Mmm, love the lovely no-work Fridays! I did bring stuff home with me (a binder full of software admin guides) that I have to read by next Tuesday. DO NOT WANT.

I ran a couple of errands earlier, including picking up a couple of pairs of jeans at Old Navy (on sale for $19 apiece and it's tax-free weekend, baby). Oh, Old Navy! Why do you tempt me with your sales and your cute scarves, and blouses with lacy trim?!

In super-dooper exciting news, I am going to see my sweet baboo Arwen over Labor Day weekend. That's right, uh-huh, going to see her, can't stop me...er, what was I saying? Oh, yeah! Visiting the greater San Francisco area, one of my favoritest places in all the world. ^_________^

And finally, I thought I would make Nay-nay a vegan, diabetic chocolate cake for her birthday, but the recipes I've come up with so far do not fill me with any great amount of confidence. I think the potential for disaster is rather high on this one. What to do, what to do...if any of ya'll have any tried and true tips for uber-specialized baking, I'd love to hear it!

Okay, off to go do stuff.

Only 48 hours this week. Work is positively spoiling me. [/sarcasm]

We saw The Namesake yesterday and it was beautiful and heartbreaking and rambling. Just everything I love in a movie. I thought the relationship between the parents was richer and more developed than the son's breakaway and eventual return to his heritage. And although my family is not as traditional or culturally steeped in our own roots, I can appreciate the whole tug-of-war between being true to your ethnicity and being true to yourself when you have been raised apart from it. And also about hurting the people that gave you life just because you wish it were all different somehow.

Yeah.

Go see it, it's lovely.

Also, Old Navy is seducing me with all the cute, cheap shorts they are selling. Must. Be. Strong. I hardly ever shop there because their random sizing either fills me with excitable hope or utter dispair. A litttle consistency please!!! *ahem*


Well, I have some more FMP:TSR and Hana Yori Dango DVDs, so I'm off. Saturday night, oh Saturday night...
