Hu. I still don't know what possessed me to agree to go to a ball (ball! I'm not a ball kind of person. I don't even dance - unless extremely drunk, and mostly not even then.) with some co-workers... (Most likely the conviction, tinged with not a little desperation, that I can't hide in my snail shell forever; that for the sake of my sanity I need to be a little more sociable occasionally.)

Spent € 100.- on an outfit (skirt and top) that is really quite perfect, and there's nothing that quite equals the relief and satisfaction of finding the item of clothing you desperately need in the first shop, the first thing you try on. So the skirt needs shortening a little, but otherwise... very nice indeed.

I still need a hair-cut, a hand bag & nail polish and some basic minimal make-up things... :: groans :: Better be worth it. This is so not my kind of thing...


In other news... :: sigh :: there are three mails from G. I still haven't looked at yet, but really I'm not in the mood for this kind of drama right now. I'm aware I was rude and acting out of rather petty jealousy, but I was (still am) in the process of deciding whether to pay for another semester's worth of self-delusion and mostly coming to the conclusion that it'd be a waste of money, and really, really not in the mood for proof-reading his manuscripts during the last days of my holiday.... Drama apparently ensues, but I refuse to be part of it... I don't need this in my life right now.

Randomly wondering at 1:45 am when I really should be sleeping, tomorrow being a work day and all... What's the big deal about Tool's 'Aenima'? I don't get it. I like 'Undertow' and absolutely adore 'Lateralus', but 'Aenima', this supposedly stroke-of-genius masterpiece? There are a couple of songs I rather like, but as a whole it just doesn't connect. To me it's trying too hard to be clever and artsy but only ending up being vaguely irritating. Were they aware that there would be German speaking people out there, who'd actually understand they lyrics of 'Die Eier von Satan'? And that's not even going into the image the song title evokes...
