Not waiting for the LJ Friday Five… so here is F.riday.com’s questions!
1. When did you recently do something on the sly?
The thing is, I hardly need to be all secretive anymore. Even with the Christmas presents, at least for my immediate family, I went all "here, this is what I will give you, you like the color? OK, then I'll wrap it up". I understand some people like the surprise in that, but I guess we've reached a stage in our lives where it's better to be all practical and useful.
2. Which of your plans for the coming week is still up in the air?
Welllllll.... I have Wednesday and Thursday confirmed, as those are the only 2 working days... that I took the day off (to make it a week-long holiday) and I've already made appointments with my friends. I guess I should decide what I should do with Tuesday, I need to swing back into the office to pick up something.
3. What’s happening across the street?
LOL I have no idea. Everyone's pretty quiet. I see lights are on, but not much noise.
4. What have you heard recently through the grapevine?
Nothing "spicy" or "exciting" enough to share around. Just some not-quite-gossip about some newly hired big shot taking time off already when the department is supposed to be busy with budgets.
5. What kinds of videos on YouTube are likeliest to send you down the rabbit hole?
Oh, not likeliest, HAVE ALREADY! I was watching a video of a lady from China explaining stone beads and stuff, and then she mentioned "galaxy aquamarine" and I've been hunting around for them. I guess they are also called "galactic aquamarine" and in one case "starry aquamarine". I don't know how authentic they are, but they are sure pretty to look yet. I'm still in the rocks and stones crazy... !!!
