the origami jack jam is on // 2002-10-31

i woke up this morning to c pawing me, which is really one of the best things on earth. he says i'm easy to please, but honestly i couldn't ask for anything more. when i'm being pawed i'm like large game that's been hit by a powerful tranquilizer dart.

today was our quarterly all-hands meeting. skipping out on the all hands is now as solid a tradition as the tradition of the all hands meeting itself. who wants to watch a bunch of costumed rah-rahs (on halloween, of course) jump around and chirp over numbers and the holiday season and all that? i'm sorry, but i don't want to be subjected to such cheers as "THE JAM IS ON... AT [COMPANY NAME HERE]!" ever again. no sir, not me.

so, after my class, c and i met and had breakfast at the green cat, where it was pleasantly sunny and quiet. and then i helped c shop for new clothes. he picked out a very sexy white shirt and a lovely grey sweater and a dashing wool scarf. rowr.

arno and i just went for a walk over to panama hotel to get macha lattes, and the cute japanese girl there with the red glasses gave us orange origami paper and instructions on how to make an "origami jack". the instructions were certainly cryptic at best. here's my best attempt, though the pumpkin seems terribly misshapen. and you don't even want to see what the back of this thing looks like. i think arno is still toiling away over his. this should make him jealous:

(ooh! while scanning my origami jack i found a remaining lychee gummy from last week when i scanned it. yay! another pleasant surprise for me.)
