Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness
I just got back from court for work, such a waste of time since the other party didn't show. Frustrating.
Sitting in Chez Alice. Drinking: Iced chai. Eating: Linzer tart.Sitting with a Belgian girl. The sun has disappeared behind a cloud.
Jackie - star of David?Vacuuming. Hose got clogged. Cleaned it. Then took the time to cut out the long wrapped hairs from the roller. Took a break from vacuuming. Now going back to it.

Life is sweet, eh?

Well, nothing's popped up yet. Surprisingly.
My boss and I were just talking about this morning's fall... BECAUSE it reminded me of the time about 5 years ago when I tried to pull the curtains down in my room after moving into the house (from hell). I'd been asking my roommate's boyfriend to get them down for me for a few weeks by that point since he's 6'4" and the curtains were butt ugly. He didn't ever do it and I got impatient... so one night, I grabbed my cedar chest and pulled it around all the boxes and stuff on the floor... and balanced myself on my toes between my cedar chest and my bed <-- not smart. I was standing on my tippytoes when the bed yanked out from under my foot, the one that had all my weight beared down upon it. If I hadn't been on my toes, it wouldn't have been an issue, but I stood suspended for a few seconds trying to find something to grab aaaaaaand fell with my chest across my stereo and bounced off of it. I ended up with a humongoid bruise across my chest.
I wouldn't call it a fetish though, Sally. It's more like a profound respect, maybe? I had a friend who works in medicine once tell me that, if I could handle the discomfort, the best thing for a bruise is to knead it out so the blood disperses. I can totally handle the pain so that's typically what I do when I spot one on me. I wouldn't ever do that to someone else, though. It's extremely uncomfortable, and I can't tolerate seeing someone else in pain or discomfort.
Matt wrote: "Very. This has been a lovely day."Yay. :)
Bruises do cause spectacular colors, yes they do. Heidi - ouch.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, Heidi.
Matt wrote: "It was bound to happen sooner or later, Heidi."I hope you're referring to the lovely day, Matthew. It DOES sound really lovely. You know, even though I've been out of school for 12 years now, I still have what I call "anniversary anxiety" around May and also between Thanksgiving and mid-December. I know that it's a lingering effect from years of finals around those times of year. ANYTHING you can do to offset the negative effects of school finals/project & paper deadlines is always good. A lovely day in the middle of finals would definitely count as such.

I was running up the stairs to work from the parking garage(because I do that) and slipped and almost face planted into the concrete stairs.Holy hell, thank god I wasn't there, because I would have peed my pants laughing...then I would have asked if you were hurt.
Why do you have to put stickers on the books, Jackie?
And what are this Belgian girl's intentions, Matt?
I'm full of questions at the moment.
Apparently this is an old Milwaukee serial killer...for twenty years or something. I don't quite get it. How did they just figure out he/she was a serial killer now?Right now I'm getting ready to go to Target to find hooks that stick on the wall. I also was supposed to leave work at 11:30 today and didn't leave until 1:30. I hate that.

Serial killer?!! What's THAT about?
That doesn't answer my question. Does she like you? Was this a date? Who paid? I know people want to know.

MATT!!! It's been THREE minutes already! Don't leave us hangin'!
yeah, we are all in our flippin' dull lives drinking warm diet cokes out of a can and brushing Cheeto crumbs off of our clothes while you are snacking on tea and crumpets at some cool cafe with some exotic belgium chick. what gives dude? spill
Is she tall? What languages does she speak? Does she wear a beret? Does she have an accent?
This is important? Haha, it's just a break from studying/lunch.Hardly exciting.
Then again, it's nice to leave the confines of my dorm room. I like to hide in there. I'm a rather shy/introverted fellow...
Do you speak to each other in French or in English? Or both?

a beretthat is the funniest thing i have heard all day.
We Have A Winner !!! ding ding ding
Clearly Matt wants us to fill in the blanks when considering his lunch with this Belgian woman. I assume she was sitting on your lap, Matt, feeding you grapes?
Lori, yes, Star of David stickers. From Demco!RA, we sticker the holiday picture books, such as Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and Jewish holidays, so that patrons (and librarians) can find them on the shelves more easily. The demand for kids' books on holidays is HUGE!
I know, it feels a little weird to be putting Stars of David stickers on books, like they're Anne Frank or something...
And Matt, details! We want more details!!
...the red kind (the grapes, I mean)!
Our library puts all the holiday books on one shelf during that holiday's season...but our library is pretty small, so it's probably easier...
and whispering Belgium military secrets in your ear
No, I believe he mentioned a lintzer tort. Belgium women must like feeding cute lil' American guys pastries. I'd take that bait if I were you, Matt. ;)Sometimes the shy ones are the most fun.
Matt wrote: "French, mostly. "Beau cul, belle gueule! ;)
Bad Heidi! BAD!!!
around here we are suspicious of torts. we like things to look more like tater tots
I'm not suspicious of chocolate tortes at all. I'm totally fine with them.
Oh, I had the best cajun tots over the weekend! (with ranch dressing) They went great with the beer & tequila shots. :) Just cause I know y'all wanted to know about that.
Tater Tots are the food of the Gods. I like the round kind best.
The ranch dressing on anything other than salad thing is alarming to me.
Jackie "the Librarian" wrote: "The ranch dressing on anything other than salad thing is alarming to me."I feel the same way, mostly. Then again, ranch dressing grosses me out.
I don't like any kind of salad dressing.
uh jackie, ranch dressing is good on anything except ice cream
Oh it's perfect with spicy foods like cajun tots or hot wings. Yummy! But, it has to be the good ol' fashioned ranch dressing, not the new icky low-fat stuff.
Mustard! (the good kind - NO honey... ick)
What are cajun tots?!! I'm v. Cajun, and I've never heard of them.

And, re: serial killers
On my way home, one of the lovely Berkeley homeless locals held up his "Haiku Of The Week" in Sharpie on ratty cardboard:
Serial killers
buy their groceries with you.
You don't even know.
Congrats, Nools! Enjoy your freedom.
