Wildebeest!

At work again, the pleasantly slow Saturday shift. None of my favorite patrons have come in today, but the Movie Glutton came in already. The Movie Glutton is a grad student, with grad student library privileges and that means unlimited movies with no late fees. She wears a scarf on her head not like a normal person in the hijab style but tied jauntily like a pirate. All of which is unremarkable except for the fact that she checks out approximately 50 movies at a time, and it takes a while to unlock all the cases and desensitize them and make sure all the correct dvds are in said cases and then to scan them all. Maja and I usually tag-team it, but it still takes a while. Also, she does this every Saturday. No one can watch that many movies in a week.

Needless complaining, though. I am in a rather good mood because last night Mathew gave me a very lovely peacock pearl choker. (Pearl necklace choker, which is not the usual definition, but just means sitting right at the base of the neck). It's around the time of our second anniversary, and pearls are my favorite. I'm really quite pleased, and of course told him this. I now have a nice basic white choker, and a secondary black choker, so that's a good start to a pearl collection.
