1. I found this fantastic list of synonyms for “said” the other day. It is now in my bookmark hall of fame.
2. I took my dogs to doggy daycare yesterday; they also got a bath, because we’re lazy and bathing ourselves and a tiny human on a consistent basis is just about all the bathing we can handle. Anyway, the dogs smell delicious after they get baths there, so I asked the woman who checked me out which shampoo they use. It turns out that their shampoo has almost no odor at all; however, the doggy cologne they use at the end of every grooming session has a delightful scent. But yeah, I’m not spending $10 on cologne for my dogs. Sorry pups.
3. I know that I am in a super minority on this, but I thought that Diablo Cody’s movie Jennifer’s Body was genius. A horror movie about a toxic friend who becomes a literal demon?! C’mon! Gold, baby, gold! Because I hold her writing in such high regard, I really want to see Young Adult now. I have a fascination with stories about mentally ill people who are so deep in denial that they can’t see how cray-cray they are, and I always love a good tale of misplaced obsession. But I probably won’t actually see it until it’s on DVD, because getting out to the movie theater is pretty rare these days.
4. The weather here is so. effing. warm. right now. I don’t expect to get white Christmases in Atlanta, but I don’t think it’s irrational to expect some chilly weather in the run-up to the big day. Looks like we’ll be in the 60′s for all of next week. Blah.
5. Counting today, I only have 4 more days of work until we’re off for the holidays. We don’t go back until January 3rd. Wheee! I can’t wait for lots of family and writing time!
