have i done some sort of momentously good deed recently and forgotten about it? did my inner girl scout bubble to the surface and prompt me to help old ladies across the street or produce delicious cookies for the whole family? i’m wondering, you see, how i can possibly be deserving of the boy who’s asleep at my house right now - after, might i add, spending most of the evening yesterday cleaning my apartment. it went something like this: jim: hun, where’s your broom?
me: my what?
jim: your broom. i want to clean for a while.
me: you want to what?

and so on. the end result being that my kitchen is damn near able to sustain human life at this point, as most of the atmospheric toxins appear to have been eliminated.

not only does he clean, though. nope. the wonders do not cease with that highly unlikely phenomenon: he’s also a geek. be still,l my heart. he flirts in regular expressions and carries a java book at all times, his eyes lit up the other day when i wore my [amazingly atrocious] globix shirt, and last night he brought his laptop to bed. do i even need to say it? i’m keeping him.

my boss comes back from vacation tomorrow: i arrived at the office and the dread was already palpable. you can sense the despair descending upon each employee as he or she realizes exactly how much work needs to get done today to make up for all the quake we played last week. it’s like we’ve all got the imperial march looping in the playlist of our collective subconscious.

we all know what i was doing yesterday, but here’s what spencer got up to: the page o’ linkage on caoine has been considerably spiffed up. what before was a mere list of entries, albeit a mighty damn attractive one, has now been broken up into sections by category. never again will you have to read about half a dozen fake hair sites to find that oed link i posted a month ago, all thanks to my other favorite geek. he’s also added a ‘posted by’ line, which i hope is indicative of his inclination to add more entries himself: you can check out his fresh-off-the-text-editor review of the new evils toy album under [appropriately enough] music. do you love php? i hope so, because php loves you.

ok. it’s just about time for me to pop another handful of penguin mints and get back to work. though ‘back to’ might not be the best choice of phrasing as it sort of implies that i’ve already been working.
