I went out to Tarzhey today to buy some dress pants for tomorrow, since it is the Boychild's adoption finalization thingie thing at court and one must look presentable. (After court tomorrow, in the evening, is Jo-chan's play. Then Saturday a party at Tim and Chrissie's!) That means no novelty Chinese dragon pants or horizontally striped sweaters with matching socks, more's the pity. It was a lovely, rainy day, just as fine as the Leto brothers in eyeliner, and pleasant to be outdoors. I stopped at the pet store where I bought some worms for Dana and chatted the two cute boys there, who are always so nice to me. Also, I picked up the new Stephen King. YAY.
Upon my return I went to this awesome website and got an incredible red Chinese satin shirt, gold phoenix Chinese gown with long sleeves, and a long black Chinese jacket with a mandarin collar for about the price of a week's groceries (sixty bucks) from a company that does not use sweat shops, and the shipping is free. It is my goal to look as much like an assassin as possible at all times. Except for the days when I'm at home wearing slipper socks and fuzzy striped sweaters over knit sweat pants.
ETA: I just looked at the name of the person who wrote me back to assure me that they are fair trade and no sweat shops. The person's name is Swallow Wang. I kid you not.
As I was placing my order, the phone rang. It was my town's community center. The lady said she had gotten my name (the wrong name; she kept calling me Jill,) from someone whose name I didn't catch, but I didn't care. They are offering me a job teaching Hula for about twenty bucks an hour (which sounds like a lot, but really it's just a one hour class, so!) starting in March. They can work around my college schedule and if it ends up being a success, then they'll ask me to continue and maybe even work as a town employee which would make all of the benefits available to me. Which would be so awesome! I said yes right away!
Then I was so happy that I ordered a scent from BPAL, "Winter Of Our Discontent."
New college, new Kung Fu school, new job, everything feels so exciting right now. ^_^
