Pair of Tom's acquired! I got them at Zumiez. The people there were very helpful and informative on how to make sure I got the right fit because they are all handmade. I wouldn't mind checking out the ballet flats even though they are pricey and would like them to cover the feet a bit more.
Gave my final presentation today in my Black Holes class, on the subject of humanity as a galactic civilization, dressed (and in character) as The Doctor. The professor was a huge Doctor Who fan, and couldn't stop laughing throughout the presentation. He took me aside afterwards and told me that the paper on the subject I'd turned in beforehand was "fantastic... almost poetic." Then, upon posting a photo of me in costume, several female nerdy friends comment immediately with variants of "This is amazing!"
So yeah, good day. Gives me something to hold onto heading into finals!
11, since I happened to have a jacket that looked rather like his. 10th would have been my choice, but I don't have a trenchcoat, unfortunately. So, add in a bow tie and fez, plus the screwdriver I already have, some wild, flailing mannerisms, and there we have it! Even though most of the class didn't know anything about Doctor Who, they were laughing throughout, so I'll call it a success!
If we wait any longer we'll be making an announcement when our new addition arrives in September. James and I are pregnant, and this is the furthest we've made it so far. Three weeks ago we discovered it's a…

A few weeks ago, I related how I talked with this intern agency (known as Super Interns) about getting possible work; well I just got off the phone with them and...I GOT HIRED!! Specifically, I am a Digital Media intern which means that I'll be hired to make charts, make PowerPoint presentations, do video editing, shoot videos (which now gives me an excuse to buy a camera), and all that stuff. It is unpaid, but I couldn't care less since I've got a job that pays me anyway (Stockboy at CVS). This might just be the opportunity I've been waiting for!
I just got called up to my bosses office. I walked in there and the heads of sales, marketing, and imports are in there with the owner of the company. I was certain i was going to be fired fore something (like browsing the forums durring work hours) Instead I find out that i'm being offered a promotion and a tranfer to the imports department so I can train to become a new import and compliance specialist!
This means I'm going to be paid to become a pedantic expert on firearm law! It's like a dream come true!
I just got my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones today... These things are beautiful. These headphones are so good at blocking outside noise that I find myself not breathing, because I can hear my breath. I have been listening to all of my songs again, and I can't believe they are the same songs that I always listen to! There seems to be an added layer of depth to each song, and I keep on hearing things I didn't hear before. I read reviews talking about how the bass falls flat on these headphones, and I don't know what they are talking about! The bass is perfect, because it doesn't "pound" like some speakers and completely destroys the song, but the bass is still noticeable and prominent. If I do have a complaint about them, it's only that the chord is heavier than my iPod Nano and I look like either a serious DJ or a dork, I can't decide. But this doesn't matter, cause these things are FUCKING AMAZING!
Well, Since I used to use my 280 Pros when DJ-ing, I would say "serious DJ". Not really designed for out and about use, though. You'd be better served with a pair of earbuds for that kind of use. Be good to those 'phones and they'll last you years. I've had mine for about 5 years now. The cups need to be replaced, but they are still solid as all get out.
Isn't it the best feeling in the world when you've finished all your final exams for the semester and you're free? Well that is exactly how I am feeling right now! Tonight will consist of drinking, being merry, and whoring (if I'm lucky).
