Ten things of recentness

1) [livejournal.com profile] s00j show at Smith College on Saturday! With a disco ball! Only a few dozen in the audience, but with enough geek-fledgeling enthusiasm for five hundred. In the middle of "D&D," a dice party broke out in the ostensible mosh pit area.

2) Toothache. Yay.

3) Job hunting. Much like a toothache, only without the party-like atmosphere. Spent some of today chatting with temp agencies. Wish me luck.

4) The novel. I'm slowly coming to realize that I may have written myself into a corner with my prospective ending. This does not please me.

5) The novel again. In writing item #4 just now, my sub-brain operating in background mode may have actually solved the problem. Huh.

6) My dad, who may be coming to Boston on a business trip in June! Calloo, callay! There shall be lunch on a business account!

7) Mt. Holyoke College. While visiting [livejournal.com profile] figmentj over the weekend, something less than a riot but greater than a "can you keep it down" police visit broke out at one of the other residence halls. Someone got maced apparently, but all we knew about were the flashing blue-and-reds and a great number of people scurrying about in a cheese-it-the-five-0 fashion. Exciting!

8) Sleep. HA HA HA HA! But seriously, folks.

9) Creaking doors. The neighbor has one, and it's been sloooooowly groaning back and forth all expletive-deleteding day, and I want you all to know that I love you just in case this dissolves into a hostage situation.

10) Knickers. [livejournal.com profile] figmentj and I have determined that we need to use the word "knickers" more often. And "spunk." Knickers and spunk.

Knickers can in some cases beget spunk, yes.

But "spunky knickers" are something else entirely....

This made me laugh for like ten straight minutes. <3

In re: point #10 -- there's a Reeses Peanut Butter Cups ad waiting to be made.

S00j is awesome on so many levels.
