Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............!!!!!!!!
I'm on a total high right now. The sad thing is that it's almost, well okay, all Gilmore Girls related. To-day was a really good episode and ended well(as in good), in a bad way(for those characters involved.) Translation:quality TV. Also I made a prediction about who was going to propose to whom, and some gorgeous cretinous spoiler-posting angel-o-mine put the answers up on the LJ post about the episode to-day. I didn't have to look. I tried not to look. I didn't look.
That is until someone's icon caught my eye. Then I had to scroll the page and I cracked like a hard boiled egg at Pascha. I was soooo right and it's awesome. I need a thesaurus to pop up whenever I use that word or any other overused pop-culture induced expletive.
Kristos Enesti!
EDIT: Also I got to quote Othello to-day! Someone didn't wear his nametag and there was mild banter ( asked him if he wanted to remain anonymous bc itwas a possible mystery shop day, etc) and he disregaded the usefulness of his name. Lo! and Sonya doth smite his flippant disregard with her vast intellect. ( Or at least a quote she had picked up from a recent issue of Fortune Magazine, a few days ago. )
" Who steals my purse steals trash....
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed."
And I was bloody accurate too. Mostly. Except inserting a "very" into the last line. I always do that.
Back at the office [store] I am met with blank, bemused, befuddled looks. "It's from Othello!" figuring that if they don't recognize it I can take the opportunity to sound as if I am a foutain of such wisdom on a regular basis. Playing it cool isn't quite kosher, but it is what helps me keep my reputation as the eccentric, bookish girl who sings along with the Muzak(it's actually not, mostly it's fifties and sixties classics) and dances in the aisles.
Also... there was something else.... I don't remember. I am shocked and amazed at the lack of my friends with Amazon dot com wishlists. It's terrible. I have two, maybe three, because I seem to forget every so often.
EDIT II: I remember now! I had to stop reading my Volga book because it was due(yeah, like any of you guys look at my booklist.. anyway) and I knew I wasn't interested enough to finish it quickly. However on Monday I picked up "The Time Traveler's Wife" and it was awesome(see link above) and made me cry. Partly sometimes because I've been kindof into papier mache since my knitting and crocheting and Russian aren't going so well, since I need mentors/tutors/fellow students to do any of those things properly. I made two papier mache eggs sans eggshell on Easter and I was awfully proud of myself. They are a bit bumpy but are very much egg-shaped and sturdy. Also I hollowed out seven real eggs, saving them from omlettes and crepes, and painted three. I used a kleenex at first but then it was making the paint clumpy. on the third one I tried putting a large dollop on the egg and blowing it around the surface. It made a really lovely finish but I ended up super dizzy and sat on the bed because I thought I was going to pass out.
EDIT III: The point of telling you about the story was that I was supposed to drop nonchalantly in a totally thrilled way that I got the Time Traveler book(not impulse really, I've been wanting it for months now) for $1.99 in once-read condition at the Salvation Army. I love that place.
