My new glasses came in! Yay!! My Mom has always beaten into me that I should go with fine, thin frames so that they don't take sit like giant clunky things on my face. I've been wearing glasses since I was in 1st grade, so this means I have LOTS of pairs of glasses with thin frames, half-frames, and light neutral colors. This time, I went chunkier in a deep burgandy color and I am kind of digging them.

Old Glasses:



New Glasses (ignore the frazzled, dumpy look, please...I woke up late this morning, it's dress-down day at work, I have zero meetings, and am in fact the only person sitting in my suite right now, so I didn't spend much time styling or putting on make-up this morning...haha):



Anyone else like Futurama? Is it just me or have they actually gotten funnier in the recent seasons than they used to be? At one point last night I was laughing so hard I might have snorted...which doesn't happen all that often. Also - I love Shark Week. I have been watching a lot of shows this season where people are getting eaten. I'm not sure if that's just the "theme" for this year or if they've run out of scientific sharky facts to share, but I'm starting to feel wary about swimming in the ocean. Eek!

Lots of bitching about roommate frustrations, again:

I have two broken toilets in my house right now. The toilet itself functions just fine, but one toilet seat is literally cracked in half and the other toilet seat has snapped the anchor in back and slides all over the place. (Luckily MY bathroom is fine...the broken ones are downstairs and in my roommate's bathroom...). I called maintanence over one day to fix them. They turned around and left without fixing a damn thing because my roommate hadn't put the dogs up before he left for the day.

So, I stomped out to Target, bought a couple toilet seats, came home, and asked my roommate to put them on. (The nuts on the anchor pieces were so tight I couldn't budge them - the job requires someone stronger than me). This was a month ago. I have been the only one doing anything around the house for the past couple months. I do the dishes, I vacuum, I scrub the toilets, I take the trash out, I take care of the dogs (only one of them is MINE)...the list goes on and on.

He claims he's too busy with school (he's in class 16 hours a week) and work (he works around no more than 25 hours a week). I worked a 40+ hour a week job, was in class for 16-20 hours each quarter for the past four years, and STILL managed to do stuff around the house. There are 168 hours in a week. I see plenty of time available there to do the ONE thing I need help with. He said he'd put them on today since he doesn't work until 5pm and he doesn't have class today. We'll see if that actually happens or if I go home to two still-broken toilets. I'm betting on two still-broken toilets.

*le sigh*



All of my pets have some really strange habits and they make me laugh like a fool at least once a day. I spend a lot of time at home and would be totally bored if they weren't around to amuse me. They do crazy things sometimes...like sleeping in/on dishes and squishing themselves into the smallest spaces possible...
