And suddenly it's dark when I come into the office this morning. The office itself is lit up like a torch, but it's completely dark -- middle of the night dark -- outside. Which is kind of a wierd feeling, since I already feel like I'm in a fishbowl. Now I'm glowing.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to spend money on getting my nails painted. I've been out of the salon for less than an hour and already three of my nails are futzed. One of them badly.
I'm not cut out for that sort of life, I don't think. I don't have a chauffeur who can drive me around or a maid who can zip up my pants for me. These are things that require unimpeded use of fingernails. Apparently. I had no idea until I tried to do them without fingernails.
In other news, waxing the armpits? Yes, painful.

I may have a part-time job that makes me cringe to think about, and be too tired to even eat at the end of the day, but hey, it could be worse. I could live in New Orleans.

In other news, fishy took me to see Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle yesterday. I can't get over how much I adore Miyazaki's work and view of the world. It's one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a while, and I've seen some pretty good films lately. It breaks my heart to know it's not going to be released on DVD until spring, but there we go.
It's ... not quite as good as Spirited Away, I guess, although it's hard to compare. Miyazaki does have a habit of making very memorable films with really trite, forgettable endings. Same with Howl, but that's all right. The beginning and middle bits are worth the rather abrupt, cliched ending.
So, there. Highly recommended. It was a good weekend.
