Emperor, Empress, and ant*

ginny_tWow, day, good work!
So, the Emperor and Empress of Japan are visiting, and they visited. No, seriously--they visited the LG and the Speaker (and that D-something-or-other guy). So, of course I was totally out in the yummy sunny day to watch them arrive. A motorcade! A real, live motorcade! We were pretty far, and ohmy security!, so all I really saw was a tidy Japanese couple (and the hat! *_*). Still, nifty!
On the other hand, 15 minutes into writing my final exam this evening (kilt it! I kilt it ded!), a single small brown ant landed on my paper. I kind of shrieked. Fortunately, as I was writing the exam with fountain pens (as one does), I had a napkin handy (as one does). Then I freaked out about where it came from. Dear Labyrinth: Okay, yes, I neglected you for a good two years, and after we'd had such a dedicated summer romance, but was it really necessary to drop an ant in my hair when I visited you? *cries* Also, out of two exams in this course, I had two concentration-shattering incidents (the other of a girl-related nature *twitch*). What the spork?
In other news, operation: get your shit together, you lazy git! has begun. I took major steps yesterday and… wait for it… bought groceries. Yes, Ginlandia's cupboards were in a shameful state (especially for someone with a year of cooking school under her belt--how the mighty have fallen). They are somewhat improved. This is good. Now I just have to keep them that way.
I guess I could say o:gyst started on Sunday when I finally got around to dyeing that bunch of silk. Y'know, the silk I've had for four years now. Using the dye I bought at least two years ago. Lalala!
You see how necessary it is for me to get my shit together.
In strange news, I stuck around for a few minutes after quitting time today because I got into a conversation with mini-boss(male) about Tennant vs. Eccleston. (For the record, my doctor of choice is Eccleston. It's just a shame he never met Martha. *_*) Earlier discussion touched on Tanya Huff's Blood and Smoke books (I might've mentioned the hawtness of Henry Fitzroy *fans self*) and just how much of Buffy is worth watching. I love my job! *tears up*
*Doesn't that sound like a great title? Whoever writes me a story with that title will get a cookie. Maybe even a real one. ^_^ "Empress, Emperor, and ant" would also qualify. :-p
