My sunglasses are in!
My septum tusk is ordered.
I have nifty red glasses.
And groovy dark earrings.

And I had a sammich for lunch.
(Panera fucked it up again…but I am happy enough to have my tummy full)
I am working till 5 tonight.
YAY for me.
(for once that wasn’t sarcastic. I think it’s all the iced tea I’ve been drinking)

D, being the sweetest husband in the world, bought me a new game for my PSP. The theory is that I need game time to balance the madness of school and work. I agree. But, I would since I am a total game junkie. I even brought my PSP with me to work today, hoping that I could find some time to goof off (not likely). MediEvil is quite fun, although I am just starting out. I shall let you know how happy I am with the new game. I was disappinted in Untold Legends. I loved Diablo and Diablo II, but this really didn’t take me to the happy places like those games did. I don’t know. I guess I am more into jumping around and shooting stuff. I like guns. I want more Ratchet and Clank, personally. But I heard there is a PSP game coming out based on Jak and Daxter, but it only involves Daxter. He was the best part of that series anyway. Ahhhh… I love games.

My Chrome bag came yesterday. It’s SWEET!!! I’m soooo happy. I got the cellphone holster too, so hopefully I can keep better track of where it’s at. The mini-metro fits my laptop, my iPod box (it has my 15g and my shuffle, plus headphones and the power plug) my wallet, random chick-junk and a place for a water bottle. I am going to steer away from purses. They rarely possess sufficent room for my whims, when I feel like I need to carry both books and my camera, or when I am shopping and need a bag full of water bottles. I need flexibility in a bag, and my loverly Chrome bag supplies it completly. D wants to get another big one, so that he can have his “own” bag. We are going to have 3 messenger bags from Chrome by the end of it. But I do have to say, they build the best bag I have ever used!

I’ve spent the week reconnecting with my friend Nicole. We went to Pine Forest Sr. High in Fayetteville. I remember her green VW, which required her to pop the clutch to get the bloody thing started. We had good times, the two of us. And I really thought we would have kept in touch. But, time tears asunder all you build, leaving you to exact some kind of satisfaction from the ruins of long-gone relationships. So, the e-mails have flown to and fro. She’s not where I expected her to be. I really thought she would have gone off and done something utterly grand, but she lives in Wisconsin and is quite happy. She’s moving to a town with 450 people. It reminds me of Germany, that kind of sparse population. But, I had lots of reading to do and nothing in my schedule but school. I think as an adult, I would go apeshit. Although, the internet is quite entertaining. Still, I think I shall have to at least live near a city. But, it’s great catching up. One of these days I will make time for a phone call…..

Class tonight. Exhaustion. But I’m a happy tired Erica. And I want sushi for dinner (I know, what a shock!)

No, I’m not kidding!

A nice kimono

Purdy!
I was thinking yesterday, in my random wanderings through exhaustions most interesting corridors, that I want a dress. I don’t want it until I lose some of this “getting all chill with my life” weight, but I want it so I can go see a symphony, and not feel like a total cheeseball doing it. There is still edge (or is that just class???) to this dress that I really love. And I have to admit I dig those heels too….. but I’d never be able to walk in them.

Sometimes I just want to play dress-up. To get all shiny and new and go out on the town with the huzzie, almost pretending we aren’t who we really are. I kind of tried to do that with the ring ceremony, but the hectic vibe squished all the fun out of my attempt. So, I will buy this dress, get D a nice outfit and we will go listen to classical music, or take a dance lesson. And when the night is over, we will shed our skins and become the t-shirt loving slags we normally are.

I have to support any company that uses recycled materials!

There is also a great article in Salon about the company, but I’m not sure if you need a subscription to read it.

We decided this weekend to make some changed to the finances. Instead of shelling out the monthly fee to the Y, we purchased bikes. I have a gym at work that I need to utilize and it costs me nearly nothing. The bikes weren’t cheap, but they came highly recommended and seem to fit our needs. I need something that I can “do” something with. I really dig night riding, so instead of polluting my lungs with smoke and killing my liver with booze, I am going to ride a bike all over town. If you have a little ride, let me know! We can make a day of hauling ass down the pavement!

Here’s the Bike!

I want one…(but you had to know that was coming)

Playing this!!!

I love this game, although it’s kicking my ass at the moment.

Pout

But, I want my frickin iPod shuffle to ship! Alas, it shall be some time before I get the bloody thing. The estimated ship date is 2/14, so it can be a Valentine’s Day present! (except I think that is a crap holiday!)…..so I would heart Apple more if they would just hook me up with some apple love…..

I am a spoiled brat…yes… I know.
