The fire affects…

All in a Day's Work, The Day Events

me.

Not a lot. Just a little.

The sky was a lot better yesterday, but has gotten bad again today. That sun over here is red. That sounds like a line in a Japanese movie, but it’s true. It’s big and red. There is no blue sky, just grey haze, and it snows ash. The air has gotten stagnant (which is a good thing?), smoky, and feels heavy.

The only good thing about this, which I shouldn’t even say at this time, is that I got to finally use my face mask I got from Taiwan.

Peace!

These things a must have in Taiwan, and I use it a lot when mopeding. That’s mo-ped, not mopped…I did not mop floors in Taiwan. I could have gotten a Hello Kitty one…or a Doraemon one…or a cute flower one….a normal medical one (which I do have)but no. I got this. Ultraman. Because he’s awesome.

So I busted out my uber cool mask today right before my third school I go to, and the kids fauned over my mask, only to say

“wait…I don’t get it…what is it?”

Me: It’s….Ultraman…

Kids: ….oh….

-_______________-”

But they all said they wanted one anyway. This is the new burning fire fad! If I were insensitive or extremely smart (the line is so thin sometimes), I should have made hundreds of these babies in different styles and sell them around everywhere.

Let me tell you, using this gives me the same great feeling I get when I actually get to use an umbrella because it actually rained.

New Clothes

The Day Events

I was able to finally get new clothes today! Two shirts, same style different color, and nice khaki skinny pants. All from Old Navy so they were pretty cheap. The shirts are purple and grey. I’ve decided that purple is a good color for me. They are like button up henleys, but you can create different styles with the collar to make it look more corporate. I liked that so it won. I also got new PINK underwear at VS.

I dislike the word “panties”. I don’t like how it sounds. And when I hear people say it, it sounds like they’re making a point out of it. Great, it’s underwear, so what. Unless you’re trying to get a guy aroused by using the word somehow, I don’t want to hear it. I think it’s the “p” sound that I don’t like. It’s too harsh and poignant.

There are actually a lot of words that annoy me. My brother went through a phase when he said “diddley squat” a lot. Drove me absolutely nuts. Insane. That’s the only one I could think of off the top of my head.

It’s horrible. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I were there.

My thoughts are with those who have lost.

Shopping

The Day Events

I tried to find clothes more suitable for work but nothing screamed “me”. I’m not supposed to be all out business wear, but I don’t want to blend in with the students. Last week, at the high school, I was worried that I was going to be stopped for trying to get out of school or something. I wore my Audrey Hepburn black ankle slacks and a cream colored turtleneck (with a cute silver skull and crossbones on it) because that was the only suitable outfit I could find. I didn’t want to look toooo old (hence the skull and crossbones) but I didn’t want to look too young and comfortable (I didn’t wear jeans). It’s a really fine line and it’s difficult for me because I’m a very t-shirt and jeans girl. I like to be comfortable and I’m only comfortable wearing clothes that I like. So when I tried to shop today, if nothing really popped out at me, it was hard for me to want to buy and wear it. I also need new cute flats. The flats I’m wearing have worn down a little and have lost its spark. For reals. The sparkles on it are coming off.  I hate shopping when I actually have to find something.
