deprivation, visitation, intellectualization (a.k.a. random stuff that's on my mind)

tomorrow the power gets turned off in my building from 10 am to 2 pm, thus cutting off my oxygen (a.k.a. the internet) and preventing me from purging myself of all thoughts and feelings in my traditional ways (a.k.a. blogging &/or e-mail). needless to say, i'm not looking forward to this....

on a brighter note, however, i did manage to get to target today with my friend shona from h.s.. we had a blast looking through all the girlie stuff (nail polishes, shimmery eye shadows, hair care products, etc.) and i got new toothbrush heads and a printer cartridge, both of which were total (albeit expensive) necessities. so, with those 2 items, plus a few other much-neededs, i managed to barely escape target with just over 100 bucks out of pocket. ouch! it's not as though i can really afford that, but what are you gonna do?

anyway, i must give serious thanks to a certain person in canada, the illustrious michelle. she sent me, via snail mail, a very fabulous, colorful, personalized, handmade valentine that arrived sometime last week. i have tried to scan it in, but considering the fact that i don't own a flat bed, it's a no-go. major bums, because it was quite lovely and i would have adored showing it off to the world. either way, thank you so much, michelle.....you ROCK!

i'm starting a new book tomorrow during the power outage, although i'm not sure which one as of yet.

and in conclusion, may i just say that all food was a serious let-down after yesterday's gourmet extravaganza?!

thank you for your interest in today's dose of non-sequiturs. here's hoping your week begins well....
