The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Erik was funny yesterday. He got home, and immediately embarked on raptures about my boots. He's a little nutty about shoes anyway - managing a Bostonian store for several years will do that to you, I guess - but this was a special case. He was feeling the leather, checking out the insole, exclaiming about how he was certain that they were the most comfortable shoes ever made. Then he tried to stick one on his big foot, and insisted that it fit. >.< No.

The result is that he's now determined to get a pair of his own, either solid black or solid brown, with the funky goop sole. I am amused - especially since he kept acting like I was insane when I first brought up the idea.

And yes, I'm wearing them to work. What?

This amuses me. A lot:



Superman. Nutcracker.

What's even worse is that a friend of mine is going to be forced to buy one. And the Superman Monopoly. She's just about the biggest Superman freak on the plant, which means this year is going to provide me with lots of chances to laugh at her. A lot.

Woo hoo! Someone else to come play with us. I'm getting excited - the new boots do, I have to admit, help quite a bit.

Four of my prints are going to be no longer homeless...just in time for six more to arrive by mail. Into the box they go, for future framing when I feel so inclined. Actually, two of them are already matted to a standard size, so they'll be taken care of the next time I go to Michaels.

COA business cards arrived today, only one day late! FedEx seems to have finally narrowed down the area when they search for my house...FedEx also almost got shot today. An unmarked white van flew out of our driveway today, just as Erik was pulling up. He thought we were just robbed. Somehow, I find this funny. Because I am warped.

But he made steak for dinner, so it's OK.

...damn, it's 9PM already. Today flew by, except the whole "work" part. Buck continues to be annoying. Fu-Master continues to be invisible, which is Strange and Bizzare. New!Boss Lady continues to confuse the hell out of me with her complete and total lack of people skills. And Boss Man somehow managed to wrangle a "leadership" award, which is just further evidence that I somehow slipped into Bizzaro World somewhere along the way.

And now, I go forth boldly to eat a banana. And also to feed the dog.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that I am a dumbass. Despite being provided with a high-resolution version of the COA logo by lightsider, I did the completely brainless thing and neglected to change the graphic when I actually ordered the business cards. They look OK, but...not as nice as they should. Still there are 2000 - but between me, Mel, Stacey, Typh, Jeff, and who the hell else I give a stack to...I suspect I'll be reordering before too long.
