That is the Vea next to my hand. It's a little bigger than I thought.
I can also show you the coolest science discovery in months: THIS ADORABLE BAT.

And now as promised: Corgi Stampede.
RELEASE THE HOUNDS! <3
Just a bit of nerdiness on my part. I caved to the hype and downloaded Instagram onto my phone. I wish it didn't take up so much space but unlike competitors, no harassing ads.
The box underneath the pretty chest is fountain/dip pen supplies: a lot of ink and nibs and holders.
The pretty chest on top is ALSO supplies: high-grade paper, cleaning solutions, poor-man's blotting paper (i.e., Kleenex), high-grade lined notebooks.
I tried using this kind of ink on a low-grade, school- quality paper and the results were not pretty. The surface of the paper was very coarse—every few words I had to tweeze bits of paper fibers out of the nib; there was ink bleed, rendering the letters all smooshy; and the paper itself made the high-grade acrylic ink look more like magic marker.
OK, I'm done being nerdy for now.

I got home today at about a quarter to five. I’m going to be taking a nap right after this goes up.
The blergh: the persistent migraines. I’m taking my meds like I should but the headaches keep flaring up. I’m thinking it’s a combination of blood sugar and blood pressure. So I’m going to make sure that I don’t skip meals, and make sure that I don’t let people SHOVE ME AROUND! like I have been lately. Do not need. Do not want.
This day will be spent trying to recover from being up too damned late last night. I blame a ridiculous amount of iced coffee and a ludicrous running gag involving *clears throat* *uses a bizarre accent* saltwater taffy.
…THIS IS WHY I SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED NEAR A COMPUTER, WORD PROCESSOR, PHONE, VIDEOPHONE, OR ANY SORT OF METHOD OF COMMUNICATION WHEN I AM SLEEP-DEPRIVED. @#$% gets stoopid, yo.
I’m currently looking for shiny things to get the BF. I kinda had a crisis when his birthday rolled around (Thank you, housing department. YOU SUCK) and my money was eaten by emergency cleaning supplies. I’ve got two things in definite mind, but I won’t mention them here. He might be reading. There will be a number of them, and thanks to my extensive knowledge of eBay-Fu, it shouldn’t break the bank even though it’s the slow season.
And I’m not f-locking just because I want him to go “HUH? WHAT IS IT!?!?ONEeleventy.” Hey, I can be awesome with the grabbing of shiny things for other people. As far as things go I’ve basically finished buying shiny things for myself for the year. The next big purchase I’m making for myself is going to be tickets to the Distant Worlds concert. …I don’t know if I’m going to both shows. If I were to do that I would have to pull wicked hours, do wicked cheap fooding, stop buying so much soda—
OH WAIT.
Here comes the win.
A long day at work, and a wicked case of weather—these two things conspire together to keep me from getting where I'm going.
Luckily I am not so easily thwarted. Though easily half my money be already spent, I do have something to show for it.
Well, aside from the mental image of Kuja having a Marilyn moment in the wind, dandy skirt a-fly.
