This & that

It's a sad day for science fiction, y'all: Arthur C. Clarke has died.

I have a raging girlcrush right now on Elastic Waist. Sadly, I'm going to have to unsubscribe from the feed, because I think it's largely responsible for the productivity sinkhole I've fallen into this week.

I just found out there's a Japanese hot pot restaurant right here in Tulsa. We have to go there as soon as possible. Yes, HAVE to.

Speaking of Japanophilia, I've become addicted to Perfume. Thanks, Doug!

I really want a "day of beauty" for my birthday. Well, a day of budget beauty. Which pretty much means getting my hair trimmed into a decent shape, enjoying half an hour in a pedicure chair, and fifty dollars with which to go nuts at DejaVu. Such a day would be lovely. Such a day will probably not happen.
