I'm pretty much over this week's big task. I received 9462 database records - a file full of duplications and records that need merged and other records that need data moved or reformatted, and I'm going through it line-by-line, trying to clean it all up.

It's an (a) boring; and (b) eye-straining task that I have to focus on just enough that I can't do anything else at the same time, but it doesn't even begin to engage my actual brain.

Also? I'm quite certain that some of the people on this list are, in fact, queens and princesses (it's that kind of database), but some of them are just playing make-believe and they should stop acting like they're still eight.

People should think when choosing their email alias. It says more about them than they might realize. I mean, I've never quite been able to come up with an email alias myself (still working on it, after 12 years online), but I'm sure whatever I eventually settle on will be better than hermajestytheprincess when I am clearly neither.

Other things that are not cute are variations on the word "catnip" and anything with "joyjoyjoy" in it.

Sheesh.

The other night, a friend of mine dreamed she moved in with a feckless but very attractive man who borrowed all of her money and stole her shampoo.

That same night, I dreamed that the loaf of bread in my cabinet got moldy and I couldn't eat it.

I really need to get out more. Either that, or find some new hobby (yeah, I need another one of those going right now) that does more stimulate my brain. (Because, user and thief? Yes. But, attractive man!)
