usually

usually i look forward to fridays. i crave them. i wait and wait and wait for them to arrive, i mark the days on my calendar.

this week i've been dreading its arrival, because it means i've only got 3 days left before i have to return to work. i never did make my list of to do items this week--yesterday's grand plans fell by the wayside, as usual...i did have my hair trimmed but the girl didn't take enough off the bottom so consequently this morning the hair looks worse (yes, worse) than it did yesterday. i can see what she was going for, but she must be used to dealing with submissive hair, not this wild stand-up-to-the-world hair that i generate daily. so we'll see. it's better but it's worse. who knows.

tonight is also sg1 night, which is something i adore...but again, the adoration factor is marred by the fact that next week it's back to cubeland.

i think the universe, however, is trying to coax a smile out of me yet--it's snowing and windy out, which is just ever so lovely, and the forecast is for 6-10 inches. yippee!!! that inspires me to cook something stew related, bake some bread, and just generally curl up in the house after forging a path through the park. which is what i'm hoping to do yet this morning.

so last night, in lieu of braving the rest of humanity that was probably clogging kieran's and drowning out the gaels anyway, dan and i went over to our local bar and had a guiness and trounced the other folks there playing trivia. it was quite lovely, and the guiness was on tap, so it tasted much better than the tinny, canned flavor it usually has when poured (not surprisingly) from a can. came home, dan headed up to meet sean and craig, and burt and eero and i drove over to meet darin and cathy and chrissy and mikey at d fong's. which is always a good time, lots of laughter and the best service on the planet from julie, our fave waitress. (she's one of those waitresses who doesn't need to hear you say a word--just brings out your favorite soup, whatever you usually drink, and then scolds you if you order outside your normal area. the other amazing part about julie is that she remembers for-e-ver what you ate the last time you were there. i mean, i doubt dan and i have been over there in about 2 months or more, and yet she had egg drop soup in front of me not five minutes after i sat down. amazing, is julie.)

after dinner burt and eero and i watched a netflix of eero's--circle, the eddie izzard performance from 2000. it was hysterical, as usual. did some surfing of the net and read for a bit, and then crashed.

and now it's friday. *sigh* i need more time! or maybe i just need some lottery winnings, so that i don't have to show up there or anywhere and can just keep typing all day long. riiiiiiiiiiiiight. how would the kitchen get cleaned up that way?
