Pieces of Random

• My co-workers have been noticing my hyperactive good mood of late. Trader Joe's Queen Monitor wanted some of my hyperactivity. I gave her chocolate-covered espresso beans.


• I am still not sure where my faux amber "pager" ring went to. I suspect the couch cushions near my bed have something to do with it, though I know I shouldn't put that back on for at least another day.


• I now have my work schedule for the next week. I am to hope that the oversight of me not being on the e-mail list to get same schedule has been corrected. I am a phone goon all this week, yay me.


• Figment thinks that laser tag would be a great "getting to know you" activity to share with Darkside. Hmm.


• Diane Duane's X-Com: UFO Defense is a very forgettable game tie-in novel, without much in the way of greatly redeeming literary value or tie-in to the rest of her universes, except perhaps for something that might be kidnapped Hortas. I own it because I saw it at Bookman's, and I am a completest, and she is a buy-on-sight author for me.


• My plain star ring likes Figment's finger very much, and did not want to come off.


• Kitchen cabinets still MIA. (Missing In Action, not Mia, shywickedpixie's far-too-cute kitten.)


• Decent plain white lined three-hole-punched college-rule binder filler paper is so much better than the really cheap stuff. I shall be avoiding the dirt-cheap stuff from now on, because the difference between smooth paper and evil grainy shreddy paper is so vast.


• Cheap Chocolate Day has been duly celebrated. I don't tend to observe Easter, but I do observe Cheap Chocolate Day.


• I loathe fruit flies.

Have found ring. Ring is on computer desk, not on finger, now. Not going to put it on until well after I wake up.

I loathe fruit flies.

*shock* I am aghast to find such horrible unthinking prejudice!!! *more shock*

Just kidding! I studied germline stem cell maintenance in Drosphila melanogaster (aka fruit flies) for my very long Ph.D. (took me a bit over 7 years to finally finish). I love and miss my flies!!! :-)

But really, if they're hanging around outside where they should be?

Complete and utter pests!!! Kill the fruit flies!!

They like to hang out free-range in my apartment. I have resorted to adhesive fly strips, which seem to be catching larger prey as well.
