Brain Bounces

Don't you guys think it's fascinating that I've had nothing interesting to report since March 19th? It's April 6th today. Huh.
(Insert snide comments about me not having anything all that interesting to report prior to March 19th here.)(Jerks.)
I still don't have anything interesting to report.
So, in no particular order, here are the (very) few things bouncing around in my brain at the moment.

After years and years of getting my parents, boyfriends, and a few strangers on April Fool's Day, I've not only lost my touch -- I got taken for the second time. First was my junior year of college when Taco Bell took out full page ads in every major newspaper advertising that they'd recently purchased the Liberty Bell in Philly, in order to repair the crack. They also mentioned that they'd be renaming it "The Taco Liberty Bell" and still, no alarm bells (pun intended) went off.
Cut ahead to last week, and my normally beloved Daily Candy had me shrieking in disgust with their newest suggestion on exfoliation. Never realized it was a joke until several days later when my co-worker eyed me oddly as I was retelling the story of what I'd read, and she said (a little condescendingly, if you ask me), "Um, you do realize that was an April Fool's Day prank, riiiiiight?"

My bosses are back after a week of vacation.

Taxes suck ASS. And particularly when you live in one state but work in another. Uncle.

I keep trying to Twitter and it just annoys the hell out of me. Even more a sign of my age than the multiple grey hairs that have comfortably settled in to strange little neighborhoods on my scalp.

My six-word memoir of the day: rainy mondays make me kinda melancholy.

It's been too long since I've been home, and I still have almost four months to go. Unacceptable.

I don't have another commitment-free weekend until Memorial Day. Also unacceptable.

I'm just gonna put it out there. This is the week I win the lottery.

I've decided I want to improve my Spanish, and learn French and Italian. Rosetta Stone is insanely expensive. Want to split it with me? Then we could talk to each other in other languages.

And... yep. That's it.
