Hooray, it's finally Friday. This has been the most up-and-down week, so I'm glad to see it's coming to an end. I came into the office today, but am now kind of wishing I had stayed home and fiddled with the Mac a bit more to try to connect to the company Intranet so I could work from home. A gentle thunderstorm woke me up this morning, and I was all snuggly warm under the covers in my cold room and did NOT want to get out from underneath them.

But, alas, here I am. I'm hoping it'll be a fairly easy day, considering yesterday was wacko. *fingers crossed*

Tomorrow a few girlfriends and I are hitting the streets of Philadelphia (cue Bruce) for some shopping, dinner at Continental in Old City and then some bar-hopping. It's for our semi-regular "Girls' Night/Day" that we have to book months in advance since the four of us all have such crazy schedules. Should be a good time. I haven't been in the city since I quit my old job two months ago, so it'll be nice to actually enjoy Philadelphia without having to associate it with work. :)

Anyway, to pass the time, I did a meme. It's related to Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series, and more specifically, the first book, The Golden Compass. It's a great series that Libby introduced me to, actually. Like Harry Potter, it's filed in the children's section, but I think that the topics covered and hinted at throughout the series (issues with Christianity, religion as a whole, original sin, etc.) are really quite adult. The Golden Compass is being released in December in movie form, and I can't wait to see it, especially how the characters' daemons (the soul existing outside the body in the form of an animal) will be portrayed and what Iorek Byrnison will look like.
