☁ Random: I've been seeing a lot of selling posts recently, or is that just me? *headtilts* Must be a spring cleaning thing.
☁ .....how did I not know that Gravitation has a sequel? It's Gravitation Ex, apparently. Definitely something to read at some point. Of course, I should probably finish the original manga first.... I purchased the first volume AGES ago and that's as far as I've gotten. <_<
☁ So I purchased the previously mentioned fish oil and vitamin D the other day. Now... I've been sleeping through my alarm for weeks, though somehow always managed to get up by 2:30 anyway so I didn't sleep through work or anything. I have no idea how I pulled that one off. Anyway, my point is... I actually woke up at 1:30 yesterday- I even heard the alarm before that, but I kept hitting the snooze button. XD I don't know if it was a random thing or if SOMETHING I'm taking is having some kind of an effect or what, but... progress, right? :D And it's only been a few days! I don't even care if it's related, I'll take it. :D :D :D
On the other hand, I've been having a lot of headaches recently. I don't know if that's related to something or not. Especially since that tends to happen to me every once in a while. I'll keep an eye on things, I guess.
☁ Yet another "Do I have a rainbow on my forehead?" moment on Sunday. As I've said before, I'm more or less out at work- I don't announce it, but I don't hide it, either. Except that the front store and the Pharmacy don't actually interact, so I don't really deal with them at all. Anyway. Mary and I were talking, and Jackie, one of the Pharmacy people, came up and was inserting her own opinion into the conversation. Mary proceeded to out me (By the way, I'm not upset- as I said, I'm pretty out anyway. It's not a big deal, it was a casual thing and Mary honestly didn't think anything of it. It was a tense for a minute there... there's always that moment when someone first finds out and you freak internally because some people are assholes and you don't know how they're going to react, but it was fine.)... and Jackie DIDN'T EVEN BLINK. Like, wtf. On the upside, she didn't seem to care. But seriously. I'M NOT THAT GAY. *laughter in the background* Erm. <_< Nevermind that one time I took one of those "how gay are you" tests, I got a 95%, and my friend Paul proceeded to laugh his ass off about it. XDDD (I just took it again out of curiosity and got an 88%. Strange.)
☁ I saw a book whose reader summary interested me, but it was very vague and I needed more information. Apparently, there is controversy surrounding this book, which doesn't surprise me considering the subject matter (the Holocaust, for the curious). What does surprise me, and what bothers the living hell out of me, is the fact that one critic implied that there was no way a 9 year old child wouldn't know what was going on, even though he couldn't see anything due to the high fences, because of the smell of death. Really? A 9 year old boy is supposed to know what death smells like? That's not something that's innate. You LEARN that. Just... there really are no words for that. Clearly this man is expecting too much of a small child. A fictional small child at that. I understand that there may well be factual inaccuracies in the book, especially since I haven't read it myself, but you also have to consider that this is FICTION. Historical fiction, but fiction nonetheless, and I'm sure the author took a few liberties here and there. I don't know if it's something I want to read, I already have two books that I can't seem to finish because of difficult subject matter. Not that they're not good, because they are, just... it totally breaks my heart to read, and I know they're going to leave me in pieces in the end. This is probably going to be one of those.
☁ I'm not the biggest tomato fan. They're good on sandwiches and salads and things, but it's not something I like a lot of or would eat by itself- I'm not that fond of tomato sauce either, and I HATE ketchup with a passion. I was getting some salad stuff at the store today (mmmm, salad) and picked up one of those small cartons of grape tomatoes. They're "extra sweet" or something and bigger than I'm used to seeing grape tomatoes being. I tried one when I got home- holy crap, you guys, these things are fucking GOOD. I was eating them like chips before I realized that I had to stop before I ate the whole container in one go. O_o So there's about half left I think. Whoops. On the other hand, better tomato than say, actual chips, heh.
