Want to shadow a zookeeper for a morning?
Shadows study, feed, clean up after animals

You pay $500 (money goes towards the cost of hosting an international zookeeping congress) and you get to follow a zookeeper around for the morning, helping with their job and learning what it's all about. Perfect for people who enjoy picking up elk poo. *hee*

I got my jewelry order from Spotted Octopus yesterday and I'm wearing my new necklace and matching earrings today, which is a cause of much squee-age. Everything I bought is so, so pretty! (Also got a UV filter for my new lens, which means I can go ahead and take the new lens outside, whee!)

I kinda of want to go see the local Haunted House, but haven't decided if I'm sufficiently motivated to do so. It's so close to the house that I don't really have an excuse not to go see it, though. It's been ages since I've done the haunted house thing.

My missions for this weekend include:

• Laundry
• cleaning out my bedroom closet, preferably tonight
• go Girly Shopping at Bellevue Square
• Finish unpacking my weekend bag from last weekend
• Finish the next Imryne story
• Start in on the last Sleepless Streets installment
• Watch TV (whee!)
• Do some housecleaning

...okay, I think I'm a smidge ambitious there.
