L'Heure Verte . . .

Gish gets a job waitressing at an absinthe bar.

Coincidentally, the bottle of La Fée Verte that I ordered from BPAL came today, yays!

Since Sarah is too damn lazy to lj, I'm going to quote her on mine,

"The crazy are quick when they're crazy. And when they're not being crazy...real fucking slow."

Pearls of wisdom, dude.

On a related note, one of my coworkers once told me about how she used to work at a home for the violently mentally handicapped and apparently, they really dig Pink Floyd. She couldn't explain why exactly, but she said they quieted down whenever she put on some Floyd

So those are two proven ways to deal with crazy people: wait till they're slow or put on Dark Side of the Moon.

books!

Here's a picture of my latest finished cross stitch piece. . .



It's a design by Little House Needleworks called "The Bookshelf". (Sorry about the dimness and camera glare. It was hard to get a good shot of it.) It took about 2 months(? or so) to do. I'm relatively pleased with how it came out. The bottom right corner was supposed to be Wuthering Heights, but I switched it to Jane Eyre and the house became Thornfield Hall instead. I had to take out the trees to make room for the flames, but I let the unconcerned sheep graze where it was. It's probably thinking, "Ah, let the fucker burn. Mmm, grass."

In other news, work continues to kill my soul. If it weren't for the customers, it would otherwise be a great job. With this job, I went from face-to-face customer service to not having to look at them (since it's over the phone.) Now if I could just move to not having to hear their actual voices, I think I'd be okay.

The season (series?) finale of Arrested Development was on tonight. *sigh* I'm going to miss that show. So, so funny. I made my mom watch it and in the course of an hour, she went from, "This is stupid" to "Why the hell are they cancelling this?" See? See? Stupid Fox tv, you ruin all good things. They showed some previews for their new comedy shows and they looked shitty. You couldn't leave a perfectly good schedule alone, could you, Fox? Damn your eyes.
