I'm not convinced I know how to read, I've just memorized a lot of words.
My manager has been on vacation this last week, and today is my last day of freedom. :-( It's sad, but it's been nearly as relaxing this week not having him around as it is to actually BE on vacation.
I have discovered the joys of the cheese/curated meats section at Whole Foods. Mmmm. But good lord, I'm going to end up spending my life's savings there. But the Prosciutto de Parma is just AMAZING. And today I spent $43 on a hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano. >< How wrong is that... I was reading my Marcella Hazan cookbook and I wanted to make pasta tonight (with the aforementioned prosciutto), and she has a whole section about Parmigiano-Reggiano and how you should always get it cut straight from the wheel if you can, as long as it doesn't look dried out on the edge (and if you can find such a specimen, to buy extra, and she tells you how to store it). They had a bunch of little pre-cut wedges, which the cheese person was like, I only cut those like two days ago. I asked if they could cut a wedge from the wheel, as I wanted something bigger (and cut from the wheel). It was this big production and I felt kinda bad, so I bought an extra-large wedge (over 2 lbs). Now I have to guard it with my very life. :P
I got myself a really pretty toe ring.
It's weird but I use to have a very plain toe ring that I wore every day and totally got used to having it on. I lost it at some point, can't even remember how now, but for years I still the "phantom" of it; I'd try to wiggle it around with my other toes like I used to. I don't know why it took me so long to get around to getting another one!
I'm watching a Korean drama called "The Master's Sun," recced by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
akscully. It's about a girl who can see ghosts, and whose life has basically been ruined by them, because they won't leave her alone (they're constantly asking her to do favors for them). She used to be really popular, pretty, ambitious, smart, etc., and now she's a shell of her former self. She meets a guy (a rich CEO type, of course) who has a past himself, and for some reason, when she touches him, the ghosts disappear. So they strike a deal in which he'll allow her to touch him sometimes if she'll help him track down the person who kidnapped him in his youth (the guy who plays the younger version of the lead guy is a total cutie -- he has dimples like Kim Bum!) so he can recover the ransom that was paid. I'm enjoying it so far, though I don't really "feel" for this couple so far. Partly it might be that I don't find the hero attractive. He has like... deep-set, "bruised"-looking eyes (I don't really know how to describe it) that I don't like. Jamie Campbell-Bower has similar eyes and I think he's hideous, and his eyes are partly why.
