WANTED: Extra-strength painkiller, effective immediately. Apply within.
My period--and, consequently, cramps--just started, and here I am at work without my ibuprofen. Worst. Timing. Ever.
Why can't menstruation be like every other painful, annoying part of puberty, and just leave you alone to enjoy your adult years? I mean, eventually you get over being a spotty, awkward, metal-mouthed, slightly oily adolescent, but you still have to menstruate. (Well, I do, anyway. Can't speak for everyone.)
But enough about that. Speaking of work, I've somehow managed to be working every day of this three-day weekend. What with one thing and another, I got very minimal hours this quarter--which annoyed me a little, though I tried to convince myself that it was best for my sanity, if not my checking account--but then I agreed to cover a shift on Monday (MLK Jr. Day, so the library has weird hours), and just now I rescued a co-worker by agreeing to take her shift tomorrow. Which wasn't exactly how I'd planned to spend my weekend, but hey, at this rate, my paycheck might not be as measly as I'd feared. So there's that.
And, because I just wasn't busy enough to start with, I've got my eye on a couple of movies and a couple of upcoming concerts. Movie-wise, I'd really like to see Pan's Labyrinth, a.k.a. El Laberinto del Fauno, and I'm also quite interested in Letters from Iwo Jima (omfg Ken Watanabe). Seattle people: the first one's playing at the Harvard Exit, and the latter's playing at the Egyptian. If anyone's interested.
Music-wise, the Presidents of the United States of America are playing at the Showbox all through President's Day weekend! If you don't think that's totally cool, then you probably suck. Just sayin'. Also, VNV Nation are touring in the U.S. again; exact dates for the Western part of the tour haven't been posted yet, but I keep obsessively checking their website. It'll probably be sometime in June. Maybe it can be my graduation present to myself to go see them.
Right. Enough tooling around on LJ for now (even though it is TOTALLY LEGITIMATE to get paid for doing so, shut up).
