So…What’s Up With You Guys?
Today was my first Monday at the new job. I had a nice day, actually, even though I sat and ate my sad little sandwich alone in my cube like Milton from Office Space. I won’t even get into the fact that I couldn’t figure out how to work my stapler. Later this week I hope to run out during lunch and achieve some holiday shopping. I did do some of that over the weekend — and bought this for a friend’s son. I cannot frakking wait to watch him running around the house with it on his head. I love being the auntie; I can buy the horrible noisy toys and then go home and sleep peacefully.
I also bought some new clothes (well, Mom bought most of them, really, GO MOM). I’m happy to say that I achieved a goal size in pants, finally. Of course I think these pants run big and they fit me a little bit snug, but they are the goal size and they fit and you can believe I own those bad boys right now! Even though I bought some jeans later that day one size larger, I still count it as a win.
Hope you all had a nice Monday. Tell me all about it, why don’t you.
Surprised Kitten
I’m really embarrassed at how much I’m enjoying this video, over and over. Not embarrassed enough to not tell you guys, though, I suppose.

After the jump, the reasons I’m completely bloated today.
I Am Gross
Many of you know that I kind of lust after the guy that plays Cappie on Greek. I just found out that Lea Thompson is going to play his mom on the show. Lea Thompson, Miss Amanda Jones, who is only seven years older than me, is going to play CAPPIE’S MOM. I feel dirty.
So This is What I Do Now

A lot of people ask me what I’ll be doing at my new job. I tell them I’ll be doing instructional design, along with some editing. Most people say, “And…erm, what is instructional design?” I turned to the Google to see if I could find a straightforward explanation. Why bother creating an explanation myself when someone else has already done so? (Rule #1 of my personal adult learning theory, btw.) Anyway, this is a great definition of instructional design. So now you know.
James Franco on General Hospital
I don’t watch General Hospital, but I am fascinated by James Franco’s choice to take a guest role on the show. I’d love to see more high-wattage guest stars on the stories. What fun they could have! Jezebel put together a highlight reel of his first appearance.
