Some people like to start the day with coffee. Today I decided to start the day by dumping boiling coffee on my hand in an attempt to not overflow the goddamn pot for our stupid stupid "coffeehouse" and I don't know how to work the thing and it's a terrible idea because the only people who use it are the people who already work here and ow it stings where the burning was. I hate this coffee plan.

Now if only I could have twisting horrible cramps, that would just make my day. Thanks for obliging, uterus! I hate you too.

In less augh hate news, Monday [livejournal.com profile] decken and I went to see "Quantum of Solace" at the Sundance theater, which had fancy food and also promised a "James Bond Martini," which I got despite not actually liking martinis. It was the novelty of the thing. So we ate sandwiches and drank drinks (mine tasted like a christmas tree so I didn't really consume much of it) and watched delicious Daniel Craig Bond who is delicious. QoS is no "Casino Royale," but what is? I will likely see it again to have deeper thoughts.

And next Friday is "Australia," about which I am stupidly excited.

Also I had my first "ohnoissomethingwrong?!?!?" with my new pigs because I'm paranoid, and housemate said that she was worried about me getting new creatures because I seemed to be doing fine without them and I would get all flustered about their health... housemate means well but clearly doesn't know how hard it's been without a fuzzy, and you know, I think they'll be okay. We're still getting used to each other, little girls and I.

Here they are, to bring happy thoughts of not scalding your skin with dumb ideas:



Note: You may think Olivia looks an awful lot like Oni, but she's mostly white on the other side, so it's different. Also she has one magical black foot. It matches Nicky's magic eye.

Hurray for cute pigs!

MY DAY BEGINS WITH A CUP OF COFFEE. THAT IS THE FIRST OF THE STIPULATIONS TO WHICH YOU MUST ADHERE. MY LEGEND BEGAN 1200 YEARS AGO!

Clearly you should be drinking hoji-cha instead. Can you tell I've been watching Soul Eater lately? :D

..actually, uh, I've never seen Soul Eater. So no, I couldn't tell. :p

Hey, if we had Hoji-cha, I'd drink it. Too bad we only have stupid stupid giant coffee pot mcbadidea.

Excalibur is a very....interesting incarnate sword-spirit. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kc66u_h6ow) He routinely drives off those who quest for him by being so loud and random and resistant to shutting up.

Ever had a hoji-cha latte? They're delicious. ♥

They don't have fancy drinks like that in my area, apparently. It's traumatic enough every time I try to order a tea latter at my usual coffee shop. :F

But wow does that sound good right now.. I'm cold.

Halloween piggies!

I meant to leave a comment on your last post (or maybe it was two posts ago? Gah... school is eating my brain) but I love hearing about people's pets. It always brightens my day.

I'm glad to hear that. I worry about boring people, but then I worry about that all the time in general.

They're my special new girls, so I want to talk about them a lot. :)

Yep, that sounds like the official martini alright. A friend made one/them at a New Year's party after Casino Royale was released, and that was the general reaction in both taste and desire to consume them. It's the juniper in the gin that does it.

Can her magical black foot only step on ghosts!?

If she can she needs to join Ghost Hunters.

Pouring boiling hot coffee on yourself is never a good way to start the day...or a good addition to the day. I did that more than a few times at Ancora, but I also worked at a real coffeeshop. Your manager/owner person is weird.

Also, Laura does mean well. But I know what you mean in that it's hard not having a loving critter in your life when you've had one as a staple for so long. You can always tell her you need a fashion show to throw her off that topic
