I made a Customer Service Bingo card today and tacked it up in a somewhat unobtrusive spot behind my monitor. It does seem to add an element of interest to the job: “Great! I only need ‘This has been going on for some time and I’ve just about had it with you people’ to make Bingo!”

I am really liking this new definition of the word “porn,” where it means something like “things you can’t stop looking at,” “things that make you drool,” or, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gondolinchick01 put it, “any kind of sensory titillation.” If I were still in school I would write the hell out of a dissertation on it.
I’ve heard a few versions: there’s library porn, space porn, food porn.
Of course, searching for more examples may be a bit of a minefield, but hey—FOR SCIENCE.

Meanwhile, last night I had a Really Awesome idea for a short story. It even still looked semi-awesome when I woke up this morning, which is a good sign. On the other hand, I may be one of few people on Earth who find the thought of exploding cows awesome.

Also, it looks like I’m going to need a Halloween costume, after all. I wasn’t planning on it; I was thinking this year I would just dress up my dolls instead. (Damn those twins are gonna look cute.) But then I got involved with Jess's social circle again and suddenly I’m going to a party. So I’m going to take one of the costumes I was going to make the doll, and make it for me. Which means I have two options: I can either dye something I’ve already got a hideous slime green and then modify it, or buy more already-hideous-green fabric and haul it into my first day of sewing class with a reference photo and say, “I need to make this look like this by next Saturday!”

Urg. Too much time staring at the screen. Gotta rest my eyes.
