And I'm still in awe.*

There is banananana-flavoured icing on my donut. Do not want. Ever.

Elephant-painting discussion also pops up, much to my surprise (for the timing, not the topic) on wtf_nature where the consensus seems to be pretty much what I concluded, that elephants can and do draw, but that this particular drawing is due to training. Which still, awesome. (Also, isn't that how we all start? Scribbles all over the place until someone says, "Y'know, the sun's this big yellow blob, and people are made of stick". And we incorporate that into our own little drawings as best we can.)

Bought wine for diner tonight. Somewhat freaking out, but I wouldn't be me if I weren't. Ought to continue reading immense chapter on economics but have hot chocolate, afore-mentioned donut of evil, and Hogfather. Me needs a little happy in my life.

And Mom - or Mamaji as for some inexplicable reason I keep wanting to call her now - is landing in the Netherlands in less'n a week. \o/

ETA: H'oookay, wikipedia's doing the April Fools things, and not too well. It's so heavy-handed as to be gibberish, methinks. (On the other hand, it's of the "Look! Funny!" variety of April Fools, which I like.)
