Faux-late-night thoughts

Yes, 10:47 qualifies as the middle of the night around here. GP is snoring away, earplugs crammed firmly into his ears, able to block out the sounds (and, yes, smells-- they smoke) of our neighbors...while I am not. I had in mind a list, but that dissolved when I began to write what I could remember of it. So, rather than anything coherent, I give you the following.
  • Kevin Smith should stop "acting" and stick to writing. One thing at a time, sir.
  • I think Jennifer Garner and I should be friends. I have thought this since I read that she has a yellow lab named Martha Stewart.
  • That's enough, Juliette Lewis.
  • I know I am not ready for kids because when I see pictures of the children and dogs of high school friends on Facebook, I am way more excited about the dogs.
  • Kate Spade shipping > Amazon shipping. Witness: yesterday, I bought all of my books for this semester (which, ok, started yesterday) from Amazon, and they have yet to ship...and I just got an email from the Kate Spade website saying my (on super-sale!) passport case and wallet have shipped! Too bad I cannot post on my class discussion boards about newly-acquired leather goods.
  • How is it possible to dislike actual birds so much and still really like them as a design element (jewelry and t-shirt motifs, for instance)? I don't know, but I can tell you that it is.
  • I am always, always signed out of chat when I am signed in to Facebook. I am definitely past the point where I am ok with random IMs. Mostly, this is because I am a jerk, but it is also partly because I never feel like I can commit to a conversation with about 80% of my Facebook friends (who I just know are yearning to talk to me).
  • "Is there anything sadder than homeless robots at Xmas? Only drowning puppies, and there would have to be a lot of them."
  • There is a Love List in the works, but who can say when that will be done.

I hate live birds, but I love pictures of them. Or prints on bedding from Anthropologie which is too expensive for me to buy but oh how I want it!

I just turned off my Facebook IM. My aunts were starting to use it as a way to communicate, and one of them felt the need to call me and check if everything was ok because she IMd me twice and I signed off after she did. I had to explain that sometimes a person can sign off right when you're IMing them, and therefore don't see it. Better to have it turned off than deal with crazy Facebook addicted relatives.
