Beware The Ides of March

Yes, as full4zaccordion reminded me, today is indeed the Ides of March.

As anyone that ever read Julius Caesar in high school - or even college - might remember, Cinna the Poet warned Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March", and we all know how that fateful day ended.


So, if you're highly superstitious like Julius Caesar, or just happen to be rockin' the Caesar 'do (you sad, sad individual...) make sure that you avoid large crowds with people named Marcus Brutus, mmmmkay? ;)

Apparently dpaul007 and rockfic are both experiencing their own versions of the Martian Death Flu^TM today in their respective Fair Cities, so here's wishing you both quick recoveries! :-) If nothing else, you at least get a good excuse to stay in bed and sleep all day, right?


And also, there's a birthday in LJ-Land! Hope it's a great day for you!

Happy Birthday jeniviolet!

This is something that I could get away with posting here - it's a relatively neutral thought. :)

I've always wanted cute hair like Leisha Hailey - that would be her on the left, if you clicky-clicked on the link. Although, k.d. lang's pretty darn hot, too.

Anyways, I look at Leisha and her cute hair ... and my immediate thought is, "that only works on cute skinny girls - not on a fat chick like me". I know, not exactly the best mindset to walk around with - but that's kind of how I feel sometimes. Still, I think it's a cute style, and perhaps I will go for it at some point.


In other cool stuff to gawk at - besides cute girls - this is the new Timbuk2 bag that I've been geeking out over. I *love* the Atomic design, quite fun, I'd say! Here it is: It's Prettyful.

Livestrong Bracelets

I see so many people wearing them - among other bracelets, for other charities/causes (although some are merely to line 7-11's pockets) - I wonder, would it be rude of me to ask random people about their motivation behind wearing their respective bracelet(s)?


I have a Livestrong bracelet (finally), and I wear it as a tribute to my stepdad - he's a cancer survivor, going on 2 years in April. My whole family has (and wears) the bracelet for this reason. It reminds us that someone we know and love has kicked cancer's ass. It reminds me that there have been others before him that haven't been as fortunate - and many that will follow, and also kick cancer's ass.

Sure, it may seem simple, but it reminds me to be thankful, and to count my blessings whenever possible. Because, somewhere, someone else's family may not be as fortunate as mine has been.
