The game of life

Tonight was a great night. I got married, (to a guy fondly called "the hottest man on earth" - who can go wrong with that?), won $1.3 million dollars and hung out with some very cool people.
Overall, its been a pretty good day. Dragging myself out of bed this morning was unpleasant as usual (but i was only 1 min late for work... i think my butt is used riding furiously to work again on really bumpy SK roads..) and in the 10 mins i was awake and talking before i left for work, i managed to have a gynormous fight with my mom, which hasn't happened in ages (thank goodness!).

The day improved with getting a bunch done, and then going for lunch with Alexa at the Mendel. Really the main displays sucked, but it was fun to hang out with her and look at all the great artwork done by 8 year olds who could take me in any art competition. its really kinda sad, but i guess its good to know your limitations...

The evening got better with making up with my mom (not like that you sickos), and got even greater when Jill arrived to stay over... she's actually putting herself thru the whole torture of grad... can't say i'm sad to be missing that, the photo op in the studio proves to me that i wore a cap and gown, and the certificate on my wall will make me very happy. (esp in the free frame sponsored by evan ;) Although i'll have to find something good to do with my "indemnity diploma" yay, i get to be as south african as i like... (as if that ever stopped me before!) Evan's fake boyfriend value is definatly going up, but he may still have to work a little harder to get the fake break up status removed ;)

Since i feel like i started out well, here's my quote for the night from another fav book - Hitch Hiker's guide to the Galaxy... there may be lots of these quotes in the future, its so hard to choose!


He stood up straight and looked the world squarely in the fields and hills. To add weight to his words he stuck the rabbit bone in his hair. He spread his arms out wide. "I will go mad! he announced".
