Here I am wasting your time again
Poll So important
...HA HA HA. THIS IS WHAT PASSES FOR FUNNY ON THIS JOURNAL. Actually I really wanted to do the second verse too (Arthur gets up early and stays up late! Arthur has uninterrupted prosperity! Arthur uses a machete to cut through red tape, et cetera!) and also I didn't really want to change "skirt" to "fuse" but... that mental image is just too distracting for a weekday.
A friend of mine who recently got a job at [consulting firm name here] was gossiping about people she puts up with at work. She had a long rant about twenty-nine-year-old men; about how terrifyingly condescending they can be to women just a couple years younger than they are, because at twenty-nine they think they've seen everything, that they've experienced the world, that they're grown-ups. But at twenty-nine, she said, they're still just boys. The psychological effects of spending stretches of your life in time-dilated dreamspace aside (is Arthur at twenty-nine really twenty-nine at all?), she then did a short impression of one of those guys talking to her, and I couldn't help but hear her entire spiel in the tone of voice Arthur might take toward Ariadne. Keep me out of the job market for now, please, I need to retain at least some fantasies about twenty-nine-year-olds.
Waiting for ohfreckle to get back online, China Glaze For Audrey! One of those colors that everyone talks about, that I didn't actually have until very recently. For some reason the lighting turned out fucking terrible when I took the picture, and then I couldn't get the color of the polish to look right on the screen :'( but it's a really really pretty shade, honest! I JUST SUCK AT PHOTOGRAPHY.
