this day had all the attributes of a good one and i will remember it as such. because i spent money efficiently and yet with a blithe abandon that would stun the me who didn't have wads of cash a week ago. i bought badger balm, totally an impulse and nostalgia buy from the saratoga days (mad props yo! i link them here, i link them there, i something link them everywhere!) - but additionally a redemption move, an aliyah because it is tangerine breeze, the flavor i originally wanted on that hot july day. instead i had to settle for like mesa mint. which became nauseating and cloying and yuck, and finally oozed to a spin cycle death when i left it in a pocket. mmm tangereene ees good. and also an orange nalgene booteille, in the opportunity set was also a brita pitcher but i figured since my roomie already has one, i will just be a water mooch. diamond-water paradox be damned. (ooh it's raining rilly hard now how aproprospriate!) ems. yeah, it's that easy.

*hie time for pie time*

one other thing i was thinking about tonight, amidst the rain and crossword puzzles and management sculptures and frisbee running practices and oh gosh can i get any more listy? what people call me, viz whether they call me jo, or joanne, or you 'dere. my children will all have gloriously nicknamable names so they can slip and trip from one ego to the next.

"i'm not scared of you, management 100!" someone really needs to talk to me :^)
