but if you're good, you get honey on your toast
(i was watching total dramarama on the cartoon network before. little kids playing superheroes. bee girl will sting you if you're bad - her stinger is a plunger, because kids - but if you're good.... :D )
happy cheap chocolate eve, o my flist. :D we had a giant strawberry shortcake at work to celebrate, plus heart-shaped cookies and brownies. yum. and tax had pizza, because we're special. :D and at one the entirety of tax disappeared for a training, and it was VERY QUIET on the 14th floor. like, so quiet i had a hard time concentrating.
a new tax manager started on monday, and today i did some stuff for him, and when he said "thank you", my response was "for what?" >.< (for doing your job, you dumbass.)
if you want an update on the very special partner, i spent forty-five minutes yesterday adding a day to her hotel reservation for the conference in california that required all the damn flights, and booking a car service for a conference in indiana that started today. she doesn't need to rent a car, but the airport's an hour away. so, car service. (renting a car would be cheaper.) i booked it and emailed her the details (she was in new york at some work thing or other) and considered it done. ha.
her: *emails* please change pickup to 4, per new info.
(new info contained in another email.)
me: your flight is at 5 and the airport is an hour away and if you leave any later than 3 there's a chance you'll miss your flight.
her: ok, 3.
me: *calls car service and changes pickup time* *emails the partner to tell her they'll pick her up at 3 at the hotel*
her: have them pick me up at the kelley school [where i guess the conference is].
me: *thinks* i'm going to reach through the internets and strangle you. also why didn't you say that before?
me: *googles the kelley school to see where it is* *calls car service again and asks them to please change the pickup location* *emails partner to update her*
her: thanks.
OH MY GOD. if i get an email from her tomorrow with anything other than "here's the receipt for lunch" i will lose my shit. today was a nice normal day, aside from the celebratory cake and pizza and everyone vanishing for three hours. the very special partner is out of the office, maybe that's why.
still watching deadly class, altho it seems to be taking that most worn and cliched of paths and going for a love triangle. how boring. i am disappoint. music's still great, tho. and the magicians was a little disconcerting and a little weird and a little fun. also i giggled at how shy penny was when faced with a naked julia. i'm a little weirded out by him making moon eyes at her - i mean, i'm so used to him and kady being a thing - but the shyness was oddly cute. i liked the maenad too. shoshana.
i just don't get margo and josh sleeping together. she never demonstrated anything near that kind of attraction for him, altho i guess i can buy her considering him a friend. but are we really supposed to believe she'd deliberately let herself be cursed with lycanthropy just to save him? because i didn't buy that. but i did like that the show seemed to be treating the curse like a really terrible std, and josh had very firm ethics about not passing it on. and i can appreciate that. also the thing with the komodo dragon - they stole kanye's lizard! and its heart wasn't that bad. and if that indonesian spell didn't work, well, todd owed margo one.
monster!eliot is so disconcerting! he sounded like he really cared that quentin was so upset about his dad! and his advice to start throwing model planes turned out to be good advice! and he genuinely seemed to want to help, because he cared about quentin! and he sounds like he wants to understand people! but he's still a monster! so it's disconcerting! i'm seriously impressed with hale appleman and his ability to be someone so un-eliot-ish. and thank god eliot isn't dead.
in sad news, the mars rover opportunity finally went dark, after fifteen years of toodling across the surface of the planet. (she was apparently done in by a really bad dust storm.) she was only supposed to last ninety days. surprise. :D so raise a glass for her and for the men and women who put her on mars, and for all the information she and her fellow rover managed to send back to us. sometimes the future is a really fabulous place to live.
and finally, because it's valentine's day/cheap chocolate eve, let me share one simple trick for impressing your sweetie in bed.
