Grabbed old undergrad psychology notebook to use for not taking for new job (it was the first one I could find).

As usual, it has some random things the professor said that I wrote down because they amused me.

Really wish I knew what “weapons of small destruction” was a reference to.

So in Night Shift Thoughts a night or so ago, I was thinking a little about Joss Wheedon’s exceedingly lackluster and sometimes downright wtf adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, and it turns out I was correct in one of my wondering: Joss did indeed genderswap a character JUST so he could have Don John explain his villainous thoughts/plans during sex.

1. I hate the trend in some Shakespeare productions of the recent past to have the Villainous Plan Monologues occur while characters are having clothes-mostly-on sex. I find it weird.

2. The scene in Much Ado was super off putting because a) pretty sure there was another character in the room and b) it’s really hard to forget that the flipped character was originally a dude and that Don John is played by an out gay man. But you totally can’t have two dudes bang if you’re Joss Whedon.

So awhile back there was a post that was basically like, “Hey, my Flannel Loving peeps on a budget, Walmart has good-looking flannel for $8!”

After staring longingly at said flannel at work for like…a month or so, I finally broke down and snagged a couple, since they are snazzy and dress at my new job is “smart casual.”

Let me sing you the praises of this Faded Glory flannel. Let me start by saying that I have (annoying) boobs that land somewhere between a 42 DD and a 42 DDD. I have Issues finding button up shirts that, ya know, actually button, no matter what clothing department I look in. I also have the type 1 diabetic version of a beer belly, which also complicates shirt-finding.

I started with the Large (42/44—this size in men’s wear generally works for me in t-shirts, boxer briefs, and stretchy pants…pants with no give are hit or miss).

I put it on, buttoned it up, and lo, it was as if the clouds parted and a choir of angels began singing. It fit perfectly. No boob gap, no belly gap, no too-wide shoulders, no too-long or too-wide sleeves (praise be unto two button sleeves). Perfect fit. That is so rare for me.

So yes, if you love flannel, the $8 Faded Glory flannels at Walmart are a pretty good bet. Also, they’d look damn good with ties, so bonus points for versatility.

Second tattoo acquired–and yes, tattoos that go over areas that are over bones = more ow. And kind of makes it feel like part of your skeleton is vibrating.

Tomorrow…well, today, actually, but tomorrow as reckoned by my night shift brain, I do testing/possible post-testing interview at potential new job.

Also I ordered one of these and am kind of excited.

To do on my next 3 days off:

– see if DVD drive cable is just loose or if the drive has kicked bucket

– either fix loose connection or acquire new drive (womp womp)

– take comp to Office Depot and have them install second hard drive and put Win 7 on hard drive; if need new DVD drive, have them install that too

– tattoo get!

– stuff
