Personal Napoleonic Notes

.1. These are my second set of Random Personal Notes today…and that’s because it’s just one of those days. It may not happen again for a while, so enjoy it.

.2. I am reading Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion (unrelated to The Christ), and so because it is centered around the time and reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, today’s lunch hour took me for a spin on Napoleon’s life and quotes. Surprisingly, I found that it was he (and not Cummings, as I had originally thought) that said the brilliant: “Fortune is like a woman – if you miss her today, think not to find her tomorrow.”

Note to self: Perhaps it is the short men whom I should be paying more attention to.

Note to self 2: Short men it is, for after all, they do possess the excellent dancing height for a partner, when am not in heels.

Q for you: Do you think Napoleon knew how to do a jig?

.3. I think that a part of me has to always be tortured to a certain degree in order to peek my interest with regards to the situation (any situation) at hand.

Note to you: Am not even goth (am almost always in white).

.4. I have discovered the anklette. Unlike the Rockette, they don’t dance…but are most definitely a brilliant make of nylon. When next you see me and am in heels, look for them at my ankles.

.5. I spoke with Holt Renfrew’s Office of Executive Experience this morning, and am to receive word of how they plan on resolving my six month wait without the black shoe. Will update you asap (because I know you’ve been waiting with baited breath since early this morning).
