You're so Vain, You Probably Think this LJ is About You

I don't know how long it will last or if anyone on my f-list would be interested, but itunes is offering the entire first season of the TV show 10 Things I Hate About You for free. Available in HD. You can't beat that with a stick.

I have been feeling guilty for ignoring/avoiding family and friends lately, so I am going to try and stop doing that. I don't even know why I do it in the first place...it just seems like all the energy I have is expelled at work and that's it. I know I have this shit backwards and I need to fix it. So, here we go. Any minute now.

Just a quick how-dee-do as I am in the middle of a long-ass weekend (I don't return to work until Thursday...is nice).

Not much to report. Drove to San Marcos yesterday to visit Nay-nay. We went shopping at the outlet mall there and I bought three sweaters. Thank goodness it's down to the low 80s around here. I need help, ya'll!

The funny thing about hanging with Nay-nay is that no matter what we are doing or what kind of mood we are in, I immediately want to start hanging with her 24/7. It's weird. Reminds me of that summer in high school where we were attached at the hip, picking each other up from work, hanging with Jason and Brian at their strangely parent-less houses, and getting those guys who worked at the bowling alley to buy us alcohol. Yeah, we were cool! LOL...

I am treading water with nanowrimo. I can't complain because as of today, I am over 15K words and I haven't even BEGUN the big plot point. Huh. What can I say? I am a wordy mofo. 

iTunes can suck it. And you can quote me on that.I have been trying to transfer music from my back up drive to the laptop and ARGH! I am having to open each music folder individually. I wish to kill and eat iTunes, but I don't think it would be very tasty. But I bet it would hardly have any calories.

In bad news: my sister went all Marathon Man on my teeth in a particularly grueling cleaning session today. Ow, they hurt. Also, I keep getting streaks of light across my field of vision, so I can't wait to find out what that means. Also, tomorrow Davy-boy goes in for a dreaded test to find out whether or not his symptoms are indicative of the big C. All I know is, if he does have cancer, his body does not have the immune system to fight it. 

But I can't borrow trouble, so I'll just end this with a positive note: 25% off sale at deep discount dvd! I am SO there...

Well, I'm not really drunk - just enjoying a few Dos Equis while watching The Family Stone. Excellent movie in one respect: I think they perfectly capture the insular quality of really close families. My family and I are guility of some of these traits, so I cringed a bit, even when Sarah Jessica Parker's character was being an uptight pill. Wonderfully, subtly done, some of the scenes. 

And speaking of drinking, I find that as I get older, I enjoy drinking at home where I can relax. I'm not worried about anyone else, not wondering about how I'm going to get home, and not afraid to get emotional/maudlin (um, more so than normal). It's rather comforting, although I do drink alone. My deep fear of hangovers thankfully keeps me in check. Seriously. Hangovers get worse and worse as you get older. So if any of you young'uns feel the deep desire to experience one, I suggest you do so before you hit 30.

I swear the iTunes radio DJ just called the piece I was listening to Pinche (fucking or fucker depending on how it is used in a sentence) Songs for the Sabbath. Okay, officially the last beer of the night.

In other news, I am typing this entry with the keyboard on my lap because earlier the rollout part of my desk that holds said keyboard FELL OFF. WTF?! It just came undone. Thank goodness my knees broke its fall. Ouch.

Side note: iTunes' Magnature Classical station that plays all Renaissance and baroque music is teh awesome.

G'night, flist.
