An update on this entry, about the protractor and aliens with atomic bombs. I bought myself a little kit with a protractor in it just because I was sad when I realized I didn't think I had one anymore.

The kit's purple, it makes me smile, and I will likely start doing silly things with it in the name of art creation when I get some inspiration.

So, when I popped onto my computer after getting home from work today, I found a delightful link from teferi waiting for me in pidgin. "http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=15247386 I saw this and thought of you" it said. I am lusting for these shiny earrings now. *sigh*

Also, Thin Lizzy is much awesomeness. Very shiny, their songs make me grin. Like Cowboy Song, I'm not entirely sure what it is that makes me like it so much, I just know that I do.

So, I'm nearing the end of Anathem, and the more I read, the weirder it gets. I thought Neal Stephenson was whacked before, which is part of the reason he's one of my three favorite authors, but dude is going into really whacked territory with this one. It might require a second read of the book to properly parse, but the more I read, the more I like. I am especially digging the monks without all the religious baggage attached. Also, the vocab even stays crunchy in milk, and will give me something to chew on a while to come, as I decide what I can fold into my day to day use.

In the settings for the bluetooth on my phone, there's an option to name my phone. Previously it was the purple penguin. Now it's DeathKitten's Jeejah.

I am entirely too easily amused, entirely too obsessive of a fangirl, but that's okay. ^_^

"Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs," I said. "We have a protractor."
