Girls Day Out

Wow...talk about shopping till we dropped. Wife and I hit the mall today, and we hit hard:) Luckily, most of the damage was done at H & M, so money-wise, it actually wasn't too bad. We both got a ton of cute stuff for school and though much of mine was still black-based, they're "grown-up" clothes. I think my mom was happy I didn't come home with another pair of cargo pants and a band t-shirt:) Seriously though, I know when and how to dress appropriately! However, I am a little sad that I'll have to semi-retire the black nailpolish...that isn't very professional, is it?? Bright red is going to have to do as a replacement for the time being. That should be the biggest of my worries, right?

As if I didn't spend enough money at the mall today, I also ordered this super cool necklace from Leviticus Jewelry. They have all sorts of sweet stuff, you should definitely check it out! Now I'm trying to convince myself that I do not need a new pair of custom Etnies. I do not need them, I do not need them, I do not need them...aargh...must...not...cave...

That being said, I will not need to buy any CDs in the near future because I have no less than SIXTEEN albums to review for Revolt and Static in the next few weeks. I'm slightly freaked out...I knew I'd be getting a couple extra from my editor at Revolt, but I wasn't expecting four extra from my editor at Static too. Yikes! I think I am going to be very, very busy.

Off to Canadia (yes, CanadIA) tomorrow for the Stratford Festival. I'm psyched. I love Stratford to no end and I can't wait to see Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night. I think Twelfth Night is one of my all time favorites, this will be the third time I've seen it (I saw it a few years ago at Stratford in Canada and I saw it last summer in England with the Royal Shakespeare Company). I can't wait!

Next week I've got to get my classroom together and figure out what the hell I'm doing. It's exciting though, I signed my contract yesterday and all the people I ran into at school seem very excited that I was the one that got the job. It's so nice that people are happy I'm going to be there, but it's also a lot to live up to. I hope I can do it!

Peace out starving nachos:)
