Hooray for Postmodernism

Three Things I Bought This Weekend:

1. Katje's "Salzige Heringe" Licorice - I kept hearing about these, and when I came across them, I couldn't resist. "Salzige Heringe" means (I assume) "Salt Herring" in German. They're black licorice fish, coated in salt. They're even more weird than you think, and strangely addictive. I think they're like G-Rated absinthe.
   
2. A plant for my desk at my new day job. Her name is "Plantie."
   
3. A Calendar for my desk at my new day job. Did you know you can get calendars for 50% off at this time of year? Think about it: The year is only 1/24 over, yet the monetary value of calendars has plummeted. At this rate, they'll be completely worthless in a few days. For me, it serves as a bittersweet reminder of the transient, fleeting nature of time. -What a bargain, though!
