Stopped at Target on the way home from work yesterday. Had the intention of getting in and getting out, hoping to still get to see the second episode of Judge Judy, but unfortunately, as often happens, once I get in Target, great chunks of time disappear. I have to go back today to return a very misguided skirt purchase. Anyways, once I got home, I hung out with Carmin, watching television and basically talking shit on everything that crossed the screen. Sometimes I worry that I really am too jaded and cynical for my own good. How did I get to be so bitter? Well, how much time ya got?
Project Runway started, and I can't help but reinerate what a good show it really is. Good concept, even if the casts totally fall into archetypes, eventually, they distinguish themselves (slightly) and it's just very enjoyable, and cool to have something to follow and discuss with other people. Got a text from Nick yesterday afternoon asking if I wanted to go to dinner with him and his family next Friday at Pazo. I said yes, that I would really like that. I also got one of those $50 gift certificates for $25 from Owl Bar yesterday, so I look forward to going there, as well. This will be the first time in a month that I will not be off on Friday, which sucks. I've had three day weekends since the end of June when Carm and I cleaned out the apartment, then it was the Fourth of July, then Alkaline last week.
Totally need to do laundry, may get that done tonight. I wish we could get in the basement of the house to use the washer and dryer. However, I'm a little leary about the cleanliness and creature issues that basement may pose. I guess I'll have to go to the laundromat again.
I want to finish decorating my room, too. It feels half-assed and unsettled. I need to get my flag up on the wall, my Smiths poster, rearrange some stuff, not still have boxes sitting around and all. More things I could get done if I were off of work on my own with no distractions for a day or two.
Felt really good about my consumption so far this week, till conference yesterday had fajitas, so I had two of those, then, continuing the Latin flavour of the day, Tostitos and salsa last night for dinner. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that salsa only has ten calories in two table spoons, which, even given if one is eating a lot of salsa, is still very good. The chips are higher, but I would even consider putting salsa on saltines, which would buy one more leadway. So I do feel I went a little over board yesterday, maybe took a step back, but atleast I don't have to go to conference today, so I will avoid the temptation of that. There are bagels from one of the drug reps here today, but so far I have been good.
Nick texted me last night that The Shining may be the most perfect movie ever made. It is a good one, and Carmin's favourite. Her and I then watched a good deal of another favourite cinematic masterpiece, Purple Rain haha.
I will be glad to get my laundry done and see Nick later. Inching towards the weekend. I saw a coming attraction for the new Brideshead movie--- it looks so fucking good, even though I know I will sit there complaining about the inaccuracies from the book, still, it looks very good indeed. Want to discuss Project Runway with Nick, get some drinks, and compare the status of battle scars. I have the pattern of his teeth in my shoulder still.
