The Octopus watches


I found this really amazing piece of jewelry this summer, and purchased it in a very spur of the moment way, which is highly unlike me. But it's so unique and cool, and I've gotten a ton of comments upon it today, including one from a guy at swing dancing who was genuinely a little bit disturbed by it, I think. Although it is possible that he could have been disturbed by the fact that he was about to attempt a dip move with a woman several inches taller than him (that would be me) of no tiny stature.

I've been realizing that I have been very bad about taking time for myself this year. I get very caught up in schoolwork (especially now that I'm without a roommate to distract me -- I do dislike living alone), and partly because I'm trying to be a beast about "banking hours" at work so that I can take time off for Thanksgiving and leaving for Christmas, etc. But that me time is really important for balance, and so tonight, I'm watching a movie, and this weekend, I'm going to find a nice trail and go hiking.

I wish I had Dad's old manual camera here, but it was one of the (few) things I decided I didn't need at William and Mary. But if I had it, I'd take it with me and have a little photo shoot. Alas, I'll have to enjoy the scenery the old fashion way with my eyes.
