For those of us on the right side of the date line, tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Otherwise for the non-natives it's 19 September, but by all means feel free to celebrate early.
I've been given the hurry up to post some more musings, apparently they're neither coming hard nor fast enough. My feeble excuse is that I've had the pleasure to tell most people face to face (or the virtual equivalent) all the interesting things in my life, but I remembered that doesn't include everyone, so that battle was quickly lost.
So for starters I've got the gracious luck to be going to the Young Professionals Ball this coming Saturday. Work has somehow considered it to be a marketing and networking event, and that forking out $75 for a night's festivities, drink, and food is a worthwhile investment. Who am I to complain? The only catch, apart from Elaine not being here for me to accompany, is that it's a masquerade ball - a Labyrinth Masquerade to be precise. Costume. Fun.
But fun we will make it. The other representative from work, who by means of also being in a long distance relationship makes me wonder whether work actually thought this through so the two people most likely to not make assess of themselves are going, is having a little soirée beforehand. There our masquerade masks shall be professionally applied as body art to our faces. How freaking sweet is that? Professionally even. Rest assured there will be photographic evidence.
As for other interesting times - it has become apparent that this year's exchange to Bucerius is at full swing. The stories are vague as of yet, but it sounds like there's many a fun times being had, though I'm not clear of any gossip going on in regard to improving international relations. I shall endeavour to uncover the news as it happens.
Oh, and one of my favourite webcomics, which is on the links to your right, is definitely worth a view, if not to reveal my inner geek a little more. There's a few gems in there, like this:
