internet connection the last few days. Spotty would be one way of putting it. A right fucking pain in the ass would be a more accurate description. I'm reluctant to call simply because I always get somebody with only basic English skills and they always ask me to do all the shit I've already tried to get it to work right and won't just skip over those things as they have a procedure to follow *rolls eyes*. 9 times out of 10, we also get a fully functioning connection within 3 minutes of my placing the trouble call because Murphy is a fucking dick like that.
While I believe I'm working 1/2 a day tomorrow, I have the sneaking suspicion that one of my bosses is going to try and get me to stay for the whole day (and possibly want me to come in on the weekend). Uhhh... NO. I know the client is really pushing hard for these drawings, but I am not coming in on a 4-day holiday weekend to work. Just no. I don't say no often, but this time it will be a resounding no.
Because of crappy connection issues and a general lack of desire to write this evening, I do believe I'm going to sign off for the night and go work on Jolen's wig (which is coming along smashingly, I might add) while watching Shawn Of the Dead. And in rebellion of all the syrupy sweet Xmas music you hear everywhere you go (unless you're like me and wear your headphones constantly)....
