It's quiet here today.

TOO QUIET.

Actually it's mostly that everyone took advantage of the office being in disarray to "work" from home today. That's fine, they're missing the mini kit-kat bars I brought in for my candy bowl. Plus it means I can get some work done on my own. :D

I was kind of annoyed this morning to stumble across something that looks really cool -- an article about Track Your Happiness on the Kempt style journal. The "Track Your Happiness" site was billed as an iPhone app (annoyance #1: WEBSITES ARE NOT APPS, an important distinction in The Land Of No Phone Reception) that helps you track your mood levels.

( Theoretically, this is a genius thing... )

I'm off for the afternoon, as it's my Friday to leave early, to drop some stuff in the mail and get a haircut and buy a shower curtain.

My life is all glamour, all the time! :D

I'm at R's place tonight for his birthday even though the party isn't for another two weeks, when he and the Ratpacker are having a proper blowout. My birthday gift to him is dinner, anything he wants, and he chose ravioli and chicken fingers. Because he is 29 on the outside but only nine in his brain.

He got his birthday phone call from his mum, who wished to remind him that she was in labour for forty nine hours with him.

"Jesus, no wonder she's crazy," I said. He said it's true she blames her insanity on him.

Well, he did set a lot of shit on fire as a kid.

He and my mother are arguing via my textmessages about whether or not there is a fake Vanna who sometimes subs in for the real one. She says there's an army of Vanna clones, he says that's like believing the moon landing was faked. Which did cause us to discuss starting a pool on who would replace Vanna White when she finally retires. My first thought was Paris Hilton. He suggested they might run a contest. Mum's lobbying for a male Vanna, a Vanno if you will, preferably shirtless.

This is all faintly disturbing on several levels. Which is why I'm going to concentrate on the impending ravioli.
