We have some new additions in the Devine/Hite household ...

• A lovely blue betta for which Mason himself suggested the name Zhaan. Yes, he's a boy, but I've always considered fish to be kinda sexless. And the name certainly fits the coloring.
  
• A lovely wee bonsai, thanks to Mason. Some sort of pine tree, methinks, althought bent pretty much horizontal. I've always wanted one.
  
• A lovely Spandau Ballet video, freshly converted from the PAL format, containing all of their videos. I'm beside myself with ecstasy over this.
  
• A lovely new Neil Finn CD, One All. It's supposed to be brilliant. I haven't listened yet, although I did reacquaint myself with Crowded House's masterpiece, Temple of Low Men, today. In the face of Neil Finn's formidable songwriting talents, I can only genuflect and chant 'I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy.'

On a side note, I'm a graduate student now! My class began today, and I dug into my required readings. I love being asked to think again. It's an ethics class, and I've always found ethics fascinating as a topic.

Off to bed in preparation for another exciting day of work, business and school. I'm expected to clean tomorrow, too. This could be challenging.
