so i have only worked at anthropology about a week and my wardrobe already shows it. yay! for discounts. at the same time boo! for discounts. i'm supposed to save....not spend. and if there is anything i have learned in life thus far, its that you can't do both simultanously. i don't know how to spell. i get it from my father.
i just now learned that a grouping of larks is called "an exhaltation of larks" and there is a "wedge of swans" and a "seige of herons." that is phenomonally interesting. i once saw this astounding book in a bookstore that was bascially just a list of names for groups of things. a pride of lions, a parliment of rooks and so on. i, for some reason, did not purchase it. i have probably talked about this book for over five years now---bemoaned the fact that i don't own it and having no way to look for it since i didn't know the title or the author. but i just found it on the inter-web. it is called "an exhaltation of larks" and it is by james lipton. i will purchase it very soon. i will keep you intrigued with names of groups of things. i wonder if there is a name for a group of fools. or a group of ketchup bottles. endless possiblities! boundless knowledge!
i would like to share with you all one very important piece of news. i am now the proud proud and pretty owner of a pink leotard, pink tights, and a pink tutu. this is all due to the sense of humour of one melissa mora. i laughed all day after receiving a package full o' pink in the mail. very very witty aunty m.
i work very long days (16 hrs) and am tired when i get home. but i make money. when i find out how to make money without working for it i will be the master of the universe i think. but i haven't time to put thought into becoming master...for i must work. they say money doesn't grow on trees but i don't know....i may stick a quarter in the soil just in case. and water it with my tears. that was dramatic.
i am counting down the days until turkey. and sweet potato...and pumpkin pie....and stuffing....mmmmm
