Saw a groundhog at work today, and my mood was instantly improved. :DDD Made my colleague/fellow co-op student/friend(?) take photos with his iPhone, but I'm not sure how well they came out...
ALSO, I HAVE RECEIVED SQUIDLETSSSSSS. I just need to upload photos before I leave feedback for the seller. I am concerned that the other crocheted plush octopus I bought has still not arrived despite having been "shipped" weeks ago. These squidlets arrived in days. Granted, the octopus is coming from Australia, but still. D:
Have temporarily given up reading Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job because it so far pales in comparison to Lamb and I kinda hate when characters do really really stupid things, especially within the first 3 chapters of the book. laksdboasufnjsa.
My car window's opening/closing mechanism broke on Tuesday, leaving my window stuck half open. Cost me $300 to fix and then I wound up having to see my mechanic after work again today because he forgot his tools in my car >_>;
Started reading The Lightning Thief while waiting for my car to be fixed. It's easy reading (good for my otherwise dead braincells to absorb), has Greek gods/mythological figures in it (WHICH I LOVE), and it's almost vaguely clever in places so far. Vaguely. Author has nothing on Christopher Moore or Will Ferguson or Sedaris in my opinion, but being witty is not really what he's trying to do anyway. Also, I hear a movie is being made of it? It seemed very popular, with the last book in the series having recently come out and displays in Chapters and kids running around with copies of it. So I bought one too. I'm kinda glad it seems worthwhile so far. And this bullet is getting way too long. D:
God I want to get a new lens to replace my kit lens so bad. More specifically, the Canon 50mm f/1.4. However, finding one for a decent price online has been difficult... I've made some offers on some that I've seen but my lack of a credit card with which to pay has caused issues, and/or others beat me to it. Damned popular versatile lens is popular. |: Am thinking of going to my Chinese camera place (where I've gotten most of my camera gear so far) to see what kind of deal I can strike up.
However, am also getting kind of tempted to blow money on new doll (parts) instead, but I swore that I'd avoid purchasing more resin this year and I'm going to stick to it dammit and blow the money on glass instead if I can get a good deal from the Chinese camera shop lalalala
Okay I'm done I think. :D"
