Another one

Add another book to my book inventory. Christmas present accompanied by gift certificate for a bookstore.

My friend is having man trouble. I really believe that if she has to ask, she knows the answer. Plain and simple he's a bit of an *sshole. She needs to let him go or better yet kick him out of her life. No 'we're going to try to be friends' just move on once and for all. It's easier said than done, but it has to get easier specially at our age. Right? Easier to not only recognize the mistakes but recognize the mistakes in the making. I hope she makes a decision and that she makes it soon.

It rained the entire weekend. And I did nothing except for sit on my couch and watch TV and movies. Had the heater on and a blanket. It was marvelous.
De-Lovely I have been putting this movie off for a while. I don't remember what I had heard, but I'm sure it was something to do with boring. It was anything but that. It was a musical based on the last 10 seconds of the life of Cole Porter. (This from the special features.) He tells the story of his life via musical segments and I got to recognize music from days past. It turns out he was gay and married to his very understanding muse. Alanis Morrisette performs a song as do Robbie Williams and Sheryl Crowe. I might get the soundtrack.
I, Robot Blah. It wasn't great , it wasn't terrible. It was okay. It reminded me that as a child I thought life was going to be like in a Jetsons cartoon..flying cars and robots. What do we have? That round robotic vacuum, which doesn't seem like it would work well in corners.

I'm counting the days to be on vacation. I want to hang out with the family. I hope they got a christmas tree, I feel like a christmas tree with non-blinking lights.

Not good

I need to be stopped. I have been on what could very well be a spending spree. I look at my bookshelves and there are eleven new books. There are probably 4 new books in my boxes. My father wants to know what I want for Christmas and the first thing that came to my mind was "there are these three books I'd like." And these are just books. I've been spending a lot of money on my apartment.

I went browsing to see what I might get my friend. I found her gift and then decided to get one for myself. A purse.

I brought work home with me this weekend. It has not seen the light of day. I fool myself everytime I do that. If I want to get work done during the weekend, I have to go to the office. There is no way around it. I'll have to discipline myself though, because I've decided to start telecommuting in 2006.

Movies. I can't sit and enjoy a movie unless I am confined to a movie theatre. While watching the following, I was reading a magazine, sweeping the floors, washing dishes, removing curtain rods.
After the Sunset I loved the blue hues of the water. The movie was predictable.
Uptown Girls I will be following Dakota Fanning's career. This little girl is a good actor and she gives an entertaining interview. She was the only reason to watch this movie.
Girl with a Pearl Earring Drab colors suck the little energy I have on a lazy afternoon. I loved when she was mixing the colors, specifically an amazing blue.

Modified dental chair! That's what was described on the news about the upcoming death penalty execution Tuesday, assuming there is no pardon. I will be in a regular dental chair for about three hours on Tuesday. Not making light of the situation.

Crappy

I've been waking up with a headache the last week, which in turn leads me to have a crappy mood at work. People are noticing too.

My mom's one month visit ended on Sunday. It was a nice visit, but the last few days I knew I'd reached my "I want to be alone" time. I'm looking forward to going home on Christmas Eve.

I bought a bed. King size. What the hell was I thinking? Oh yeah, I wasn't. It barely fits in my room, but I love it. It's super comfy.

The end of the year is here. It's been non-stop thinking and reflecting for me. Maybe that is where the headaches are coming from. Hmmmmm.

I bought Christmas cards, yet feel no desire to send them out.
