Assorted miscellania

*I'm a Pisces and I've never walked on the beach. I must rectify this someday...

*The Private Life of Genghis Khan
I read this story some time ago and got a kick out of it. It's funny as only the inimitable Douglas Adams can be, and I recommend it for anyone who has a few minutes to spare. ^_^

*Every afternoon for the past four days I've woken up to the news that my car will be fixed "tomorrow," and today was just the same. This is mildly frustrating, but I'm hoping that it's actually true, this time... I have errands I need to run, and gifts I need to buy!

*I also recieved some news, today, that I will be recieving a minor windfall which will allow me to go on a $500 shopping spree and still have well over half left over to squirrel away in my savings account. So, I'm thinking of getting a proper custom corset. The issue being, do I go all out and get this incredibly cool one in black leather from Starkers, or do I get this much cheaper one in PVC from Pink Label and spring for the extra boning, thus allowing myself plenty of cash left over to possibly also order something from Gypsy Moon, since I've lusted afer their clothing for years. On the other hand, I could save even more money and just get some nice fabric to make my own pretty skirts and things... :-| Which, on top of giving me creative things to do at work, would then give me money left over to spend on used books and movies from the Amazon marketplace.... Decisions, decisions; quality or quantity...?

*I've been having odd little random episodes, lately, that aren't quite headaches so much as there's a pulsing sort of pressure occasionally accompanied by my vision going a tad wonky. They never last more than half a minute or so, but it's been going on long enough that I'm beginning to think maybe I ought to see a doctor or somesuch...
