looking for a
mother's ring to buy my mom for
christmas. i wish i could afford to buy her something spectacular, but i can't, so i will buy ye olde
generic mother's ring. i
will not get simulated stones, though. so right now i'm doing the final choosing -- they're all 14 carat yellow
gold (her preference), with 3 stones:
opal (for me),
amethyst (for jenn), and
ruby (for mom). unfortunately, most of the three stone options are kinda ugly, so i may just wind up getting two stones, one for me one for jenn. also, combining clear
red and
purple stones with an opaque pinkish-white stone may look odd, whereas pinkish-white with purple may be better. but we'll see. I could go with pink
tourmaline (which, according to the prices for the rings is more expensive) instead of opal for my
october birth stone -- but i've always considered
opal to be my birth stone and the pink
tourmaline to be a fake.
even though the man left for
california yesterday, i'm in a decent mood. i had dinner with his
sister last night, and his nephew drew me a picture which is now on my fridge. it's odd sitting down for dinner with a
family -- a family that actually
cooks from scratch,
talks during dinner, and actually
like each other.
the whole 2000
election is
dumb.
dumb dumb dumb. ra ra
retarded! and that's all i have to say about that.
more later...
News
robert downey jr. was busted again. this time at
merv griffin's resort hotel & givenchy spa in palm springs,
california. pretty humourous. they found
cocaine and
methamphetamine. i think he must really like
jail.
last night the
florida election was certified, showing
george w. bush as the winner in that state's election after a process of manual ballot recounts in several counties.
al gore had insisted upon recounts, and now challenges those recounts.
silly.
superquick world news update:
all over the place, people are
killing each other in the name of unproven
gods and the latest
sneaker fashions. while 40% of the
planet saw at least some part of the last
victoria's secret fashion show, thousands of other people died of
hunger. unknown
diseases are spreading and known
diseases are
mutating.
politicians, all over the place, are being
assholes at an alarming rate.
fat populations don't care about anything they don't see on their
teevee set. and so the world keeps spinning.
