Weekend

Friday, there was pie at work. No wonder none of my pants fit me anymore.

Friday, I watched some Doctor Who, the first series of the new series, or however it's labelled. It reminded me of Sliders. *ducks* Seriously, though, it felt like two shows, at least at the beginning - a cheesy kid-oriented action show with ooh! aliens!, and a parable of loneliness and exploration for adults. And then I watched an interview with the lead actor that was on the first disc, and he kept talking about how he'd done the series because he'd never done a kids' show before, and the interviewer asked all these questions about the responsibilities that come with doing a show for children, and suddenly it all made sense. It pretty much *is* two shows. But it comes together more as the series goes on, at least I felt so, and I love the relationship between Rose and The Doctor. All in all, a fun watch.

Friday, I went to bed early, because I am OLD.

Saturday, I went running. And I did not fall over and die, although I kind of wanted to during my last few minutes.

Saturday, I went wandering and had any number of crises, including what is the point of life? what am I doing with my life? what do I want to do with my life? how can I either accept that I am fat or get myself to do something about it? and what am I going to do about this massive infatuation that will not die? The only one of those I resolved was the last one, and the answer, predictably, was "nothing".

Saturday, I saw Little Miss Sunshine, which was awesome and fantastic and one of the best things I've seen in ages, although I am aware that my reactions tend to be heightened when I see movies in the theatre (because that happens so rarely), so it might not be quite that amazing. I did love it, though.

Saturday, tasty sushi was consumed with [livejournal.com profile] sarcasma and [livejournal.com profile] sanity_clause and then I attempted to cuddle their kitties, but they mostly ran away, as usual. One stayed with me for a brief moment, though, which was exciting.

Sunday, I did nothing. Followed by heading out in the rain to Word on the Street, where I huddled under my umbrella and listened to Sars and Wing Chun read from their new Television Without Pity book. Very fun, if wet.

Sunday, I did more nothing, then watched some Deadwood (with naked Molly Parker, hello!) and the second episode of Studio 60. Which I still love.

Today, the hallways smell like toasted raisin bread.

Tonight, I have to do some of the housework that I neglected all weekend.
listersgirl: (slippers for all)
Breakfast: Forgot to buy cereal again, so I had oatmeal. I feel gross.

Weekend: Stratford! Oliver! Colm Feore!

Transportation: Car rental places are not so convenient for spontaneous trips. So, bus to Kitchener, hang out with friends, borrow their car (hybrid!) for the trip to Stratford. Which is slightly terrifying.

Work: Slooooooow. But not for me. Still, any day now people should start coming back from holidays and we should start getting some new CDs in.

Crush: Still there. Make it go away, please?

Drum: I replaced the head, which was supposedly why it sounded like ass, but discovered that there's part of a screw missing (the part that it screws into), which is the real problem. It sounds a little better with the new head, though.

Gym: I'm still in awe that I can even put this on the list. I've been three times this week - once for faux-yoga and twice on the cardio machines. Next up: weights. I hate trying to figure out weights in a new gym.

Sugar: Still banished, other than cake last Friday.

Cravings: Swedish berries. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Coffee toffee ice cream. Lemon squares.

Headaches: Only one, after clenching jaw too much. not bad.

French: I'm listening to French radio. I have no idea what they're talking about, but I recognize words. It's a start, right? Update: Well, I know what they're talking about now. Sports, even in French, are highly recognizable. Sadly.

Today: I hear rumours of beer at the library. (Which have now been bumped to next week. That means I have to work all afternoon! Hmph.)
listersgirl: (why pirates?)
So what, you ask, have I been doing in the last 5 days since I posted? Very little, other than living downtown and enjoying the central AC and the cat. Best cat-sitting gig ever.

Also, I appear to be going through a serious girly phase. I'm sure this is no way related to the fact that I am crushing on everyone around me. Of course not! Anyway, last weekend I attempted to buy a whole new wardrobe (although I failed miserably and couldn't find anything I liked), and today I randomly bought a VERY CUTE pair of strappy red shoes. For no reason at all. They were awfully cheap though, and SO CUTE.

And now for the sad news: I have come to the devastating conclusion that sugar is giving me headaches and making me a cranky, moody bitch. THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS. I love sugar! I adore sugar! I'm not entirely sure I have the capability of surviving without sugar, especially not when I'm using it to replace so many missing things in my life. But, I need to test this hypothesis, so starting...as soon as I finish this bag of candy I was given, I am going to attempt to stay away from sugar etc. for some length of time. As long as I can. Hopefully a week, but I've never made it that long before. All of which is to say that if I say "let's go for ice cream!", the correct answer is to lock me in the closet.

ETA: Really sad news! Chicklit is closing (at least the content part of the site - the forums will still be around for a while). I will really miss it. It's been such a thought-provoking, stimulating, entertaining place. Plus, that's where I met so many of you.
