"men are a little bit more important than handbags but less important than shoes"

How to Dress Like the Perfect Couple by Ashton Kutcher.

At any rate, [men] are merely accessories.

Mmm, arm candy.

We don't know what we don't know

In a design meeting of some of the smartest engineers in my company: "We don't know what we don't know." See blog from yesterday.

Beauty and the Geek

My favorite quote from Beauty and the Geek 2: "I know nothing about anything." I like how "MIT Graduate" is a type of geek. And, this show really makes me want to be a Dungeon Master... kool. :)

"You are one of my doubts."

"You are one of my doubts." ... quote of the week (maybe year?!) that someone said to me... It was a compliment, go figure.

"I'm too young to date younger guys."

"Men are really quite simple--they're like plants."

Oh, also been watching a lot of Sex and the City... one of my favorite quotes so far: "Men are really quite simple--they're like plants."

And just on the side... "Why spend money on therapy when you can spend it on shoes?" Don't worry, I don't need therapy (I know I'm a princess already.) Seriously considering changing my business cards from "Software Engineer" to "Software Princess."

"I'll read your blog, if you'll read mine"

Been helping Schlumpfie set up his website (router, blog tool, etc.), and I think he wants some advertisement, so you can hit his page, but after his domain name registration goes through, here. He seems to think that his website is more exciting than cream of wheat, but may I reiterate again that it only takes three tablespoons of cream of wheat to make a whole cup? Do people not understand the significance? :) Anyways, we made this pact of "I'll read your blog, if you'll read mine," which is pretty cool... since his blogs are usually shorter--and not everyday, so, looks like I got the better deal. :)

Hmm, trip to Amsterdam. I'm waiting for the value of the US dollar to go up before ordering any currency. Besides that, I am looking for the perfect raincoat--something with a hood, that looks nice so it can be dressy or casual, lined so it is warm, and at least falls to the knee for me. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS TO FIND? :p I think I have a backup one at Gap, if I can't find anything else. There is a cute down one at Eddie Bauer, but that can't be dressy, hmm? And, it might be too warm for late October in Amsterdam. And of course, clothes! That is going to be the hardest part... my trip is eight days, which is a pretty long time. Are eight bottoms and eight tops going to be enough? too much? And then, what about accessories? One purse? two? I'm already going to have three pairs of shoes. Maybe I should take a practice run at packing, to see what amounts to a half of a suitcase. Yes! that sounds like a plan.

Folding clothes

So, can arms be sore from folding too many clothes? Well, mine are. :) Hehe, my coworkers don't think I'm going to last until the end of the year... End of the year? I say a month--tops. Enough to get my clothes at a discount and then get outta there.

Funny saying of the day: "Upsidedown thumbs-up... I guess that would be a thumbs-down." Hehe, okay, well, I thought it was funny. :)

Candy is going to be going on a little retreat to NH on Friday... Friends are coming over for dinner Friday night. Then, I am "on-call" on Saturday night, which probably means they will use me--but, I certainly hope not, since I need a break.

Hope there's some interesting (and not too annoying) things going on at work today.
