Don't mind me.
]]>My parents' 40th wedding anniversary is coming up and I have NO idea what to get them. They're driving up to Michigan with my Grandma that weekend, so they can visit her sister and the rest of my mom's family. I was thinking about just giving them money for gas and whatever but that's not really thoughtful. I honestly can't think of anything they actually need and if I ask them what they want, I won't get any kind of useful response. I was thinking about gift cards for restaurants, maybe.
What the hell do you get people who've been married for 40 years?
Word is that U2 is working on a new album due out in November (squee!). Completely unrelated to that, I was listening to "War" earlier today and then found this tonight. I forgot this video even existed.
Three things:
1. I don't get the acrobats, at all.
2. I'm not sure why this song was picked for a video. I love it because I'm a U2 fan but it doesn't really go with "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day," in terms of picking singles.
3. Cuties. They're all in their way early 20's in this video.
Show us a picture of the pet you'd most like to have in your life.
I want a dog. I don't care if it's a puppy, an adult dog, big, little, purebred, a mutt, whatever. I just want a dog. Two would be great but I won't be greedy.
My apartment doesn't allow pets and I want a condo anyway, so I've been tucking money away over the past few months. If I do that consistently, I might be able to buy a place in the next, I don't know, five years? I could find an apartment that allows dogs, I guess, but I can't afford the rent on a new place so I'm kind of stuck here for a while.

I'm thinking about finding an illustrator to create an image for my blog that I can base a theme redesign around. Basically, I want a cartoon-ish image of a girl, based on me, holding a pear. Something really fun and eye-catching. I have no idea where to start looking for someone to hire, though. I've always designed my blogs myself so I don't know where to look for someone to help me with the part I can't do. I wish I could draw but I can't!
I'm going to look around online to see if I can figure this out but if any of you smarties out there in my Vox 'hood have suggestions, lemme know.
